Lawyers for The Game, real name Jayceon Terrell Taylor, are fighting for the chance to bring up the his sexual assault accuser’s sexual history when the case is brought before the court.
Specifically, The Game’s legal team is trying to direct the court’s attention to their claims that the accuser had previously been a prostitute, and that she had spent time in a mental institution, according to TMZ. The site has furthered reported that The Game’s legal team also believes she has a criminal background, having been arrested for theft.
The Game has been accused of sexual assault by Priscilla Rainey, who had been a contestant on The Game’s reality TV show She’s Got Game. Rainey’s own legal team is seeking to disqualify any discussion of the complainant’s alleged past.
Rainey has said that the rapper put his hand up her skirt and touched her sexually without her consent.

The Game has previously launched furious tirades at Rainey in response to the accusations, which surfaced in 2015. While The Game’s lawyers have argued that Rainey is making “knowingly false claims” about their client, The Game himself has gone way further, calling Rainey a “thirsty Gatorade mascot of a transvestite.”
In an Instagram post from February, The Game wrote that “Soon as I’m home, me & my lawyers will EAT THIS CASE like a box of Minion Twinkies on sale at Walmart!”
“Every girl on that show will tell u I never touched this chick or ever desired to be anywhere near her. She got kicked off the show & as a result she filed this lame lawsuit which was probably her intentions before the show was ever even started.”
Game never responded to the lawsuit, so the judge set a default value of $10 million on it.
