Music Exec Kevin Liles Says Sexual Assault Lawsuit Is ‘Patently False’ and Must Be Dismissed


Kevin Liles is asking a judge to throw out a lawsuit accusing him of sexual assault in the early 2000s, calling it “entirely false.”

Record executive Kevin Liles is asking a federal judge to throw out a lawsuit accusing him of sexual assault in the early 2000s, arguing there’s zero evidence for the “salacious” allegations because they are “entirely false.” The label, which quickly gained recognition for developing hip-hop superstars like Megan Thee Stallion, Migos and Young Thug, was acquired by Warner in 2021 for $400 million. “Kevin Liles proceeded to physically force himself on top of [Jane Doe] where he began to sexually assault and ultimately rape her despite her continued protests,” her attorneys wrote in their complaint.
