Vanessa LeMaistre has filed a lawsuit against Grammy-winning music producer Metro Boomin, alleging s3xual assault in 2016
According to court documents, LeMaistre claims she and Metro developed a friendship during a 2016 Las Vegas trip. She visited his Los Angeles studio, where she says she observed him misusing codeine.
LeMaistre alleges that during a September 2016 studio visit, she took medication and alcohol to cope with grief over her son’s death, blacked out, and awoke to find Metro allegedly assaulting her.
She claims she later woke up in a Beverly Hills hotel room with no memory of how she arrived.
LeMaistre says she discovered a pregnancy soon after, which she believes could only be Metro’s. She terminated the pregnancy in November 2016.
LeMaistre points to lyrics in Metro’s 2017 song “Rap Saved Me” as referencing her trauma.
The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages for emotional distress and punitive damages.
Metro’s attorney, Lawrence Hinkle II, calls the allegations “false” and a “shakedown,” stating Metro refused to pay LeMaistre and will defend himself in court.
Metro Boomin has not released a personal statement.
