Yasiel Puig set up in Staples Center bathroom by a lesbian looking to sue him?

[Dan Druff]

Yasiel Puig is being sued by a woman for "sexual assault", with allegations that he followed her into a Staples Center bathroom, and groped her while masturbating.

This dates back to 2018, and is part of the reason MLB teams stopped taking chances on him.

However, there are some bizarre elements to the case:

- The woman is a lesbian, and has a female fiancee.

- This occurred in the "Charmain's Club", an exclusive area of Staples Center, after a Lakers game. Somehow nobody else saw it occur.

- After the supposed attack, the woman texted with Puig, used "heart" emojis, and asked when he'd be back in town so they could meet up again. Both sides acknowledge this. However, the woman claims she was scared of Puig, and only texted with him just to prevent another attack.

- Puig claims that the woman set him up, willingly had sex with him, and is now suing him to make money.


Clearly we're not getting the whole story here. If Yasiel Puig follows you into a bathroom, touches you, and masturbates -- all without your consent -- do you give him your real phone number and text with him for weeks after that? And how did she know Puig in the first place? Is she claiming Puig just followed her into the bathroom as a random stranger? Also, how did Puig do this without anyone else seeing him?

I'm not saying Puig is totally innocent here.

If I had to guess, here's my best theory of what happened:

Puig was in that private club section of Staples Center, and was approached by a pretty girl, whom he believed was interested in him. However, being an engaged lesbian, she only saw dollar signs, and figured she'd use him for money while delaying putting out as long as she could. When she got up to go to the bathroom (which was probably not busy because it was in a private section or something), Puig decided to make his move. He followed her to the bathroom, groped her, and jerked off, and she just sat there quietly because she didn't want to derail the gravy train. Then she probably made some excuse about feeling guilty about her fiancee, gave her phone #, and left the bathroom.

Puig then kept texting her, and she decided to try to milk him for gifts while not actually putting out. However, Puig started to get more aggressive in his texts, pushing her to fuck him and not tell her fiancee. Finally she decided the jig was up, tried to tell Puig it wasn't ever going to happen, and he threatened to reveal to her fiancee what they had already done in that bathroom. Later, the girl decided to sue him and at least get something out of it.

Anyway, none of this looks right to me. Maybe the whole story will eventually come out, and we'll see how close my guess was.

Yeah looks likely this whole thing was a big setup, and Puig was innocent, except of stupidity.

What I find humorous about the Gringo attorney's release was the Quote attributed to Yasiel Puig on Page 3. Yasiel doesn't speak like that. In fact, his English is about as good as you would expect of someone who was born and grew up in Cuba and came to this country to play baseball because some agent saw $$$$$$. He didn't have the benefit of being born and raised here like my family who speak and write English without accents and with proper grammar. I'm sure he spoke in Spanish with a law clerk or associate who then translated it for the attorneys who cleaned it up.

You know, they could take a line from CNN and call it a "mostly consensual" encounter

I kinda want to know if the lesbian fiancee was in on this. Like, was the agreement that it's okay if her soon-to-be-wife gets groped by Yasiel Puig, as long as they cash in on the whole thing?

What a bizarre story.
