Scottie Pippen, Larsa Pippen, and the Chicago Bulls organization were hit with a $250 million lawsuit courtesy of Pippen’s ex-girlfriend, Chyvette A. Valentine. In the civil suit filed in Cook County, Illinois, Valentine claims she suffered sexual assault, harassment, stalking and other forms of mistreatment over the past 30 years.
According to a report from The Blast, she is seeking a jury trial. The alleged ex-girlfriend names Chicago Bulls Scottie Pippen, his ex-wife Larsa Pippen and her brother Carl T. Pippen as officials in the lawsuit. She alleges that Scottie Pippen and his brother sexually assaulted her at the end of their six-year relationship, leading to the birth of her son, Devonte Pippen, who was later killed in 2011.
The lawsuit further claims that Valentine attempted to file a police report against Scottie Pippen, but allegedly used his connections to subpoena local, state and federal employees to have him run over. Additionally, she claims Scottie Pippen used her connections to falsify medical records to make it look like she was crazy.

Despite these allegations, Valentine previously sued Pippen in 2019, seeking reimbursement for expenses incurred during her trip to see him perform from 1987 to 1993, as promised by Pippen.

Chyvette Valentine writes letter to Chicago Bulls organization alleging 30 years of abuse from Scottie Pippen
Included in her lawsuit, Chyvette Valentine names the Chicago Bulls organization as one of the parties responsible for her suffering. Of course, it’s important to note that the lawsuit is civil in nature, meaning Valentine is not trying to bring Scottie Pippen or his brother in prison.
Just like in 2019, Valentine is looking for money she says she is owed for the emotional trauma she suffered. The letter addressed to the Chicago Bulls organization reads in part:
“Over the past 30 years, I have endured a series of acts of torment perpetrated by Scottie Pippen, Carl T. Pippen and Larsa Pippen, with the Chicago Bulls organization failing to resolve or rectify the situation . These acts include, among others, stalking, stalking and rape.
“Despite my repeated attempts to appeal through appropriate channels, the Chicago Bulls organization has negligently allowed these crimes to continue unchecked.”
Valentine’s Day letter to Chicago Bulls indicated that if the franchise does not take what it considers favorable action within 30 days, it will pursue the lawsuit. So far, the Bulls organization and Pippen have yet to respond to the allegations.
