Two Women Sue Jermain Taylor
By Robert Ecksel February 8th, 2007Guilty as charged? Or are they just two little girls from Little Rock?
Middleweight champion of the world Jermain “Bad Intentions� Taylor has been socked with two civil law suits filed by two women who claim that the champ assaulted them during a Sept. 3 performance by comedian Katt Williams at Robinson Auditorium in Little Rock, Arkansas.
The lawsuits were filed in Pulaski County Circuit Court and accuse Taylor of “causing emotional distress and mental suffering” to Jeanine Morse and Yvette McCarty, both of whom want not less than $75,000.
What exactly did Jermain Taylor supposedly do? According to the AP, the complaint says Taylor grabbed Morse’s breasts during the performance and tried to steal a kiss from McCarty, who was working as an usher during the performance, and must have been some kind of fox for him to act that way, if he acted that way.
“I have been falsely accused of improper behavior,” Taylor said in a statement. “It’s a shame that people will go this far for financial gain and try to damage my name. I have always conducted myself with others in the most respectful way.”
The complainants’ attorney, Stephanie Chamberlin, who represents both plaintiffs, doesn’t see it that way.
“My feeling is every woman has a right to not have her body assaulted, no matter who it is,” she said. “Neither one of these women knew of [Taylor’s] celebrity status. This isn’t about money. We are in the position where we feel like if he is going to be represented like a hometown hero, he needs to act like one.”
Taylor’s coach, Ozell Nelson, said Taylor’s wife was with the boxer at the concert and that nothing improper happened. “This is crazy,” he said. “Jermain’s wife was with him. I can’t believe they (the defendants) would try this.”

I’m not saying anything, except that Jermain doesn’t seem like the type of guy to do this.

This whole thing stinks, these women are bunch of gold diggers, the man was with his wife would she not have had anything to say to Jemaine at time if any such thing happened. Most men would not want to deal with the drama or stress & therefore would at least indulge in their carnal urges in the absence of their other half to say the least. Now jermaine on the other hand has maintained the best public image anyone could have. No way Jermaine did anything of the sort, I think these to women have conspired to make some sort of financial gain out of this, isn’t it obvious? Someone lock these bitches up to make an example out of them for any pother potential future gold digging scammers.

It is easy to make assumptions about what happened without having all of the information, so let’s see how it plays out in court.

I think it is a conspiracy to keep the black man down. As you know, as black people, white folks always try to divide us with this willie lench shit that they have been doing for years. The guy represents Arkansas when he is in the ring, he really do not owe Arkansas shit. He has pride for his home state, but this broke ass state is about to take him through some drama because Taylor represents what they do not like a young black man that made it and he is from Arkansas and he did not leave Arkansas, if he give other brothers a chance like that then the others will have a nightmare so Taylor stay strong and keep it righteous, and you and your wife need to only handle ur business btwn you 2 but keep it strong and hold on too the belt.
