Former “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” cast member Diana Jenkins says in new court papers that she is not a sex-trafficker or someone who coerces celebrities into prostitution as she maintains she has been falsely portrayed in “Crazy Days and Nights,” which is run by the gossip blogger known as Enty Lawyer.
Jenkins alleges in her suit filed Nov. 2 in Van Nuys Superior Court that blogger Enty Lawyer has repeatedly defamed her with false allegations, including that she has engaged in sex trafficking of children, coerced vulnerable celebrities into prostitution, was associated with the late Jeffrey Epstein and that she committed money laundering and statutory rape.
“I am many things, but I am not the person Enty Lawyer has cast me to be,” Jenkins says. “I am not, nor have I ever been, a sex trafficker, a madam or a criminal. I have suffered significant reputational harm from Enty Lawyer’s false and offensive statements about me. My family has been threatened with violence, and my reputation has been irreparably tarnished.”
Jenkins’ sworn declaration was filed Friday with Judge Shirley K. Watkins in opposition to Enty Lawyer’s anti-SLAPP dismissal motion, scheduled for hearing June 9. Anti-SLAPP laws provide defendants a way to quickly dismiss meritless lawsuits known as SLAPPs or Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation.
Enty Lawyer’s anti-SLAPP motion maintains that Jenkins’ complaint infringes on his First Amendment rights.
Jenkins says she escaped Bosnia as a refugee, leaving her family behind and starting over in London. She says her brother was murdered by Serbian forces during the Bosnian War.
“I supported myself by working multiple jobs, graduating with honors with a bachelor of science degree in computer science and business,” Jenkins says. “I became an entrepreneur and philanthropist. Eventually, I became a cast member on the “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.”
After the January 2010 earthquake in Haiti, Jenkins donated $1 million to relief efforts, teaming up with actor/director Sean Penn to form the Jenkins-Penn Haitian Relief Organization, Jenkins says. The group provided emergency medical and primary care services, medical equipment and medicine and developed housing and education facilities for those displaced by the tremor, Jenkins says.
“I have also raised millions of dollars for various philanthropic efforts, including Not On Our Watch, a nongovernment international relief and humanitarian aid organization aimed at ending mass atrocities around the world, and the Elton John Aids Foundation, a non-profit founded by singer Elton John aimed at ending the AIDS epidemic,” according to Jenkins.
Jenkins further states that in a podcast, Enty Lawyer maintained that Jenkins took advantage of Hayden Panettiere and coerced the actress into prostitution while claiming Jenkins was able to take advantage of the “Heroes” star at a time she was suffering from drug addiction and career problems.
In October 2015, Panettiere voluntarily checked into a facility for treatment, causing her to miss filming for a few episodes of “Nashville.” She returned to treatment in May 2016.
“None of these statements are true whatsoever,” Jenkins says. “I have never forced anyone to engage in prostitution. I have never been involved with prostitution in any way.”
Jenkins says she believes Enty Lawyer made the allegations concerning Panettiere “to drive traffic to his blog, increase his reader engagement and cast him in the hero role of “Hollywood whistleblower” and a “purveyor of justice for victims of sexual exploitation and abuse.”
Enty Lawyer further falsely alleged that Jenkins forced actress Amanda Bynes into prostitution as well, Jenkins says.
Addressing the allegations of sex-trafficking and an association with Epstein, Jenkins says, “I have never sold any children to anyone and have never interacted with Jeffrey Epstein in any way.”
Jenkins says she is still “unaware of the true name and capacity” of Enty Lawyer.
Enty Lawyer’s allegedly defamatory statements have brought Jenkins hundreds of comments and direct messages, including “sex-trafficking whore” and “you gotta go, Madame Diana,” according to Jenkins, who further says she has been forced to spend money for public relations and crisis management due to the “widespread dissemination of Enty Lawyer’s false and defamatory statements.”
Enty Lawyer says in a sworn declaration that his November 2021 tweet about Jenkins and Epstein was based on a photo he saw of Epstein, former President Trump and a “laughing woman” whom he previously believed was Jenkins.
