Rutgers Player Withdraws Imus Lawsuit
Wednesday, September 12, 2007
NEW YORK — A Rutgers University basketball player on Tuesday withdrew a slander and defamation lawsuit she had filed against Don Imus and CBS Radio, among others, after the shock jock called the team "nappy headed hos."
Kia Vaughn had contended in the lawsuit filed in August in New York state Supreme Court that the comments made by Imus had damaged her reputation. The lawsuit also named various media outlets that broadcast Imus' show.
Marti McKenzie, a spokeswoman for Vaughn's attorney, Richard Ancowitz, said in a statement that Vaughn had chosen to focus on her education at New Jersey's Rutgers University as a journalism major and as an athlete with the basketball team.
"Her strong commitments to both have influenced her decision to withdraw the lawsuit at this time," the statement said.
A lawyer for Imus, Martin Garbus, said his client had paid no money to Vaughn. CBS Radio did not immediately return a message requesting comment.

Smart decision on her part. That was ridiculous anyway. Glad someone talked some sense into her.

She actually had a very good chance of winning, unless she was actually a prostitute and/or very promiscuous, but the lawsuit was a bad idea. Better for her to just finish school and get on with her life.
