Trey Songz is in the midst of a sexual assault lawsuit and according to Court transcripts obtained by TMZ a woman was paid to change her story and pain Trey as the bad guy.
TMZ shared that a woman testified that the attorney for Songz’s alleged victim offered her up to $200,000 to change her story …..a claim the attorney denies.
The lawsuit was filed by a woman named Jauhara Jeffries — who says he violated her at a 2017 New Year’s Eve party in Miami.
In the transcript from a recent court hearing in the case, a woman named Mariah Thielen testified she met with Jeffries’ attorney, Ariel Mitchell, in April 2021 at a bar in Miami.
Thielen says Mitchell smelled like weed during the meeting, and was carrying a gun.
According to the transcript, Thielen — who was with Jeffries the night of Trey’s alleged assault — says Mitchell offered to pay between $100k-$200k if she’d lie and say she witnessed Trey sexually assault Jeffries … and claim that Trey assaulted her too.
Mitchell allegedly said she was trying to paint Trey as “the next R. Kelly.”
Thielen says Mitchell’s plan was to take her allegations to Trey’s team in hopes of coming to a monetary settlement, and her lies would help to make that amount larger … again, this according to the transcript.
Thielen claims she turned the offer down — saying she wouldn’t have lied for even $10 million — and reported the meeting to Trey’s legal team a short time later.
Mitchell denies the claims, telling us, “We’re highly confident and certain the court will find the witness committed perjury.
Parties are still awaiting the judges’ further instructions on how to proceed given the witness’s inconsistent testimony during the hearing.”
Mitchell’s partner, George Vrabeck, withdrew from the case, stating there was “multiple grounds for withdrawal” that existed under the Florida Rules for Professional Conduct … but Mitchell says that’s only because, “He will be representing me against the parties involved in this disgraceful motion brought by Trey Songz and his representatives.”
Interestingly enough, both Ariel and George withdrew from a case where they represented a woman who accused Chris Brown of rape and sued for $20 million.
Both dropped out shortly after Chris posted a series of texts and voicemails from the woman, making it seem as is they were friendly.
Ariel told us she withdrew because she was not aware of the messages.
