$40 MILLION FINAL OFFERDoes anyone else need a #VACATION
My alternative plan stands if the #Vegas offer fails (repost from 1/21/2025)
Final Answer... "See Me Serving Drinks"? SCRUB ISLAND
I hope this message finds you well. Allow me to begin with a brief personal reflection. I used to dream of cooking “soul food,” food for the soul, but now my vision has shifted. Now, I dream of finding an island, escaping the chaos of the world, and creating something meaningful a place to build and to heal.
The one thing I admire most about you is your unparalleled business mind. It’s your insight, creativity, and expertise that have led to your incredible success, which is why I consider myself fortunate to be your mentee. With that being said, I have a vision I’d like to share with you, one I believe aligns with your legacy in hospitality and real estate.
Enter Scrub Island a stunning 230-acre private island located in the British Virgin Islands. It's a place I’d like to transform into the next great investment. The island is currently on the market, and I truly believe it has incredible potential, not only as a luxury retreat but as a sanctuary for specialized treatments. Think of it as Fantasy Island but with a unique twist.
The property includes a Marriott-branded hotel (Paris I need a HILTON buyout) and plenty of opportunities for growth. After some minor renovations, Scrub Island could be the perfect luxury destination.
My vision for the island is twofold: to offer year-round excitement and entertainment, while also providing a private sanctuary for people with HIV and AIDS, offering treatments that are not available in the United States. It’s a chance to create something both lucrative and meaningful.
At an asking price of $40 million with the potential to secure an even better ROI than a single-family home, the deal is certainly appealing. I’d love to bring you on as an investor your expertise in the hospitality industry could take this project to a level of success beyond what I could accomplish alone.
I believe that the private residence at Scrub Island could be ideal for timeshare opportunities, catering to corporate clients who seek an exclusive, all-inclusive getaway. Here are some links for you to explore the full scope of this opportunity:
- Scrub Island Official Site
- Real Estate Details – Long View Residence
- Scrub Island Real Estate Information
I’m confident that Scrub Island offers a unique opportunity for expansion, and the ROI could be substantial, especially given the Marriott (Hilton) affiliation.
As for the business side of things, I am ready to make my official offer of $40 million pending seller-assisted financing within 90 days.
Please find attached the following documents for your review:
- Sunday’s Business Plan – a detailed plan I developed from my Vegas project.
- Pitch from Chicago – an outline of my vision and business plan.
- Business Structure Outline – a more formal breakdown of my approach and strategy.
- Letter of Intent – my formal offer for the property.
Once the deal is finalized, I would like to assume responsibility for the property and its operations, taking the time to become familiar with all aspects of the property and the surrounding area.
I understand that times are uncertain, but I have faith that this opportunity could lead to something extraordinary. As always, I remain confident in God's plan, and I trust that you will find this venture as exciting as I do. Whether or not you continue with your political pursuits, I know you will continue to be successful, and I hope this project becomes part of your next great chapter.
I look forward to hearing your thoughts and hopefully embarking on this exciting venture together.
Warm regards
AMEND TO $400 MILLION
IN THE CIRCUIT COURT OF COOK COUNTY, ILLINOIS
COUNTY DEPARTMENT, LAW DIVISION
CHYVETTE A. VALENTINE,
Plaintiff,
v.
SCOTTIE PIPPEN, LARSA PIPPEN, CARL PIPPEN, JASON GILLER, et al.,
Defendants.
Case No.: 2024L002166
Courtroom: 2209
Judge: Hon. Maire Aileen Dempsey
PLAINTIFF’S MOTION TO AMEND COMPLAINT TO INCREASE DAMAGES TO $400 MILLION AND SUPPLEMENT FACTUAL ALLEGATIONS
NOW COMES the Plaintiff, Chyvette A. Valentine, pro se, and respectfully moves this Honorable Court pursuant to 735 ILCS 5/2-616 to amend her Complaint to increase the prayer for relief to $400 million and to supplement the factual allegations supporting the amended amount, and in support thereof states as follows:
- Plaintiff originally filed the above-captioned complaint alleging long-standing patterns of harassment, stalking, defamation, emotional distress, employment interference, and other actionable misconduct by the named Defendants.
- Since the original filing and subsequent proceedings, Plaintiff has experienced escalating threats, stalking, and emotional trauma, including physical proximity by Defendants and their agents in a continuing campaign to intimidate, silence, and cause her harm.
