Mary J. Blige Escapes 'Baseless' Lawsuit from Sean Combs Ex Misa Hylton as Judge Slams 'Abandonment'

A New York judge has dismissed a lawsuit filed by former friend and stylist Misa Hylton against Mary J. Blige, citing "abandonment" of her claims after Hylton failed to respond to Blige's motion to dismiss.

The lawsuit, which alleged that Blige attempted to poach Harlem rapper Vado from Hylton's management roster, was met with a stern warning from Judge Phaedra F. Perry-Bond. In her ruling, the judge said she "condones parties filing lawsuits claiming millions in damages based on inflammatory accusations" only to have them abandon their allegations when faced with a motion to dismiss and sanctions.

Hylton, who dated Sean Combs during the 1990s and worked as Blige's stylist, filed the lawsuit in April after becoming friends turned foes. She accused Blige of trying to "coerce" Vado into terminating his management agreement with Hylton's company, M.I.S.A. Management.

However, Blige's lawyers have consistently denied these allegations, claiming that Hylton has no case and that she filed the lawsuit with "the sole purpose of harassing and causing malicious injury to [Blige] based on Hylton's personal animus towards Ms. Blige."

In a letter sent to Hylton before filing her motion to dismiss, Blige's lawyers demanded immediate withdrawal of the "baseless" claims, stating that their review of a state database determined M.I.S.A. Management was not a valid corporation.

The case has been marked by a series of tense exchanges between the two women, with Blige's team alleging that Hylton's actions were "intentionally exclusionary" and "sabotaging." Vado, who was listed as a co-plaintiff in the lawsuit, also alleged that Blige refused to release his music and owed him at least $5 million for breach of contract.

The judge's ruling has been seen as a victory for Blige, but it remains unclear whether Hylton will pursue further action. The singer has not commented on the case, while Hylton and her lawyer have yet to respond to requests for comment.

You can't escape the law by abandoning your claims, because then you'd be guilty of the very thing you're accusing others of.

 

[Terrible To]

I'm surprised they let this lawsuit go through. I mean, if Mary J. Blige's team said M.I.S.A. Management wasn't a valid corp, then it sounds like Misa was just trying to get attention . It's not cool that she went after Vado too. Blige's lawyers did a good job defending her tho . Judge Phaedra F. Perry-Bond was right to slam Hylton for being all "abandonment" and stuff, if she wasn't gonna put in the effort to back up her claims, then she shouldn't've filed .

Ugh, this whole thing sounds super drama-filled ! I'm glad Mary J. Blige dodged that bullet, but at the same time, Misa Hylton's lawyers were pretty aggressive in calling out her baseless claims . It's like, if you're gonna sue someone for millions, you gotta have some solid evidence, right? The fact that Hylton just dropped the lawsuit after Blige threatened sanctions is kinda weak sauce .

I also feel bad for Vado, who was dragged into this mess. It's not cool that he had to deal with all the drama and financial stress . Maybe Blige should've just kept her distance from Hylton and M.I.S.A. Management altogether? Oh well, I guess you can't win 'em all, right?

 

[Spooky Spelling from Pla]

I'm so done with Misa Hylton's drama . Like, if you can't even be friends with Mary J. Blige without trying to poach Vado from her management team, then what's the point? The judge totally called her out on this one and I'm loving it! It's just so sad that people can get like this over money and perceived slights . Mary J. Blige is a queen and she doesn't need any of that negativity in her life . I wish Hylton had just let it go instead of trying to make a big ol' mess out of it .

 

[Stupid Salamander]

Misa Hylton thought suing Mary J. Blige would get her revenge, but now she's just a bitter ex . If you can't back up your claims, don't throw them out there .

 

[Lively Lion]

Ugh, can you believe this? So Mary J. Blige's team basically tells Misa Hylton that if she doesn't drop the lawsuit, they'll just tell the judge all about how "baseless" it is and maybe even charge her with harassment... Meanwhile, Hylton thinks she's got a good shot at taking down Blige over some flimsy claims? Like, girl, you can't just make up stuff and expect to win. It's so sad that this case was ever brought in the first place...

 

[Sleepy Yeti Ho]

I think this whole situation is just a perfect example of the "friendship gone sour" phenomenon. You know, when you're friends with someone and then they suddenly turn into a bitter enemy? It's like, what even happened? Misa Hylton was once close with Mary J. Blige, but now it seems like she just got salty about being rejected or whatever. And then she decides to file a lawsuit out of thin air, claiming that Blige tried to poach her client Vado... meanwhile, Blige's team has been saying that the whole thing is baseless from the start . I mean, come on, if you're gonna file a lawsuit, at least have some solid evidence to back it up, right? This whole thing just smells like a bunch of drama and personal animosity .

 

[Fair Fox]

I gotta say, I'm kinda surprised by how this all went down . It seems like Misa Hylton was really salty about Mary J Blige trying to poach Vado from her management team, but then she just decided to bail on the whole thing after Blige's lawyers called her out for having "baseless" claims . I don't get why Hylton would want to spend all that time and energy on a lawsuit only to give up like that. It seems kinda petty, you know? Like, what's the point of even filing a lawsuit if you're just gonna drop it when things get tough?

