Robin Thicke is threatening to take legal action over a report he and estranged wife Paula Patton were involved in a “three-way relationship” with a masseuse.
Power lawyer Howard E. King has fired off a letter to Star Magazine and OK, which reported that Thicke and Patton had been involved in a “consensual” relationship with a massage therapist named “Jasmine,” which “took a disastrous turn” when “Paula discovered – in the worst possible way – that the masseuse … and Robin were carrying on a separate affair behind her back.”
Radar Online went as far as to claim that Patton walked in on the masseuse and Robin, “and literally caught him with his pants down.”
King said in the letter, “On behalf of Mr. Thicke, as well as [the alleged masseuse], we categorically deny every assertion of fact posited in your email [asking for comment] and are certain there can be no reliable, trustworthy source of any such story, given its gross deviation from the truth. Any purported source of such a story is lying.”
He added, “Publication of this blatantly false story absent a failure to fully investigate the truth combined with reliance on what has to be a flimsy source, will support a finding that the story is published in wanton and reckless disregard of the truth, leading to a finding of malice and the imposition of actual and punitive damages.”
Thicke and Patton announced their separation in February, with Thicke going on to profess his love for the actress and his hope they could reconcile at a series of live concerts in the following weeks.
He has been the subject of numerous salacious stories about his alleged sex life in recent weeks, and sources tell us that Thicke is preparing for a legal fight to protect his and Patton’s reputation.
