Nelly and his longtime girlfriend Shantel Jackson hit the LA streets for date night amid his sexual assault case. Get into the latest developments in the case inside...
Nelly and Shantel Jackson are seemingly unbothered amid the sexual assault drama that's going on.
The "Hot In Herre" rapper and his longtime girlfriend Miss Jackson were spotted arriving at The Nice Guy bar in West Hollywood for a night out on the town together.
They need some down time to enjoy themselves after everything that's going on in court.
Last year, a woman came forward to reveal the “Country Grammar” rapper sexually assaulted her while he was on tour, following similar claims made by another woman named Monique Greene. You'll recall, she said Nelly raped her on his tour bus in Seattle after his concert, but he denied those claims. Eventually, Nelly and Monique "mutually settled" the case.
As for the other case...
The St. Louis native (real name Cornell Haynes Jr.) is being investigated by Essex Police after a woman (who has remained anonymous) came forward with sexual assault accusations aimed at the rapper. She told police Nelly sexually assaulted her on December 5, 2017, after his show at Cliffs Pavilion in Essex. She claims after going backstage to meet him, he whipped out his penis, masturbated in front of her, and then allegedly forced his penis into her mouth.
Nelly is fully cooperating with police in hopes of clearing his name. It's reported he flew out to the UK to meet with cops about the investigation.
"Nelly flew to the UK on his own volition last week to work with the police in assisting their investigation to clear his name completely," said Nelly's rep.
Also, Nelly demands the woman to reveal her identity, and if she doesn't, he wants the case thrown out.
According to The Blast:
On January 24, Nelly filed court docs seeking for a Missouri sexual assault lawsuit to be dismissed stating, “Without first petitioning the Court to do so, Plaintiff filed her complaint anonymously, standing behind that anonymity as she makes serious allegations that the Complaint makes clear that she is aware will receive public attention.”
The “Country Grammar” rapper claims the “Jane Doe” has previously leveled similar allegations in connection with other legal proceedings, and the hip-hop star believes the woman should not be allowed to avoid public scrutiny by hiding “behind a cloak of anonymity.”
In addition, the woman is also suing Nelly's girlfriend Shantel Jackson for defamation after comments she posted on social media. Sheesh.
