Wu-Tang
was hit with another lawsuit. This time they are accused of battery,
false imprisonment, and defamation, among other allegations. The
plaintiff in the lawsuit, Bridget Gray, filed the lawsuit Tuesday
in California Superior Court, County of Los Angeles. Gray is suing
for an incident in which she alleges that members of the Wu-Tang
Clan made derogatory comments and held her against her will while
she was hired to appear in a Wu-Tang Clan video. As she was trying
to leave the shoot, it was reported the Papa Wu blocked her exit
with his car. She is seeking some $6,000,000. A year ago – Oct.
2, 1997 – a Chicago Loud Records promotion man filed a $2 million
suit against members of the Clan for allegedly beating him that
August, for talking about the group on the radio. The accusation
was followed eight days later by a suit by Juanita L. Evans, who
filed suit in Delaware County, Pa., against RZA and Method Man,
Rush Associated Labels rapper Redman, and a Pennsylvania university
and its student government association. Evans claimed Method Man
seriously injured her when he dove off the stage, and landed on
her, knocking her unconscious. She sought $50,000 in general damages
and $5 million in punitive damages. In Ol Dirt news, he showed
up for his court date in Beverly Hills, October 8th. His bail
was set at $150,000. He will remain in custody, until his bail
review hearing October 9th, unless he posts $100,000. His bail
