Seems juicy enough.
Seems legit when you read the top.
But then it is all downhill from there.
The “lawsuit,” which was first passed along by Darren Heitner of Forbes, alleges Johnny Manziel sent a number of inappropriate photos to the emotionally distraught girl, who wants a cool $25 million for the emotional distress it caused. Considering one of the “allegations” is that Manziel sent a photo with mini-Johnny Football in a hot dog bun, it was quick to figure out this had to be a prank. Right?
At first, many thought this was fake. Well, Alex Marvez says that the lawsuit is real, but the story in itself may not be.
As 1st reported by @DarrenHeitner, the sexual harassment lawsuit against @JManziel2 is real (I checked). Whether it's true is another story.

It kept getting worse, too.
From stripping at LeBron James’ crip to exchanging dick pics with “Judereon Clowney.”
You really have to wonder why this would be accepted by a court, but those answers will come.
Manziel’s agent, obviously not happy, was quick to dismiss the suit.
This joke "lawsuit" is obviously 1000000% fake and/ or frivolous. Embarrassing I even have say this after reading the nonsense.

It would certainly seem that way, but we will have to see what happens next.
There is a wealth of comical lines in the “document” and it is worth a read if your morning is off to a slow or depressing start.
