Oubre amends lawsuit, claims ex-GF tried to extort him for $3M originally appeared on NBC Sports Bayarea

On Thursday, Kelly Oubre filed a motion to amend a 2019 lawsuit filed against his ex-girlfriend to seek punitive damages after she allegedly attempted to extort Oubre for $3 million, according to a lawsuit filed in Los Angeles obtained by TMZ.

The Warriors swingman claims that Makena LeDuff asked for $3 million on Jan. 11 or else she would retaliate against him and ruin his reputation.

“Makena demanded that Kelly her pay her nearly $3 million or she would make public her false, scurrilous, and extortionate allegations by the end of the week,” the lawsuit reads.

The lawsuit states that LeDuff recently found out that Oubre is engaged to another woman and that led her to try and extort Oubre to “gain the upper hand in the matter.”

“Makenna has gone so far as to use an “internet phone number” (aka burner phone) to try to anonymously send a text message with a recitation of the false allegations to Kelly’s father,” the lawsuit reads. “She has presumably done so with the hopes of (1) trying to coerce Kelly’s father into pressuring Kelly to pay her the nearly $3 million to avoid the false allegations from becoming public, and (2) sending the message that she will start to disseminate the false allegations from one of Kelly’s family to another, until such time as either Kelly pays her the nearly $3 million she demanded or she makes the false allegations public.”

Oubre originally filed the lawsuit in 2019 In 2019 claiming LeDuff stole his two dogs, slashed his tires and refused to leave the house he was renting in Beverly Hills. LeDuff still has not returned Oubre’s dogs and also made thinly veiled threats against the 25-year-old forward on Instagram.

“Makena posted a photo on her Instagram account, where she intimated that she would take physical action against Kelly, Kellys friends, or anyone else that tried to enter the house to help Kelly to retrieve his things,” the lawsuit claims.

There will be a case management conference Feb. 24, 2019, in Santa Monica Courthouse of Los Angeles Couty where the two sides will meet to determine how to move forward. A hearing on the motion is scheduled for March 30, 2021.
