Kevin Liles Accuses Lady Luck Of $30M Extortion Attempt
300 ENTERTAINMENT Co-founder/former DEF JAM Pres. KEVIN LILES has accused LADY LUCK of attempting to extort $30 million in exchange for blocking the release of sexual misconduct allegations in her upcoming book.
He has alleged that attorneys for LADY LUCK, whose real name is SHANELL JONES, contacted him with the demand. According to him, she plans to accuse him of “grooming” her and attempting to force her to perform oral sex during her time at DEF JAM.
LILES said, “None of this ever happened. Her threatened allegations are totally false… Rather than pay her and her legal team, I am publicly addressing what I view to be an extortion attempt.”
He continued, “Regardless of my empathy for MS. JONES, I will not be extorted… I will meet these false allegations (and any frivolous lawsuit filed against me) with all of the tools that the law provides.”
LILES has posted a website, “LADY LUCK’S OWN WORDS,” which features past praise from JONES and social media comments that he says contradict her claims.
