Golden State Warriors forward Kelly Oubre is suing his ex-girlfriend Makena LeDuff, accusing her of threatening to launch a smear campaign against him unless he paid her nearly $3 million.
Oubre says his ex contacted him on January 11, 2021, and demanded the sum of money, or else she would attempt to destroy his reputation.
"Makena demanded that Kelly her pay her nearly $3 million or she would make public her false, scurrilous, and extortionate allegations by the end of the week," the lawsuit reads. The suit also claims LeDuff threatened to say Oubre was engaged in "criminal conduct" in order "to cause maximum and irreparable harm to Kelly, his reputation, and his career."
Oubre first filed suit against LeDuff in 2019. The six-year NBA veteran claimed that after the pair broke up, she stole his two dogs, slashed his tires, and refused to leave the house he was renting in Beverly Hills.
Oubre's lawyers amended the 2019 complaint and are now seeking punitive damages due to LeDuff's threats and refusing to return Oubre's dogs. In addition, the suit claims Oubre's ex posted a slight threat on Instagram in August 2019.
"Makena posted a photo on her Instagram account, where she intimated that she would take physical action against Kelly, Kelly's friends, or anyone else that tried to enter the house to help Kelly to retrieve his things," the lawsuit claims. "Specifically, the photo showed Makena in the backyard of the Beverly Hills house, wearing one of Kelly's favorite hats, while at the same time brandishing a rifle. In the caption, Makena wrote, 'Exercising ALL my rights.'"
Oubre is seeking a judge to award him his dogs and force LeDuff to pay for the property she damaged at his home at the time of their breakup.
