Misa Hylton is speaking out after a judge dismissed her lawsuit against Mary J. Blige — someone she “once called a sister,” and for whom she is “praying for healing.”

As we previously shared, Hylton took Blige, her former client and best friend of 30+ years, to court in April 2025. In her $5 million lawsuit, Hylton accused Blige of trying to sabotage her business relationship with rapper Vado. Hylton accused Blige of stealing her artist, breaching contracts, and causing monetary damage.
Responding to Hylton’s lawsuit, Blige’s lawyer Lisa F. Moore stated:
“Plaintiffs and their counsel appear to enjoy fabricating accusations that will be discussed in the press and on social media for the purposes of harassing defendants and trying to coerce a favorable settlement.”
Blige and her legal team also said the alleged contract between Hylton’s firm and Vado is void because her company, M.I.S.A. Management, didn’t legally exist. The defendants also claimed that Vado himself failed to meet the requirements of his record deal with Blige’s Beautiful Life Productions.

On Tuesday (January 6), a New York judge dismissed the lawsuit. Judge Pahedra F. Perry-Bond said Hylton’s failure to respond to Blige’s motion to dismiss “constitutes the abandonment” of her claims. The judge wrote:
“The court in no way condones parties filing lawsuits claiming millions in damages based on inflammatory accusations, only to have those very same parties abandon their allegations when faced with a motion to dismiss and sanctions. Plaintiffs and their counsel shall consider this a warning to refrain from engaging in similar patterns of behavior in the future. This written warning may serve as weighty evidence on a future application for sanctions if plaintiffs and/or their counsel continue to engage in similar bad faith litigation tactics.”
Following the judge’s dismissal of her lawsuit against Blige, Hylton has spoken out. Reporter and ‘The Breakfast Club‘ host Loren Lorosa exclusively obtained the statement that read:
“Over the years, there have been people very close to me who have hurt me deeply, and I chose not to pursue them even when I could have, and maybe should have. That reflection led me to ask myself why I would choose a different path for someone I once called my sister. Through this experience, I learned that mixing family, friendship, and business is not always wise, and that even in painful moments there are meaningful lessons to be learned. While I don’t agree with everything that was done, I chose peace. This entire ordeal has taken a significant toll on my mental health and has caused me to reflect deeply on life, memories, relationships, and their true purpose and meaning. I pray for healing for all of us.”
