Rutgers Player Sues Imus, Wants Unspecified Damages After Dis

Claiming that Don Imus' sexist and racist comments on April 4 about the Rutgers Women's Basketball Team damaged her reputation, the bad sistah at center is suing Don Imus and CBS.
Kia Vaughn filed a lawsuit on Tuesday alleging slander and defamation of character in state Supreme Court in the Bronx the same day Imus settled with CBS Radio in a deal that pre-empts his threatened $120 million breach-of-contract lawsuit against CBS.
The settlement allows him to make a comeback bid at a new station, a comeback Reverend Al Sharpton has already co-signed on. For Jesse Jackson, the verdict is still out.
Vaughn’s lawsuit, believed to be the first by a player in the case, says Imus and his former co-host Bernard McGuirk, along with CBS Corp. and CBS Radio, are legally responsible for damage done to her character and reputation.
Although there is no dollar amount listed in the suit, we hope homegirl gets as much KA-CHING as she possibly can!
Imus certainly isn't hurting for cash, and but for his ignorant-ass comments, we wouldn't even be talking about this. Kia, You Go Grrrl!
