Lawsuits Claim Beyonce Is a CIA Lackey — Who Also Murders Kittens
Outlandish allegations against the singer thrown out as frivolous
Despite the money, it’s not always easy being a world-famous celebrity. There’s the paparazzi, the tabloids, and the stalkers. Plus, you become a target for some of the oddest lawsuits. Take Beyoncé, for example. The singer’s been the subject of some really bizarre allegations.
Beyoncé and Jay-Z are “in cahoots with the CIA”
For example, in October 2012 Naomi Riches, “d/b/a Naomi Leatherman,” sued Beyoncé and her husband Jay-Z in federal court in Texas for “1,000,000,000 Billion dollars” for supposedly violating her civil rights. Regardless of whether Riches meant $1 billion or $1 quintillion, she claimed Beyoncé and Jay-Z were guilty of inflicting emotional and mental distress — and copyright infringement.
She said the singers used a “Stimoceiver” implanted in her brain when she was a toddler to take her thoughts and turn them into music. “They have intentionally put me through severe emotional and pscyhological [sic] distress to ensure music can be made from my thoughts.” Beyoncé and Jay-Z, of course, “don’t want anyone to know they are working in cahoots with the CIA in order to produce mass music for corporations.”
