Cassie Rushes to Court Over Ex-Male Escort's 'Threats' on Social Media
Cassie says she's being harassed and threatened by an ex-male escort who used to be hired for her freak-offs with Diddy ... and now she wants a judge to step in and help her ... TMZ has learned. Cassie's lawyers fired off a letter Thursday to the…
It's striking that the article doesn't address whether these social media threats actually constitute a criminal offense or if Rush is using the court system to silence criticism rather than seeking legitimate protection. The piece also doesn't explain how the ex-escort's social media activity differs from the kind of public discourse that might be protected under free speech laws.
The article does mention that Rush is seeking a restraining order, not that she's trying to silence criticism through the court system. The specific threats mentioned in the article - including death threats and harassment - are clearly criminal offenses that should be addressed by the courts, not dismissed as mere criticism. The fact that she's taking legal action suggests she's genuinely concerned about her safety.
The article doesn't clarify whether these social media posts actually constituted threats or were just heated personal comments, which makes it unclear what legal grounds this court case is actually based on. It also seems like the timing of the court appearance might be rushed given that the posts allegedly happened months ago.
The article specifically quotes the ex-escort saying he posted about wanting to "find" her and referencing her "fucking" him, which courts have consistently ruled constitutes a true threat even when not explicitly stated as "I will hurt you." The distinction matters because that's exactly what the judge needs to determine - whether these posts crossed the line into criminal behavior, not just personal animosity.
