New evidence submitted to the Queens County Supreme Court includes pictures of a young Jennifer Hough that show bruises on her face and neck allegedly left by Kenneth Petty.
Nicki Minaj’s husband Kenneth Petty is probably just as infamous in the court system as his wife is in hip hop. The convicted sex offender has failed to settle the sexual assault lawsuit that his victim Jennifer Hough brought against him in 2021, as a result, they will be headed to trial. With that, it was already a given that some pretty damaging evidence could see the light of day, but based on what Hough is now bringing to the table.. that whole narrative that she was never raped by Petty is completely dead.
Even with this evidence, Hough feels she still has a battle ahead of her, not with the court of law, but the court of public opinion. “For me, it’s been hell,” she said of the past few years. “When I was 16, nobody believed me..And now it feels the same.
“It feels like I’m fighting for my character,” Hough said, clarifying that she hopes that those who still support Petty will see that “he did what he did.” We’ll keep you posted on how this plays out as it heads to trial. Thoughts?
In a letter to the court filed Friday, Hough’s attorney, Tyrone Blackburn, writes that the plaintiff initially requested the 1994 court records at the start of her litigation, but that “due to the age of the requested records, the Queens District Attorney’s Office took a long time to retrieve, review, redact, and produce the records.”
Petty’s attorney Steven David Isser did not respond to The Daily Beast’s emailed request for comment; when reached by phone, he declined to comment.
When asked what she hopes to demonstrate with these new documents, Hough told The Daily Beast that she “just wanted to show proof that I didn’t lie on this man. I did exactly what I was supposed to do. When it happened, I went to the police. I went to the hospital. I had a rape kit done.”
The 1994 incident occurred when both Petty and Hough were 16 years old. The newly submitted exhibits include photographs of injuries to a young Hough’s face, neck, and sides, as well as a police laboratory analysis report stating that Hough’s underwear and two vaginal smears “were positive for the presence of spermatozoa.” The report further states that a pair of “checker shorts” collected from Petty on the day of the alleged assault “were positive for the presence of spermatozoa.”
