Judge Dismisses Misa Hylton’s $5M Lawsuit Against Mary J. Blige
According to TMZ, on Tuesday, January 6, New York judge Phaedra F. Perry-Bond granted Mary J. Blige and her lawyers, Lisa Moore and Andrew Pequignot, a motion to dismiss Misa Hylton’s lawsuit. This, reportedly without prejudice. Per Illinois Legal Aid, this means that the lawsuit can be re-filed by Hylton again, as long as it’s within the statute of limitations.
TMZ asserts, however, that it appears unlikely that Hylton will pursue legal action again, as she has recently appeared inactive in the case. This, reportedly after Blige labeled the suit as “frivolous.”
“The court in no way condones parties filing lawsuits claiming millions in damages based on inflammatory accusations, only to have those very same parties abandon their allegations when faced with a motion to dismiss and sanctions. Plaintiffs and their counsel shall consider this a warning to refrain from engaging in similar patterns of behavior in the future. This written warning may serve as weighty evidence on a future application for sanctions if plaintiffs and/or their counsel continue to engage in similar bad faith litigation tactics,” the judge reportedly asserted, alongside a warning for Hylton.
Social Media Reacts As Misa Hylton Reportedly Speaks Out
Social media users shared their thoughts on the dismissal of Misa Hylton’s lawsuit against Mary J. Blige in TSR’s comment section. This, while also weighing in on their apparently tarnished friendship.
Instagram user @maejorjermaine wrote, “Not Yall Actin Like Yall Know What Happened”
“Over the years, there have been people very close to me who have hurt me deeply, and I chose not to pursue them even when I could have, and maybe should have. That reflection led me to ask myself why I would choose a different path for someone I once called my sister. Through this experience, I learned that mixing family, friendship, and business is not always wise, and that even in painful moments there are meaningful lessons to be learned. While I don’t agree with everything that was done, I chose peace. This entire ordeal has taken a significant toll on my mental health and has caused me to reflect deeply on life, memories, relationships, and their true purpose and meaning. I pray for healing for all of us.”
More On The $5M Lawsuit Against Mary J. Blige
As The Shade Room previously reported, in April 2025, AllHipHop published an exclusive report, asserting that Hylton accused Blige and her management company, Beautiful Life Productions, of “sabotaging” her relationship with rapper Vado. Specifically, Hylton alleged that Blige was preventing the release of Vado’s album in order to pressure him into cutting ties with Hylton and her management company, M.I.S.A. Management.
Furthermore, the suit alleged that Vado was signed with Hylton’s company months before signing with Blige’s. Additionally, it asserted that Vado completed an album in July 2024. But it was shelved by Blige “as long as he stayed with M.I.S.A.” Ultimately, the suit requested $5 million in damages for “breach of contract, emotional distress, and interference with business relationships.”
In the days that followed, Hylton continued sparking reactions with a cryptic social media post, per The Shade Room.
This, as her lawyer, Nicholas Ramcharitar, shared a statement with AllHipHop.
“… These women were closer than biological sisters. Misa did everything to keep this private—calls, texts, even letters to Mary’s legal team. But after months of silence and missed obligations, we had no choice but to file. This lawsuit wasn’t Plan A — it was Plan Z,” Ramcharitar said. “Unless we hear from Mary’s camp, we’ll move forward with the request for judicial intervention… But again, we’d rather avoid that. We’re still saying: let’s sit down, break bread, talk like family…”
By July, Blige reportedly requested the suit be tossed. Additionally, she alleged Vado personally wanted out of his deal with Hylton, but teamed up with her for an apparent shakedown and payout.
