Suge Knight has got another legal case to add to his long list of lawsuits, which include the murder charge he faces over the death of Terry Carter and the wrongful death suit filed this week by Carter’s widow.

Now he is being sued by photographer Leslie Redden, who alleges that on 5 September 2104, Knight and comedian Micah “Katt” Williams threatened and assaulted her.

Knight believed Redden was taking photographs of his son outside the FilmOn Studios in Beverly Hills, and called her a “bitch” and “angrily advance[d] towards her”, according to the Hollywood Reporter. Redden also claims Knight also summoned another woman – “a bitch to come beat your motherfucking ass”.

Williams and a woman believed to be his then girlfriend are alleged to have forced Redden to the floor and taken her camera from her, demanding she delete the pictures. Redden says she was left with severe injuries to her neck, back and head, and a dislocated finger.
