Judge sanctions attorney Tyrone Blackburn for misconduct in Fat Joe defamation deposition

The ad hominem attacks aimed at counsel for Plaintiff, including homophobic, transphobic, and sexualized comments about his mother shock the conscience.

A federal judge has sanctioned attorney Tyrone Blackburn after finding his conduct during depositions in Fat Joe's ongoing legal battle with former hype man Terrance Dixon crossed the line and disrupted the judicial process.

U.S. Magistrate Judge Jennifer E. Willis granted Fat Joe's motion for sanctions in part, denied Blackburn and Dixon's cross-motion, and ordered Dixon to sit for a second deposition after determining the original session had been significantly compromised.
