Derrick Rose faced allegations lawsuit
Ex-girlfriend of Derrick Rose and tow of his friends gang-raped in 2013. Chicago Bulls point guard Derrick Rose has filed a lawsuit against the NBA player, claiming that they drugged and gang-raped
A representative for Rose said Thursday the allegations are “completely false and without any factual basis,” and called the lawsuit “a desperate attempt to shake down a highly respected and successful athlete.” according to the lawsuit, Rose and his two friends went to the woman’s apartment early the next morning, entered through an unlocked door and took turns raping her. When she came to later, she didn’t call police, the suit explained, because she was “ashamed and embarrassed by what had happened to her” and she didn’t want her conservative family to find out.
Rose, who comes in at No. 20 on Forbes’ list of the world’s highest paid athletes, signed a $95 million contract with the Bulls in 2011 and was named the NBA’s most valuable player the same year. Injuries forced him to miss about half of the 2011-2012 season and most of the 2013-2014 season, but he came back to average almost 18 points per game in the 2014-2015 season.
