Couple Suing Draymond Green Slammed for Hiring the Same Lawyer as Blac Chyna and Usher's Herpes Accuser
The man and woman suing Draymond Green for assault have broken their silence, and they've done so with famed attorney Lisa Bloom. Yes, that's the same lawyer who represents Blac Chyna in her case against Rob Kardashian and more recently the woman who claims that Usher gave her herpes.
Yesterday, Bloom was by the side of Jermaine Edmondson and Bianca Williams as they held a press conference in which they formally announced their lawsuit against Green, the Golden State Warriors' two-time champion forward.
The opening line of their lawsuit claims that "Draymond Green is a bully," as it goes on to reference two separate incidents involving the Warriors' forward last July in the All-Star's hometown of East Lansing, Michigan.
Edmondson, a former Michigan State football player, claims that the first incident took place when Green bumped into him at a bar and began demeaning him about paying for his scholarship.
Bloom claims things got physical when Green and his entourage shoved Edmondson up against a wall and choked him, while alleging that one of the men also grabbed Williams by the neck and held her against a wall as well.
"I still feel that man's hand around my neck and it will forever be traumatizing," Williams said during the press conference, as reported by NBC Bay Area.
The couple alleges that they bumped into Green at a restaurant the very next night and that Green followed Williams outside. When Edmondson says he tried to squash their beef and make peace, he claims Green struck him hard in the face.
"I think about what happened with Draymond every day," Edmondson said, as reported by NBC Bay Area. "I still feel his hand on my jaw. There are nights when I wake up crying. I don't understand why my name has been turned into this joke, and he gets all the credit for being a superstar and standing up for women."
Now, it's one thing to read their statements on paper, but it's entirely different to see the footage, which many people are relegating to crocodile tears and nothing more than a money-grab attempt.
Here's Edmondson's and Williams's "emotional" plead, before they got slammed for hiring Bloom in their case against Draymond Green.

Others called Bloom an 'ambulance chaser'
Undeterred, Bloom tweeted this out ...
Really?
And she actually received support with some people suggesting that Green's on-court indiscretions should be fair play in this case
His on-court shenanigans don't have anything to do with this.

But a whole lot more people slammed Bloom for trying to paint a picture of this couple as 'ordinary people' against 'a wealthy, powerful bully' Green
Welp. Well, they told her.
And about the timing of this lawsuit ...
During yesterday's press conference, Bloom said, "The filing of this lawsuit was a last resort." However, as this person tweeted, Green reached a plea deal and paid a $500 fine and $60 jail restitution relating to his arrest and his misdemeanor charge was reduced to a noise violation, so why is the lawsuit being filed now?
Regardless, Green is ready to fight these allegations and many people are behind him doing so
