Dwight Howard reportedly admitted to meeting his sexual assault accuser off Instagram to hook up but denies the assault allegations.
In July NBA Legend Dwight Howard was sued and accused of sexual battery and assault. His accuser alleged this all started from a DM he sent Howard that led to frisky text then a late night meet up. Allegedly things went south between the two when the man arrived at Howards Georgia home.
While at the home the man claims Dwight forced him into a threesome with a man dressed as a woman named “Kitty”.
“Defendant stood up (towering over Mr. Harper), grabbed Mr. Harper by the thighs, forcibly removed Mr. Harper’s underwear, held Mr. Harper down, and performed nonconsensual oral sex on Mr. Harper,” the suit read. “Mr. Harper was in fear of imminent bodily harm when he was pinned down and forced to remain in place while Defendant continued to sexually assault him.”
According to Radar Online, Howard has responded to the lawsuit and admits to sharing sexually explicit images with the man in the summer of 2021. Furthermore, he admited they did link at his Georgia residence on July 19, 2021. Additionally Howard said things started as unclothed “consensual kissing”.
Howard maintains everything was consensual between all three parties. In fact, he alleges the victim was aware another party would be involved in their hook-up.
“Plaintiff was aware that (they) would also be arriving at the home prior to Plaintiff even arriving at Defendant’s home.”
Allegedly Howard also admitted that Kitty was in fact a man dressed as a woman. Dwight is maintaining it was all consensual and wants the lawsuit dismissed in court.
