Four years ago, former NBA star Dwight Howard was sued by openly gay author Masin Elijé after Masin accused Dwight of harassing him for refusing to sign a non-disclosure agreement about their relationship.
Now Media Take Out has learned that another openly gay man is suing Dwight, claiming that the 7 foot tall baller assaulted and battered him after their encounter turned violent.
According to court documents first published online by RadarOnline.com, Stephen Harper – who describes himself in legal documents as a “gay man” – filed a lawsuit filled with some pretty explosive allegations.
Stephen claim that he reached out to Dwight in 2021, through his “secondary Instagram account.” Stephen did not say whether the account showed his photos, or were fake images – possibly of a woman.
The gay man claims that Dwight responded to his Instagram message by texting him the devil emoji, and the two men started texting regularly.
During their texting, Stephen claims he eventually gave Dwight his REAL Instagram, showing accurate pictures of himself.
“After viewing Mr. Harper’s Primary Account, [Howard] indicated that [Howard] was waiting on [Mr. Harper] to send pics.”
Then things got steamy, Media Take Out has learned.
Stephen claims in legal documents that Dwight explained that he was “into freaky” s**ual content and that he wanted to see Steophen’s n*des and “c—shots.”
In one alleged screenshot provided, Dwight allegedly tells his gay friend, “Now I want you to know I’m not like gay or anything. I’m jus a lil nasty sometimes. Ion wanna offend you.”
“From May of 2021 through July of 2021, Mr. Harper and [Howard] continued to exchange text messages, several of which included s**ually explicit content, such as photographs and videos,” the suit read.
Eventually things turned physical. Here’s more from Radar Online:
The suit alleged that Howard wanted Harper to have a threesome with Kitty. He claimed to have told Howard he wanted to leave but the NBA star convinced him to stay.
Harper wasn’t done with his wild claims. He claimed Kitty then turned on a pornographic film and began performing oral sex on Howard. Harper said he was uncomfortable but attempted to remain calm.
The suit claimed Howard began to rub Harper’s thigh and stoke his “penis through his underwear.”
Harper said he looked at Howard and shook his head “no” and verbally told him “no.” Despite his alleged protest, Harper said Howard continued. Harper said he told Howard to stop which led to him becoming angry.
Harper said Howard told him he was “going to do whatever” and he was “going to like it.”
He claimed he feared that Howard and Kitty would harm him if he resisted the sexual advances.
[social_warfare]“Defendant stood up (towering over Mr. Harper), grabbed Mr. Harper by the thighs, forcibly removed Mr. Harper’s underwear, held Mr. Harper down, and performed nonconsensual oral sex on Mr. Harper,” the suit read. “Mr. Harper was in fear of imminent bodily harm when he was pinned down and forced to remain in place while Defendant continued to sexually assault him.”
