Rutgers Basketball Player Sues Imus and CBS Radio, Alleging Defamation of Character

NEW YORK (AP) -A member of the Rutgers women's basketball team sued Don Imus and CBS on Tuesday, claiming the radio personality's sexist and racist comments about the team damaged her reputation.

Kia Vaughn filed the lawsuit 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.

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. There is no dollar amount listed in the suit.

Vaughn was humiliated, embarrassed and publicly mocked for the comments, the lawsuit claims. Her attorney, Richard Ancowitz, said: "The full effect of the damage remains to be seen."

"This is about Kia Vaughn's good name," Ancowitz said. "She would do anything to return to her life as a student and respected basketball player - a more simple life before Imus opened his mouth on April 4."

Imus referred to the basketball players as "nappy-headed hos" on his nationally syndicated radio program in April, becoming the target of heated protests. He was fired shortly after.

'Ho' is a slang term for a prostitute. After the comments were made, Vaughn said at a news conference: "Unless they've given 'ho' a whole new definition, that's not what I am."

A telephone message left for Imus' attorney was not immediately returned Tuesday. There was no phone listing for McGuirk in the New York area. A spokeswoman for CBS Radio declined to comment, and CBS network spokesman Dana McClintock did not immediately return a message. MSNBC said it hadn't seen the lawsuit.

Rutgers women's basketball program spokeswoman Stacey Brann said that the university had no comment on the lawsuit and that she didn't know whether other players had sued.

Vaughn, who was a center, had spoken out about Imus on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" in April. She said that the comments overshadowed her team's amazing season, one the coach has called the most rewarding of her career.

"Our moment was stolen from us," Vaughn said then. "Instead of us coming here to enjoy what we accomplished and how far we came, we had to sit back and look at media asking questions about what he said."

Dude, not for nothing but you cried like a baby when people said Cindy Sheehan was ugly. You said it didn't matter what she looked like. Now you make fun of the way this girl looks? You were all high and mighty before about not judging one by their looks.

Why doesn't that dumb bitch sue 50 cent?

[marinesgt]

All the is doing is trying to keep her name in lights..just to keep her 15 minutes of infamy going. pretty soon one of these chicks is going to write a book on the whole ordeal.These wildabeast bitches think that their reputation is ruined so they will whine and bitch to whoever listens to them. She won't go through with the lawsuit just for the simple fact Imus has way more money and better lawyers than this chick will ever be able to afford. So this will all fizzle out just like their lame ass basketball team. Seriously when has anyone ever associated Rutgers with winning anything? And in 5 years is anyone really going to remember their winning season?

Dude, not for nothing but Cindy Sheehan's looks had nothing to do with her losing her son or her being used by the Democrats. The only reason it was brought up was because Mr. Hate thought it was funny to make fun of the looks of a grieving middle aged woman.

The looks of this she beast are the whole point. Imus criticized her looks not anything else. Get the difference genius? If this she beast had lost her son in Iraq I wouldn't have said anything about her being a nappy headed she beast. 

Do a little critical thinking before spouting off Einstein.
