Former Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson is being sued in Guilford County Superior Court for allegedly falsely suing a local Greensboro man during his 2024 Republican campaign for governor.
Louis Love Money, a Greensboro musician, filed his compliant on May 26th, alleging that Robinson falsely filed suit against him in 2024 when Robinson sued both Money and CNN for defamation, after the cable news network reported that Robinson frequented a porn site online calling himself “Black Nazi.”
Money was accused of alleging that Robinson used to visit a store he owned that featured pornography.
Robinson held press conferences declaring that he was being defamed by Money and CNN, and announced that he was suing them for $50 million, only to later drop that suit against both defendants.
Louis Money says in his complaint that because Robinson dropped the complaint when it became apparent that the pornography allegations were true, that led to abuse of the legal process and malicious prosecution. There was never a legal basis for Robinson to ever file a lawsuit against him, and that the only reason he did so was for political advantage during the campaign.
Robinson later admitted on a recent podcast interview that he did indulge in pornography during his younger years..
“The lawsuit was never truly about money or about any supposed deep-state conspiracy, artificial intelligence, or pornographic video allegedly purchased in the 1990s or early 2000s,” Money’s lawsuit states. “Instead, the lawsuit appears to have been political theater, using the court system as part of an election strategy.”
And because there was no truth to Robinson’s lawsuit, Money alleges that he was forced to incur “significant” legal costs to defend himself. Now, he seeks more than $25,000 in damages, along with attorneys’ fees and other punitive and compensatory relief from a jury.
