Reggie Bush was in San Diego yesterday to give a deposition in a suit filed against him by a sports marketer over monies Bush allegedly received while at USC. Details of the suit are HERE. However, the meeting never got started due to intimidation by Bush and his bodyguard, which included flashing a gun in the conference room prior to the deposition.
Lloyd Lake, a San Diego businessman and sports marketing agent who says he gave Bush and his family illegal payments and gifts while he was attending USC, left Bush’s local attorney’s offices here about 20 minutes after he and his attorney, Brian Watkins, arrived Tuesday morning.
Watkins said he objected to David Cornwell, Bush’s attorney, having an unidentified armed man present in the conference room for the deposition.
“It was outrageous,” Watkins said. “Never in my 12 years of litigation have I ever encountered anything like this. Cornwell elected to bring a friend with a gun to the deposition. And I would not allow my client to be intimidated and go forward under those circumstances.” [link]
I can’t believe this whole mess will end well. Seriously….not just with Bush’s Heisman trophy and USC’s national championship being revoked, but with former gang-member wannabe sports agents (that Lloyd Lake dude) and guns flying around in hearings….ya gotta think this could get real underworld ugly.
I’ve seen Boyz in the Hood and Ricky (Morris Chestnut) didn’t even get to play a single down at USC! Not even Doughboy could save his little bro…I still think Tre was a little bitch for not taking part in that revenge hit!
