On Tuesday, the defamation trial of rapper Doodie Lo against instagram model FTN Bae was scheduled to start in a south Florida federal courthouse where FTN Bae accused the rapper of sexually assaulting her child in the past. While rapper Doodie Lo was never charged with that crime, the model continued accusing of the claim on social media. At some point he filed a lawsuit seeking damages in excess of 30 million. Moments before the case was to have commenced, model FTN Bae was arrested outside of the federal courthouse and was carted off to a local jail charged with an unrelated criminal case. While she was in jail for the day the case proceeded to trial while only rapper Doodie Loe had an opportunity to present his side. The case went given to the jury the same day and the rapper was awarded a judgment of 11 million dollars.

During the day reports appeared on several blog sites and social media pages reporting the rapper’s victory but what wasn’t known to many was the fact that FTN Bae wasn’t present for the trial and never had an opportunity to tell her side of the story. Many stories floating around on the internet suggested that she was arrested for lying in the federal case for perjury however that never happened. Additionally, one of the cops that participated in the earlier arrest of her that day was scheduled top testify for rapper Doodie Lo as a plaintiff witness. In an interview with HHE’s Dennis Byron on Instagram after her release from jail, she told a different tale of what actually happened and why she didn’t appear at her trial. She also wrote a very passionate letter to the presiding judge in the case and stated that she would like for him to allow her to file a motion to have the verdict reversed and give her an opportunity to have her day in court.(see below) She alleged in her writing that she believed that the plaintiff and his counsel engaged in an act of fraud and deception to the court and that she can prove it if she’s allowed to file her motion. U.S. District Rodney Smith gave Britney Elder aka FTN Bae 2 weeks to have her motion filed with the court.
The attorney representing David Saulsberry aka Doodie Lo is no stranger to controversy either as attorney Ariel Mitchell was accused of offering a witness in a case involving r n b singer Trey Songz over $100,000 to change her story in a civil case involving the singer.
“According to the transcript, Thielen — who was with Jeffries the night of Trey’s alleged assault — says Mitchell offered to pay between $100k-$200k if she’d lie and say she witnessed Trey sexually assault Jeffries … and claim that Trey assaulted her too. Mitchell allegedly said she was trying to paint Trey as “the next R. Kelly.”
Thielen says Mitchell’s plan was to take her allegations to Trey’s team in hopes of coming to a monetary settlement, and her lies would help to make that amount larger … again, this according to the transcript.” That case is currently being investigated by the Florida Bar Association according to our sources.
This is a developing story.
