Jahmel Binion, 23 at the time of the incident, filed a lawsuit Wednesday against O’Neal, Trey Burke and the rapper known as Waka Flocka Flame in Macomb County Circuit Court. He claims defamation, intentional infliction of emotional distress, invasion of privacy and general negligence for the incidents earlier this year. “The defendants?communications clearly implied that the plaintiff was an appropriate object of mockery, ridicule and shame?and “had the effect of lowering the plaintiff’s reputation in the eyes of those who respected the views and opinion of the defendants. ?/p>

 In the lawsuit, Binion’s attorney, John Henke III, says the mocking photos “constituted a public disclosure of embarrassing private facts about the plaintiff?and “placed plaintiff in a false light in the public eye. According to the lawsuit, the “offensive communications” were communicated nationally and globally to more than 8.4 million recipients, including those in Macomb County. Binion then created an antibullying campaign Hug Dont Judge and a Facebook group page that took off.
– A Michigan man with a rare genetic disorder is seeking more than $25,000 in damages from Shaquille O'Neal, NBA player Trey Burke, and rapper Waka Flocka for making fun of his pic on social media, reports the Detroit Free Press. Jahmel Binion has ectodermal dysplasia, a condition that can cause facial deformities and an inability to regulate body temperature, among other symptoms, according to the National Institutes of Health. Shaq did apologize with a repentant tweet and phone call, according to TMZ, but Binion isn't buying the good-guy act. "When they said sorry, I felt like they were saying it to get the pressure off of them for being considered ‘bad people,'" he tells the Macomb Daily.