- On June 30, 2025, Plaintiff submitted written correspondence to Chief Judge Timothy C. Evans regarding the ongoing harassment, stalking, and credible threats to her safety. This letter specifically identified collusion involving Congressman Danny K. Davis, Congressman Jonathan Jackson, and Governor J.B. Pritzker, alleging active cover-up and conspiracy to harm Plaintiff and interfere with legal redress.
- On July 22, 2025, Plaintiff publicly posted an official legal update and notice regarding the case, tagging the Dirksen Federal Building as the location for public awareness and lawful notice under the circumstances.
- On July 23, 2025, the Dirksen Federal Building was placed on lockdown following a knife-wielding incident. While Plaintiff is not responsible for this event, the timing and context are concerning and should be noted by this Court in relation to the public notice issued the day prior.
- On July 25, 2025, Plaintiff's local postal facility was reportedly set on fire, further evidencing the heightened danger and potential retaliatory efforts aimed at silencing Plaintiff and obstructing her communications.
- During this time, Larsa Pippen was publicly documented as attending the Beyoncé Cowboy Tour in Las Vegas, based on social media videos and TikTok excerpts, suggesting her presence in proximity to Plaintiff.
- On August 7, 2025, Defendants or individuals believed to be acting at their direction were sighted near Plaintiff’s current temporary residence, escalating her fear and concern for her personal safety.
- In the same manner and pattern of behavior previously exhibited, the Defendants have continued their harassment at Plaintiff’s place(s) of employment, using identical tactics to stalk, intimidate, and force separation. Notably, Defendants appeared in person at her place of employment at Applebee’s in Gulfport, Mississippi, creating a hostile and unsafe work environment that directly forced her termination. This incident is consistent with their established and documented pattern of interfering with Plaintiff’s employment and personal stability.
- Defendants have recruited fans and/or agents to apply for positions at Plaintiff’s workplace at “Hilton Grand Vacations” with the intent to stalk, harass, and gather intelligence, placing not only the Plaintiff but also her co-workers in jeopardy.
- Plaintiff has also learned that Congressman Danny Davis, who was repeatedly identified in her filings and communications, has publicly announced retirement, which Plaintiff asserts is directly tied to his role in this matter.
- Due to the wrongful dismissal of this case, Plaintiff and her family have suffered immense emotional, mental, and physical distress and remain under continuous threat.
- The wrongful dismissal, failure to grant a protective order, and refusal to address Plaintiff’s safety concerns are seen as part of a deliberate effort to cause her harm, suppress her claims, or lead to her demise.
- Plaintiff respectfully requests that this Court grant leave to amend the complaint to:
a. Increase the damages sought to $400 million to reflect the continued and aggravated harm;
- Supplement the complaint with newly developed facts post-filing to support her claims;
- Reconsider and reinstate this matter to ensure Plaintiff’s rights to due process and equal protection are upheld.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff respectfully prays that this Honorable Court:
A. Grant leave to file the Amended Complaint reflecting the updated damage claim of $400 million;
B. Accept and consider the supplemental allegations supporting ongoing endangerment, collusion, and conspiracy;
C. Reinstate the matter for adjudication on the merits;
D. Grant any and all other relief this Court deems just and proper.
Respectfully submitted,
/s/ CHYVETTE A. VALENTINE

1. NATURE OF THE CASE
1.1 This case arises from Plaintiff–Appellant’s civil action against Defendants–Appellees for various claims properly filed in the Circuit Court of Cook County.
1.2 All Defendants were duly served between October and December 2024. Defendants failed to appear or plead within the time required by law.
1.3 Plaintiff filed a Motion for Default Judgment and Prove-Up, which was set for hearing before the assigned judge, Hon. Maire Dempsey, on May 22, 2025.
1.4 Before that scheduled hearing, Judge Kathy M. Flanagan, who was not the assigned judge, dismissed the matter for want of prosecution on May 2, 2025. On June 16, 2025, Judge Flanagan also entered an order striking all future appearances.
1.5 Plaintiff appeals from those orders, contending that the trial court erred in dismissing the action and in failing to enter default judgment against Defendants.
