Dwight Howard has decided to dismiss his lawsuit against an alleged former male lover ahead of an impending trial accusing him of sexual assault against another man.
Fans were shocked when Howard admitted to the threesome and claimed it was consensual and not sexual assault. Harper claims the same Kitty told him, “Someone will put a bullet in his head” if he opened his mouth about the alleged threesome, according to court documents.
With Howard dismissing his countersuit against Elije, Howard’s lawyers say there is no relation to the ongoing case with Harper.
“Yes, Mr. Howard’s attorneys filed a dismissal with the court, so that case is now closed,” Elije’s lawyers Olga Izmaylova and Sadeer Sabbak said in a statement.
“I don’t want to speculate on what Mr. Howard is thinking but I will say that his claims in the [Elije] matter and his defenses in the Harper matter are inconsistent with one another.”
Harper accuses Howard of forcibly performing a sexual act on him without consent. Howard denies the claims and says the tryst was consensual, and Harper only filed the complaint after the ball player cut off communication with him.
