Superproducer Metro Boomin has been found not liable in a civil sexual assault case stemming from allegations made by Vanessa LeMaistre. The lawsuit, which centered around an alleged 2016 incident during a studio session, claimed that Metro drugged and sexually assaulted her; allegations he has consistently denied.
LeMaistre filed the civil suit years after the alleged encounter, but no criminal charges were ever brought forward. Throughout the trial, Metro's legal team argued the claims were "completely unfounded" and "nothing more than an attempt to damage his reputation and career."
After reviewing the evidence, the court sided with Metro Boomin, clearing him of all liability in the case.
