Fred Davis involved in a bizarre...well...just read

Oh boy.....

For the past 18 months, Washington Redskins tight end Fred Davis has been quietly engaged in a legal soap opera with a woman he knows from the nightclub scene, according to court documents and courtroom testimony.

On January 10, 2011, Makini R. Chaka, 33, filed a civil complaint against Davis after he allegedly dumped juice on her head and busted her lip at a Washington, DC, nightclub. In court documents and testimony, Chaka accused Davis of assaulting, harassing, and threatening to kill her.

Davis has denied Chaka’s claims. But while most celebrity athletes in his position would retain a high-priced lawyer, Davis has served as his own defense counsel during the case—even arguing on his own behalf at an April 10 hearing in DC Superior Court.

“It’s just all made up and flagellant,” Davis told the judge during his closing argument.

But Stewart Prince, who has worked as Davis’s bodyguard, alleged in court documents that Chaka is “a ‘madam/pimpette’ who provides escorts to high-profile athletes and entertainers.”

“It is well-known in the sports and entertainment industry, particularly in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area, that [Chaka] recruits women to work for her and provide sexual favors to athletes or other entertainer[s] in exchange for money,” Prince said in court documents. He said he knew “at least two women who [Chaka] attempted to recruit to work for her in this capacity.”

Oh, it gets weirder...

Davis suggested in court testimony that Ravens runningback Ray Rice might also be a Chaka client. “Actually the player’s name was Ray Rice,” Davis testified. “I guess he’s one of your clients, too. I don’t know.”

Chaka alleged that Davis has used his influence to blacklist her from Washington nightclubs where she arranges events. Chaka claimed that Davis once even pretended to be Redskins wide receiver Santana Moss in an effort to keep her out of a nightclub.

Chaka testified that after Davis learned she was organizing an event at DC’s Bar 7 on December 2, 2011, Davis impersonated Moss in a phone call with a Bar 7 employee, saying: “I don’t want her to be there or none of the Redskins will get tables there.

During cross-examination at the April hearing, the two armchair attorneys argued over a photograph of Chaka, a woman, and two men:

Davis: “As it shows, you also have your hand on his genitals. I mean why would you take a picture like that?”

Chaka: “I do not. Let’s look closely at the exhibit right here, Judge. Where is my hand placed in this exhibit?”

Judge: “I do not answer questions. . . . The witness does.”

Chaka: “Can you tell me where my hand is actually at in this photo?”

Davis: “It looks like it’s in the genitals to me. I mean your hands are on his genitals. Your hand is on his—”

Chaka: “Objection.”

Yeah...wonder why the skins are reticent to give Davis a long term deal...

I would usually agree with that, but this crazy woman is representing herself as well. As bizarre as this whole thing is, it actually sounded to me like Fred has it pretty well in hand.

The article was very well written and seemed to contain all of the salient points. That woman is a real piece of work and I''ll bet Freddy rues the day he first met her.

The biggest point to this is that he needs to just drop out of the club scene. The guy is walking a fine line anyway. If he's still hanging around in clubs, I can't ever see how that would be a good thing.

This should be on court TV. Should be a lot of laughs.

Only if Davis dresses and acts like Tyler Perry's Madea at every hearing.

1. One who whips, especially one who scourges oneself for religious discipline or public penance.
2. One who seeks sexual gratification in beating or being beaten by another person.

Im going to guess that Fred didn't know what he was talking about.

I believe that he was grasping for "flagrant."

Also get a lawyer dummy. I'm poor but I got my boy on call.

Not that I've ever needed a lawyer!

Also, this. I used to be a court reporter and this would be like the holy grail of transcript tapes.

EDIT: To give you some idea, I recorded thousands of cases over several years, and maybe ten of those went ahead (as opposed to guilty pleas) with people representing themselves. Certainly none of those involved an NFL player and some random hoochie having a self-represented pseudo-legal bro-down on a national stage.

Good Lord, I pray he grows out of whatever mindset he's in.