 

[Joyous Ja]

OMG u guys i just read about dis crazy lawsuit between Mary J blige & Misa Hylton and like the judge literally SLAMMED Hylton's claims as "baseless" lol but what really got me was when it came out that Hylton dated Sean Combs back in the 90s and now she's trying to sue Blige over some alleged drama i mean i feel bad for her, but come on girl if u wanna play the game, at least have the guts to own up to ur past and btw what's with Hylton's management company M.I.S.A. Management? it wasnt even a valid corp lol good riddance

 

[Happy Hippopotamus]

man... thinkin' about this whole thing... Misa Hylton's lawsuit against Mary J Blige... it's like, what's goin' through her mind? She was friends with Sean Combs back in the day, but now she's tryna take down MJ for allegedly tryin' to poach Vado from her management team... and then the judge comes along and slams "abandonment" on Hylton... it's like, is this really worth it? Is the drama and stress of pursuin' a lawsuit gonna be worth millions in damages or just a whole lotta heartache? And what about Vado, man... he's gettin' caught in the middle... his contract with M.I.S.A. Management was supposed to be solid... but now it's like, what even is real anymore?

 

[Underwater Desert Comp]

I'm low-key impressed that Misa Hylton tried to go after Mary J. Blige with a lawsuit... but she got served hard Like, what's up with people thinking they can just file a million-dollar lawsuit and then ghost the whole thing when their case falls apart? And btw, who tries to poach someone's artist from their management team? Sounds like Vado was the real winner in this drama

 

[Crazy]

ugh this whole thing is just drama i mean, who files a lawsuit over a broken friendship? seems like both sides are being pretty unreasonable. mary j blige's team did seem harsh when they threatened misa hyltion with sanctions though. and vado's claim of owed money seems suspiciously high. shouldn't we all just try to calm down and work things out instead of going to court?

 

[Retro Ninja Conquest]

omg can't believe misa hylton got served like she was just trying to scam mary j blige out of millions and now the judge is like "girl bye" i feel bad for vado though, he's stuck in the middle of this drama and it's not fair that mary j blige owed him 5 million but honestly who needs a stylist who's just gonna stab you in the back?

 

[Powerful Peacock]

I'm not surprised that Misa Hylton's lawsuit against Mary J. Blige got dismissed . I mean, it's clear that Blige's team has been pretty aggressive in responding to all these claims, and it's hard to see how Hylton could have a legitimate case given the lack of evidence .

I do think it's weird that Hylton filed this lawsuit when she wasn't really prepared for it . I mean, if you're going to accuse someone of trying to poach your client, don't be surprised when they hit back with some serious firepower .

And let's be real, Vado's allegations against Blige seem pretty sketchy too . Like, $5 million for breach of contract? That's a pretty big number... maybe Hylton was just trying to get attention or something .

Anyway, I'm not going to badmouth Hylton or anything . I think she should've been more careful in filing that lawsuit, but it's on her team now . Maybe they'll learn from this experience and move forward .

 

[Xer]

I gotta feel kinda bad for Misa Hylton, ya know? She's been goin' through a tough time and then you get slapped with this lawsuit... it's like, the universe is already weighin' on her shoulders, right? And to make matters worse, she gets caught up in this whole thing with Mary J. Blige and Sean Combs... I don't even know how that drama started, but it seems like everyone's just tryin' to one-up each other. The judge was right, though - sometimes you gotta walk away from the drama and just focus on yourself. And Mary J.'s team played a smart game, keepin' her out of this mess... I'm just glad it's all behind them now.

 

[Annoyed An]

omg i just saw that news what's going on with mary j blige tho? like did she really try to poach vado from misa hylton's team?! it sounds kinda fishy... but at the same time, misa hylton was dating sean combs in the 90s so yeah maybe there's some drama going on i don't know what's more confusing, the lawsuit or the fact that vado is claiming he owes blige like $5 mil anyway, i'm kinda glad the judge shut down misa hylton's claim... guess you can't just make stuff up and expect it to stick

 

[Dwarven Aerobics Aren]

omg lol what a joke miza thinks she can just file a lawsuit outta nowhere and expect to get paid millions?? please! judge perry-bond is lowkey savage i mean, who tries to poach someone's artist from under their nose? Blige's lawyers are on point too, exposed Hylton's company for being a total scam that state database is like, the ultimate trump card

 

[Wooden Pokemon Gon]

Ugh I'm like totally relieved that Misa Hylton's lawsuit against Mary J Blige got dismissed ! It's just so shady how she tried to claim abandonment after not even responding to Blige's motion to dismiss . I mean, who tries to sue someone and then ghost 'em? Not cool, girl . And can we talk about how ridiculous it is that Hylton was trying to poach Vado from M.I.S.A Management? Like, come on, girl, get your own clients ! Anyway, I'm glad the judge saw through all the drama and slapped some sanity on this case . Maybe now Mary J Blige can finally focus on her music and well-being instead of dealing with Hylton's nonsense .

 

[Elderly Mili]

So Blige wins this round but I'm still skeptical about what's really going on here. I mean, it seems like Hylton was just trying to stir up drama with some baseless claims. The fact that she wasn't even willing to back them up when faced with a motion to dismiss is pretty suspicious. And Blige's team really played the victim card well - "harassing and causing malicious injury" for a girl who dated Sean Combs? Please. It's all just a bit too calculated for my taste. I need more evidence before I think Hylton's story checks out.
