In yet another attempt to discredit the credibility of the accuser in his alleged rape case, Derrick Rose is implying that she had sexual relationships with "lots of celebs," and "at least 2 NBA players," including Nick Young, perTMZ Sports. According to court documents, Rose's team points out the following text exchange between Jane Doe and her roommate from November 2014: "since u goin to nicks can u please tell him to give u my bra lol." Rose claims her roommate confirmed that the Nick mentioned in the text is the Los Angeles Lakers guard.  

Rose's latest defense comes weeks after damning new information in the New York Knicks point guard's alleged rape case surfaced. Text messages showed D-Rose asking Jane Doe to have a foursome with him, his friend and personal manager Randall Hampton, and Hampton's girlfriend. A request that she says he repeatedly made. When the woman asked him flat-out via text, "So you want me to fuck your friend?," Rose admitted, in his deposition, that he replied, "Man, he just like my brother. That won't affect our relationship."

Those texts, along with his admissions in the deposition, where he admitted that if a foursome were to occur, "(it) would have been cool," haven't helped Rose, who, along with Hampton and Ryan Allen, are being sued for $21.5 million. The woman is claiming that the three of them allegedly broke into her apartment and gang raped her while she was incapacitated in 2013. The trial is set for October 4. As of now, neither the Knicks nor the NBA have commented on the ongoing case. We'll continue to update this story as more details become available.
