LOS ANGELES — Veteran male talent Jessy Jones has filed a $2 million defamation lawsuit against performer MJ Fresh, her agency and her agent, Hussie Models owner Riley Reynolds, over an alleged incident after a content shoot last December.
The 10-page complaint was filed yesterday in Los Angeles by Jones’ attorney, Reza Sina of Burbank’s Sina Law Group.
Jones alleges that Fresh and Reynolds contacted him “as a favor, to do a free shoot” in early December 2021, in an effort “to boost their presence in the adult entertainment world, especially after MJ Fresh’s recent hiatus from the industry.”
The lawsuit claims that “what transpired after [the shoot] can only be characterized as one of the most disturbing character assassinations in history,” and details what Jones and his attorney call “a laundry list of lies and misrepresentations” which they claim falsely allege that Jones raped Fresh.
A few days after the shoot, Jones alleges, Fresh began what he calls “a campaign of threats and false allegations of rape” via Twitter, which he accuses Hussie and Reynolds of “ratifying.”
Jones also cites a Jan. 18 video by Fresh allegedly accusing him “of rape, numerous lies and other unlawful conduct.”
The following day, Jones alleges, “Reynolds and his agency, Hussie Models, ratified MJ Fresh’s conduct by blocking [Jones] to thwart [his] attempts at contacting them.”
Moreover, Jones alleges that “reckless and intentional conduct” by Fresh, Hussie Models and Reynolds has caused him “to lose many lucrative contracts and relationships.”
Jones alleges he “has suffered substantial damages, including economic harm (past and future income), severe emotional distress, humiliation, anxiety, worriedness and loss of sleep, all in in an amount to be determined at trial, but believed to be in excess of $2,000,000.”
