Metro Boomin charged with sexual battery resulting in pregnancy
Music producer Metro Boomin is facing a lawsuit accusing him of sexual assault that led to a pregnancy.
A woman named Vanessa LeMaistre filed the lawsuit in Los Angeles County Superior Court on Tuesday, October 29. LeMaistre is suing Metro Boomin, 31, for battery and sexual battery.
In court documents obtained by We weeklyLeMaistre claimed she met Metro Boomin (real name Leland Tyler Wayne) in the spring of 2016, shortly after her son’s death. After “several discussions about music and life in general” she began to feel comfortable with him and often spent time at his recording studio in California.
LeMaistre claimed that during a studio visit in September 2016, she was “given a shot of alcohol” after taking half a Xanax. After drinking the alcohol, she claimed she lost consciousness and “woke up on a bed” with Metro Boomin “on top of her.” She further claimed that she later woke up and saw Metro Boomin “performing oral sex on her.”
Kanye West has been accused of sexual assault in a new lawsuit. According to a recent lawsuit filed by multiple media outlets, West’s former assistant sued him for sexual assault during a studio session co-hosted by Sean “Diddy” Combs.

LeMaistre pointed out that she could not consent to the sexual acts because she was “completely unable to move or make any sounds” at the time. A week after the alleged assault, LeMaistre learned she was pregnant.
“Given the recent loss of her son and the traumatic cause of her pregnancy, Ms. LeMaistre knew she could not continue the pregnancy or maintain any semblance of her declining mental health,” the lawsuit said. “As a result, Ms. LeMaistre underwent an abortion in November 2016.”
The lawsuit also claims that LeMaistre knew the pregnancy resulted from the alleged assault as she “had not had sex with anyone else.”
Metro Boomin’s lawyer Lawrence Hinkle II shut down the allegations in a statement shared with Us.
“This is a pure shakedown. These are false allegations,” he said. “Sir. Wayne refused to pay her months ago, and he refuses to pay her now. Mr. Wayne will defend himself in court. He will file a claim for malicious prosecution once he is victorious.”
LeMaistre’s lawyer Michael J. Willemin responded to the statement and told Pitchfork“Making defamatory comments will not help Metro Boomin’s case, and we look forward to proving Ms. LeMaistre’s claims in court and ultimately before a jury.”
LeMaistre’s legal team also shared an additional statement with the outlet.

“Metro Boomin has built a successful career with texts and social media that are not only offensive, but also explicitly outline his intentions to harm women,” the lawyers said. “These are more than just words, and it is time he is held accountable for his manipulative tactics and unacceptable behavior.”
