In a shocking turn of events, Cyndi Lauper\u2019s son, rapper Declyn \u201cDex\u201d Lauper, is at the center of a new lawsuit alleging sexual assault. The victim claims that Dex, after refusing to perform oral sex, forcibly assaulted her in a New York City apartment. This lawsuit adds to the growing list of allegations against Dex, raising serious questions about the safety and well-being of those around him.<\/p>\n
According to the lawsuit, obtained by TMZ, Dex invited the woman over in November 2020 and provided her with money for private transportation. However, when she arrived, the situation took a dark turn. The woman claims that Dex seemed agitated and that there was a disagreement about her performing oral sex. When she insisted on leaving, Dex allegedly took her phone and threatened to break it if she did not comply. The victim further alleges that Dex pushed her onto his bed, held her arms down, and forcibly smothered his genitals over her mouth. She also claims that Dex called her derogatory names and threatened to silence her if she ever spoke about what happened.<\/p>\n
The woman is not suing Dex directly. Instead, she is suing Cyndi\u2019s husband, David Thornton, alleging that he enabled the sexual assault. She claims that David leased the penthouse where the incident occurred and was aware of Dex\u2019s violent and abusive tendencies, including prior sexual violence against women and prior settlements of similar claims. The woman also points out that Dex\u2019s ex, \u201cLove & Hip Hop: New York\u201d star Brittney Taylor, made public claims in 2018 alleging that Dex was physically and verbally abusive during their relationship. She argues that David knew about these allegations but failed to take any action to prevent Dex from using the premises to perpetrate sexual violence.<\/p>\n
The victim claims to have suffered physical injuries, pain and suffering, emotional distress, humiliation, embarrassment, stress, anxiety, loss of self-esteem, self-confidence, and emotional pain and suffering as a result of the alleged sexual assault. She is seeking damages from David Thornton.<\/p>\n
