Comedian Mulling Lawsuit Over Altercation With Papoose, Claressa Shields

Gerald Huston — the person who was allegedly roughed up by Papoose throughout a prank-gone-wrong final month — tells TMZ Sports he is now contemplating submitting a lawsuit in opposition to the rapper and his girlfriend, Claressa Shields.

The comic instructed us this week that simply after Shields introduced the incident to mild on social media — he is been in talks with attorneys to see if he has a case.

Huston tells us the story’s been twisted a lot, he thinks he might need a defamation declare … along with a possible assault one.

The content material creator — who’s gained fame for stunts like purposely calling celebs mistaken names — mentioned the incident occurred in Las Vegas manner again in early September … simply after the Canelo Alvarez vs. Terence Crawford struggle.

Huston says Shields was mistaken in her recount of the altercation … alleging Papoose by no means received in his face and by no means smacked him with a ebook after he jokingly known as Shields “Serena Williams.” Instead, Huston claims the rapper hurled a stack of books at him from a distance.

Huston mentioned police had been current when it occurred … and although he determined to not press fees on the time, he is now contemplating different authorized motion.

“I’ve been talking to a lawyer and counsel just because of the lies that have been told about me and spread about my name,” Huston mentioned.

“I was assaulted, and they admitted they assaulted me online … but I don’t do my videos for this reason. That’s why I didn’t wanna mention it ’cause I don’t do my videos to get the wrong reaction out of somebody and be like ‘oh let me sue you now.'”
