Power lawyer Howard E. King has
fired off a letter to Star Magazine and OK, which reported that Thicke and
Patton had been involved in a “consensual” relationship with a massage
therapist named “Jasmine,” which “took a disastrous turn” when “Paula
discovered – in the worst possible way – that the masseuse … and Robin were
carrying on a separate affair behind her back.”
Radar Online went as far as to claim
that Patton walked in on the masseuse and Robin, “and literally caught him with
his pants down.”
King said in the letter, “On behalf
of Mr. Thicke, as well as [the alleged masseuse], we categorically deny every
assertion of fact posited in your email [asking for comment] and are certain
there can be no reliable, trustworthy source of any such story, given its gross
deviation from the truth. Any purported source of such a story is lying.”
He added, “Publication of this
blatantly false story absent a failure to fully investigate the truth combined
with reliance on what has to be a flimsy source, will support a finding that
the story is published in wanton and reckless disregard of the truth, leading
to a finding of malice and the imposition of actual and punitive damages.”
