Hannah Hightower, the mother of former Power 105.1 "Star & Bucwild Morning Show" host Star has filed a multi-million dollar defamation lawsuit against the owners of Hot 97 for comments made about her by radio host Miss Jones.
According to The NY Post the lawsuit against Hot 97 owner Emmis Radio was filed yesterday in Manhattan federal court. The $11 million suit claims Hightower was defamed during a tirade Miss Jones made against her son Star, whose real name is Troi Torain, who was a DJ at rival station Power 105.1 at that time. Jones is quoted in the lawsuit as saying, "Your white mom was nothing but a prostitute that your dad turned out," and "got knocked up by the blackest, blackest, blackest n****r."
Hightower's lawsuit is not the only court case related to the on-air battle between Hot 97 and Power 105.1 morning show hosts. Yesterday Torain filed a $55 million defamation lawsuit against Queens city councilman John Liu, for comments Liu made about him in May at a press conference Liu helped organize to call for Star's termination from Power 105.1.
Torain is also facing a separate lawsuit filed by former morning show co-host Keysha Whitaker, who was known on the show as Prozac Girl.
