Makeup Artist Files $25 Million Rape Lawsuit Against Snoop
An Emmy Award winning makeup artist has filed a lawsuit against Snoop Dogg, claiming the multi-platinum rapper and several associates raped her following a January 2003 taping of ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live.”
According to the lawsuit, Bell “applied and removed makeup for Snoop from January 28-30, in Snoop’s dressing room in the El Capitan Theater."
Bell charges that Snoop and four others sexually assaulted her and is seeking $25 million in damages and has named Snoop Dogg, ABC, Jimmy Kimmel’s show and the Walt Disney Company as defendants.
Bell, who won an Emmy Award in 2002 for her work on HBO’s popular series “Six Feet Under,” claims that she was incapacitated after drinking what she was told was champagne in Snoop’s dressing room.
According to the lawsuit, she says the network is responsible for the rape, claming Snoop’s dressing room was stocked with large quantities of champagne and marijuana.
Bell also claims she witnessed the rapper snorting cocaine on the final night he co-hosted a show with Kimmel.
Bell claims family members advised her not to report the incident, due to Snoop’s alleged gang affiliations.
According to the complaint, Bell informed representatives at Kimmel’s show and ABC started paying her living expenses.
After those payments ceased, she received payments from Snoop directly, while their respective attorney’s attempted to negotiate a settlement.
She alleges that she needed a therapist and psychiatrist and in September of 2003, had to visit a psychiatric hospital.
In December, Snoop filed a lawsuit against the woman and her legal team, claiming they attempted to extort $5 million from the rapper in exchange for concealing the alleged assault.
Snoop, born Calvin Broadus, maintained that he played no part in the alleged assault and has sued for punitive damages and prevention of future threats.