2. ISSUES PRESENTED FOR REVIEW
2.1 Whether the trial court erred in dismissing the action for want of prosecution where Defendants had been duly served, failed to appear, and Plaintiff’s Motion for Default Judgment was pending.
2.2 Whether the appearance entered on May 2, 2025, without compliance with Illinois Supreme Court Rule 13(c)(1), was a legal nullity.
2.3 Whether the dismissal orders entered by Judge Flanagan, without notice, hearing, or authority as the assigned judge, violated due process under the Illinois Constitution and the Fourteenth Amendment.
3. STATEMENT OF JURISDICTION
3.1 The trial court entered its dismissal order on May 2, 2025, and a subsequent order on June 16, 2025.
3.2 Both orders disposed of Plaintiff’s claims, making them final and appealable.
3.3 Plaintiff timely filed her Notice of Appeal pursuant to Illinois Supreme Court Rules 301 and 303(a).
3.4 This Court has jurisdiction under Article VI, § 6 of the Illinois Constitution and Rule 301.
4. STATUTES (LAWS) INVOLVED
- 735 ILCS 5/2-1301(d) (default judgments)
- 735 ILCS 5/2-203 (service of summons)
- 735 ILCS 5/1-109 (verification and perjury provision)
- Illinois Supreme Court Rule 181(a) (time to appear or plead)
- Illinois Supreme Court Rule 13(c)(1) (written appearance requirement)
- Illinois Supreme Court Rules 301, 303, 341 (appellate procedure)
- 50 U.S.C. § 3931(b)(1) (Servicemembers Civil Relief Act)
5. STATEMENT OF FACTS
5.1 Between October and December 2024, all Defendants were served in compliance with Illinois law.
5.2 Defendants failed to file appearances or responsive pleadings within the thirty-day period required under Supreme Court Rule 181(a).
5.3 Plaintiff filed Proof of Service on April 4, 2025.
5.4 On May 2, 2025, Judge Kathy M. Flanagan (not the assigned judge) dismissed the case for want of prosecution, even though Plaintiff’s Motion for Default Judgment and Prove-Up was scheduled before Judge Maire Dempsey on May 22, 2025.
5.5 On June 16, 2025, Judge Flanagan entered another order striking all future appearances without notice, motion, or hearing.
5.6 Plaintiff filed a timely Notice of Appeal.
6. STANDARD OF REVIEW
6.1 Orders dismissing a case for want of prosecution and rulings concerning default judgment are reviewed de novo when they raise legal issues, and for abuse of discretion when judicial discretion is involved. Seymour v. Collins, 2015 IL 118432, ¶ 36.
7. POINTS AND AUTHORITIES FOR ARGUMENT
A. Default Judgment Was Warranted
- Authority: 735 ILCS 5/2-1301(d); Vision Point of Sale, Inc. v. Haas, 226 Ill. 2d 334 (2007); Bank of N.Y. Mellon v. Karbowski, 2014 IL App (1st) 130112.
- Argument: Defendants failed to appear or plead after proper service. Under Illinois law, this failure warrants default judgment, with all well-pled allegations deemed admitted. The trial court erred in dismissing rather than entering default.
B. Defendants’ Appearance Was Defective
- Authority: Ill. Sup. Ct. R. 13(c)(1); Seymour v. Collins, 2015 IL 118432.
- Argument: No written appearance was filed as required by Rule 13(c)(1). Any oral or informal appearance was a nullity. The trial court improperly treated Defendants as having appeared.
C. The DWP Orders Violated Due Process
- Authority: People ex rel. Reid v. Adkins, 48 Ill. App. 3d 598 (1st Dist. 1977); Illinois Const. art. I, § 2; U.S. Const. amend. XIV.
- Argument: Judge Flanagan was not the assigned judge and lacked authority to dismiss the case. The dismissals were entered without notice, hearing, or opportunity to be heard, violating Plaintiff’s rights to due process.
8. CONCLUSION & PRAYER FOR RELIEF
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff–Appellant respectfully requests that this Court:
- Reverse the May 2, 2025, dismissal for want of prosecution.
- Vacate June 16, 2025, order striking future appearances.
- Remand with instructions to reinstate the case and proceed with Plaintiff’s Motion for Default Judgment and Prove-Up.
- Declare the May 2 and June 16 orders void ab initio; and
- Grant such further relief as justice may require.
