HollywoodLife has reached out to Don Juan and Snoop Dogg’s rep for comment and has not heard back as of press time.
In the lawsuit, Jane Doe says that she and a friend went to one of Snoop Dogg’s concerts in May 2013, and were hanging out in the VIP area with Don Juan. She claims that Don Juan invited her and her friend back to Snoop’s studio and they agreed. After Jane Doe’s friend left, Don Juan allegedly told Jane Doe, “I can take you home or I can take you back to my place with me,” according to the lawsuit. Jane Does alleges she asked to go home, but that she woke up at Don Juan’s home after falling asleep in the car.

She also said that she continues to suffer from “anxiety, stress, depression, nightmares, sleep disturbances, post-traumatic stress, headaches, severe emotional distress and physical ailments.”

The lawsuit further alleges that after the mediation session, he posted the following quote on Instagram: “Gold digger season is here. Be careful, nephews. keep ya guards up and keep ya circle small.” He did not reference Jane Doe or the lawsuit in his caption, but Jane alleges that it was a dig at her in the court docs.
