EXCLUSIVE The-Dream claims former protégé accuser sent racy text messages as she pursued him for sex in explosive court papers READ MORE: The-Dream blasts rape allegations from former protegee By Greg Woodfield For Dailymail.com Published: 00:28, 17 August 2024 | Updated: 00:38, 17 August 2024 e-mail View comments Hitmaker The-Dream has returned fire at the female former protégée accusing him in a lawsuit of rape, sexual assault and sex trafficking – with his own startling allegations against the singer. The music producer, real name Terius Gesteelde-Diamant, is accused of trapping Chanaaz Mangroe in an abusive relationship where he subjected her to 'violent sexual acts and vicious psychological torture', according to paperwork filed today in US District Court in Central California .
But lawyers for 46-year-old The-Dream, who has penned hits for Beyonce and Rihanna , filed Friday to have the case thrown out in explosive court documents. The music legend accuses Dutch-born Mangroe of chasing him for sex, even shortly after they met when she pointed to his genitals and asked 'do you need help with that?' according to the motion. Attorneys for The-Dream also blasted her lawsuit against him as a financial shake-down to 'extract a settlement' against a 'highly-respected Black musician in the arts industry'.
They assert it contains '300 paragraphs of largely irrelevant, inaccurate and intentionally out-of-context allegations' and 'weaponizes destructive racial stereotypes.
