A former model accusing Leon Black of rape asked a U.S. judge on Friday to dismiss the billionaire investor's defamation and racketeering conspiracy lawsuit against her and her law firm, as she pursues a separate lawsuit over the rape claim.
In seeking a dismissal of Black's claims, Ganieva and the Wigdor law firm denied conspiring against him.
Susan Estrich, a lawyer for Black, in an interview on Friday said Black had offered "incontrovertible evidence" against Ganieva's claims, and her "scurrilous claims have no purpose other than to humiliate and embarrass Mr. Black with lies."
