Azealia Banks is crowd-funding to sue Russell Crowe

Azealia Banks has launched a GoFundMe campaign to raise US$100,000 to fund a lawsuit against Russel Crowe.

Two years ago Banks claimed that the actor/musician attacked her at a Hollywood party she attended with RZA.

In the campaign summary, Banks says, “Crowe called me a nigger, choked me, and spat on me…

“If I were a white singer he wouldn’t have even thought about laying a finger on me.

“So many things like this happen in the entertainment industry and it’s time that ALL these perpetrators get reprimanded so they STOP this violent behaviour!!”

In 2016, the L.A. County district attorney’s office decided not to charge Crowe after Banks filed a police report.

It said his actions were “justified to prevent the imminent violence threatened by Banks.”

Crowe has denied the actions he is accused of.

Banks previously claimed that the incident caused “irreparable damage to my acting career and my reputation as well as loads of emotional damage.”

Whatever money she gets from Crowe will go to charities to protect the oceans.

As of this morning, $2148 had been donated after five days.
