Nicki Minaj’s husband, Kenneth Petty, has reportedly referenced a 1994 letter allegedly written by his rape accuser, Jennifer Hough, to the district attorney as he pushes back against a new lawsuit alleging that he attempted to sexually assault her.
In the purported letter, Hough reportedly said her rape allegations were “half true and half false” and claimed that she had dated Petty and voluntarily gone to his home on the day of the alleged assault.
Hough’s lawyer, Marjorie Mesidor, challenged the letter’s validity, saying that her client had no involvement in writing or signing it.
“This exact tactic was attempted by Mr. Petty in 1994, and it was widely disregarded by the judge then just as it will be disregarded by the judge now,” Mesidor told The Daily Mail on Thursday.
Mesidor added, “The concept of a 16-year-old minor producing a typewritten recantation without parental consent is highly suspicious on its face — and this is simply not her signature.”
In April 1995, Petty was convicted of attempted first-degree rape in New York.
In the purported 1994 letter submitted to the court, Hough reportedly said she hoped to “drop charges” against Petty.
She also said she had known Petty for years before the incident and was on her way to school when he approached her, saying he had “something very important” to discuss privately.
Hough reportedly said she ultimately went with him because she wanted to leave and was already late for school.
She added that she threw a water bottle at Petty as she left, prompting him to chase her before she fell down a staircase.
Hough filed a civil lawsuit in 2021, alleging that Petty, Nicki Minaj and their associates harassed, intimidated and paid her to retract her 1994 rape allegations.
She claimed the alleged campaign escalated after Petty was arrested for failing to register as a sex offender in California.
