Former Chicago Bulls star Scottie Pippen and his ex-wife Larsa Pippen are facing a lawsuit alleging harassment and stalking.
Chyvette Valentine, who claims to be Pippen’s ex-girlfriend, filed a lawsuit against Pippen, 58, reality TV personality Larsa, 49, and Pippen’s brother Carl in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, on Wednesday.
According to Page Six, Valentine alleges in court documents that the trio, along with the Chicago Bulls organization, caused her significant distress.
Valentine is seeking $250 million in damages from Pippen, the Bulls franchise, and his family members. She alleges that she had an intermittent relationship with Pippen from 1987 to 1993, which ended after she claims she was sexually assaulted by Pippen and his brother, Carl. The alleged assault reportedly resulted in the birth of her son, Devonte Pippen, who passed away in 2011.

Page Six confirmed docs were filed via the docket Wednesday in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Ill., by a woman named Chyvette Valentine, who claimed to be the ex-girlfriend of the Chicago Bulls legend.
According to court documents reviewed by Page Six, Valentine claimed that Scottie, the Chicago Bulls, his brother Carl T. Pippen and the “Real Housewives of Miami” star, 49, caused her suffering.
Valentine alleged that she had an on-and-off relationship with Scottie, 58, from 1987 to 1993 and their relationship ended because she was allegedly raped by the athlete and Carl.
Valentine further claims that following the end of their relationship, Pippen used his NBA celebrity status to stalk, harass, and torment her, leading to severe mental and emotional distress.
She also alleges that Pippen utilized his connections with law enforcement and medical professionals to thwart her attempts to seek justice and portrayed her as mentally unstable.
Valentine asserts that the stalking behavior resulted in the loss of job opportunities and housing.
A court date has been scheduled for May 2nd.
Pippen was previously married to Karen McCollum from 1988 to 1990 before marrying Larsa in 1997. Larsa filed for divorce in 2018.
Valentine claims she was unaware of Pippen’s marriage to McCollum during their relationship. She has previously taken legal action against Pippen in 2019, suing him for expenses incurred during their relationship.
Meanwhile, Larsa is currently dating Marcus Jordan, son of Pippen’s former teammate Michael Jordan.
Pippen is currently touring Australia on his ‘No Bull’ tour with ex-teammates Horace Grant and Luc Longley. The tour aims to discuss the Bulls’ six NBA titles and the ESPN documentary “The Last Dance,” which Pippen and others criticized for favoring Jordan.
Tensions between Pippen and Jordan escalated after the release of “The Last Dance,” exacerbated by Marcus Jordan’s relationship with Larsa.
