FIRST AMENDED COMPLAINT
In this complex and multifaceted case, the plaintiff brings forth a claim that spans over three decades, alleging a series of legal violations that have caused significant harm and distress. The plaintiff alleges that the defendant has engaged in a pattern of behavior that includes stalking, as defined by 720 ILCS 5/12-7.4, and harassment, as outlined in 720 ILCS 5/26.5-3. The plaintiff further contends that the defendant has demonstrated a clear intent to cause harm, a violation of 720 ILCS 5/7-8. The plaintiff also alleges that the defendant has willfully and intentionally inflicted mental and emotional distress, a violation of 740 ILCS 21/10. The plaintiff claims to have been the recipient of death threats, a serious violation of 720 ILCS 5/8-1. In addition to these allegations, the plaintiff accuses the defendant of defamation of character and slander, as defined by 740 ILCS 145. Beyond these violations, the plaintiff seeks compensation for child support arrears and palimony, both associated with a relationship that has lasted since 1987.
This case represents a serious and long-standing pattern of alleged abuse and violation of the plaintiff's rights. The plaintiff's claims, if substantiated, represent a significant breach of trust and violation of personal rights, warranting serious consideration and potential legal consequences. The court is tasked with the responsibility of carefully examining the evidence presented, considering the long duration of the alleged violations, and determining the appropriate legal and financial remedies for the plaintiff.
Plaintiff's allegations paint a picture of a prolonged and relentless campaign of abuse and intimidation, which has caused significant harm and distress.
Plaintiff seeks redress for these alleged violations, asserting that the defendant's actions have caused significant harm and distress. The tone of the plaintiff's claim is one of grave seriousness, reflecting the severity of the alleged violations and the profound impact they have had on the plaintiff's life.
Plaintiff's claim arises from an extensive history spanning over 30 years, involving domestic violence, stalking, harassment, and threats of harm perpetrated by the defendant(s) and/or their family members and associates.
From 1987 to the present, the plaintiff has been subjected to continuous and escalating patterns of abusive behavior that have caused significant emotional, physical, and psychological harm. The harassment and stalking have been persistent, invasive, and have severely impacted the plaintiff's quality of life, safety, and well-being. These actions have resulted in substantial distress, trauma, and significant life disruptions, including the loss of employment and housing.
Most tragically, the plaintiff's son, Devonte Pippen, was murdered on January 19, 2012. This devastating loss is a direct consequence of the defendant(s)' actions and has caused irreparable damage to the plaintiff's life.
Plaintiff seeks appropriate legal remedies to address the ongoing abuse, prevent further harm, and seek justice for the loss of her son. This includes but is not limited to compensatory and punitive damages, restraining orders, and any other relief deemed necessary by the court to ensure the plaintiff's protection and to hold the defendant(s) accountable for their actions.

Plaintiff has presented a case, citing that the defendant has engaged in a pattern of behavior that is both alarming and unlawful.
Plaintiff alleges that the defendant has been involved in stalking, as defined by 720 ILCS 5/12-7.4, a statute that clearly outlines the parameters of such behavior. This includes following the plaintiff, appearing at her home or place of work without consent, and making unwanted contact through various means.
Plaintiff further contends that the defendant has not only stalked her but has also engaged in harassment, as outlined in 720 ILCS 5/26.5-3. This includes a series of actions intended to alarm, annoy, or torment the plaintiff, causing her to fear for her safety.
Plaintiff's asserts that the defendant has demonstrated a clear intent to cause her harm, a serious violation of 720 ILCS 5/7-8. This intent, she claims, is evident in the defendant's actions and threats, which have escalated in severity over time.
Plaintiff also alleges that the defendant has willfully and
intentionally inflicted mental and emotional distress upon her, a violation of
740 ILCS 21/10. This distress, she claims, has been caused by the defendant's
relentless and malicious actions, which have left her in a state of constant
fear and anxiety.
Perhaps
most disturbingly, the plaintiff claims to have been the recipient of death
threats from the defendant, a serious violation of 720 ILCS 5/8-1. These
threats, she alleges, have been explicit and unequivocal, leaving her in no
doubt as to the defendant's intentions.
Plaintiff's allegations, when proven, paint a picture of a defendant who has engaged in a pattern of behavior that is not only deeply troubling but also clearly in violation of several statutes. The court must now consider the evidence presented and determine whether the defendant's actions constitute the violations alleged by the plaintiff. The tone of these proceedings must remain professional, as we navigate the serious and distressing allegations brought forth by the plaintiff.
Plaintiff alleges that Scottie Pippen, a renowned figure in the sports world, has utilized his considerable resources to engage in a campaign of stalking, harassment, and intimidation. This has reportedly resulted in significant mental, emotional, and financial distress for the plaintiff and their family. The scope of this alleged harassment extends beyond the plaintiff, encompassing a wider circle of individuals. This includes the plaintiff's children, family members, mutual friends, and other individuals who are either directly or indirectly connected to the plaintiff. Notable figures such as Earvin "Magic" Johnson, Lisa McCoy, Congressman Danny K Davis, Dr. Theressia Washington, and Dr. Patricia Favia have been implicated in this alleged harassment.
Plaintiff asserts that these individuals have been targeted as part of Pippen's alleged efforts to conceal and cover up the birth, life, and/or existence of a child.
Plaintiff's allegations, when proven, would constitute a serious breach of personal boundaries and a gross misuse of power and influence. It is essential that these allegations are thoroughly investigated to ensure that justice is served and that the rights and well-being of all involved parties are protected. The tone of these allegations is grave, and the implications are far-reaching, underscoring the need for a comprehensive and impartial examination of the facts.
