A woman has sued acclaimed record producer Metro Boomin for alleged sexual battery that resulted in pregnancy.
American super record producer Metro Boomin has been accused of sexually assaulting a woman in 2016, leading to an alleged pregnancy, according to a new lawsuit. As per details of the complaint reviewed by TMZ, a woman named Vanessa LeMaistre filed the suit against the Grammy-winning songwriter on Tuesday, October 29.
The purported victim claims to have placed her trust in the producer known for creating Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse soundtrack before the alleged incident unfolded at his studio. LeMaistre and Metro reportedly grew closer during a Las Vegas trip in 2016, following her 9-month-old sonโs death. Thereafter, the plaintiff is said to have slipped into depression. However, she again connected with Metro at his Los Angeles studio, where the producer invited her after they first crossed paths. Her suit further underlines that she caught the accused abusing codeine as she arrived at the destination. Metroโs friends had supposedly warned him against it.

Meanwhile, Vanessa herself consumed half a Xanax pill with a shot of alcohol as a cover to cope with her sonโs tragic passing. Court documents establish her side of the story, suggesting she blacked out on the couch after that. Breaking out from her slumber, LeMaistre found Metro allegedly on top, raping her and performing oral sex on her. Consequently, she passed out again. Once she finally regained consciousness, the American producer told her that they were in a Beverly Hills hotel room โ a shocking development that she had no memory of.

In the aftermath of the alleged assault, the plaintiff realised that she was pregnant and terminated the pregnancy later that year. She claims not to have entered into a sexual encounter with anyone else besides Metro, attributing the result to his actions.

The lyrics align with the details specified in LeMaistreโs suit: โShe took a Xanny / Then she fainted / Iโm from the gutterโฆ ainโt no changing.โ
