ForMr. Morant, hosting local basketball players at his family home isan extension of is investment in Memphis, which tarts with basketball but goes far beyond the court? A. Mr. Marant hosts Counter-Defendant at is familv home, 10. On July 26,2022, Mr, Morant invited Counter-Defendant to play basketball at his family home. 11, Counter-Defendant understood Mr. Morant’s purpose; he acknowledged that Mr. “Morant “was doing some amazing things, and I was just impressed... I'm playing against an all- star, you know?” 12. At some point, though, the game got heated, as pickup games between passionate players often do. 'B. Counter-Defendant starts a fizht and threatens to use a gun, 13. Counter-Defendant, apparently frustrated, threw the ball st Mr. Morant and ‘intentionally hit him in the face. Jn the face with a basketball hurts; fora professional point guard like Mr. Morant, an injury to the eyes or nose could be career ending” 15, To make matters worse, Counter-Defendant then balled up his fists and walked ageressively toward Mr. Morant as ifto attack him.

Ms. Morant and Counter-Defendant immediately were separated by others; witnesses estimate that the enti jon lasted ten seconds, 18. Mr. Morant remained at the court while Counter-Defendant was escorted out by Mr. Morant’s father. 19. As he was leaving, however, Counter-Defendant yelled that he would retum to [Mr. Morant’s] house up lke a firework show,” which witnesses and Mr. Morant understood to bea threat to usea gun. 20. After Mr. Morant received a subsequent threat on Snapchat that appeared to be from CCounter-Defendant, Mr. Morant nd hi ly reported Counter-Defendan’s violent conduct and threats tothe poice* .

The Snapchat post was made by inals are the same as Counter-Defendant's. As of January 9, Snapchat username was "Oficial JHI.” (See PL.'s Resp. Ist Set Interop)23, Probably these false allegations were meant to make up for th fact that Counte- Defeadant, and not Mr. Moran, started a ight and threatened to use a gun. 24, Infact ia this very lawsuit, Counter-Defendant has admitted that he lied about Mr. “Moran's hitting him multiple imes and also ied about someone kicking him 25. Inhis original complaint, fled on September 9, 2022, Counter-Defendant sai that he was punched by Mr, Moran and kicked by a third person while lying on the ground, (Comp. 912627) 26, But last month Counter-Defendant changed his story: In his Amended Complaint, filed on March 28,2023, Counter-Defendant now claims that “one or both” of the defendants— ‘Mr, Morant or someone elso—punched him while he was lying onthe ground and says nothing at all about enyone kicking him, (Am. Compl. 132.) 27, None ofthat stopped Counter Defendant fom telling tes to police after the basketball game or fiom repeating those les when he first filed this lawsuit. D. 28, Six months after Counter-Defendant lied to the police, TMZ. published a story in January 2023 that repeated Counter-Defendant 29, How TMZ leamed about the basketball game and Counter-Defend unclear: At the request of Counter-Defendant and his mother, this lawsuit was sealed September—four months before the TMZ. story was published. (See Plaintiffs’ Sept. 9, 2022, Motion to Seal Complaint) Ja Mor ‘TMZ (lan. 3,30, If Counter-Defendant leaked his lies to TMZ, then he has not only lied but also violated a Court Onder. (See Sept. 15, 2022, Order Granting Motion to Seal Complaint and Documents Filed with the Clerk) 31, Two months after the TMZ story while this case was sill sealed, The Washington ‘Post published a second story sbout the incident that repeated Counter-Defendant’s lies.* 32, According to the story’s author, The Post was told about Counter-Defendant’s les ‘by “a person familiar with the lawsuit, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because it was under eal” 33, The person who spoke with The Pos, like the person who spoke with TMZ, violated a Court Order. 34, National media repeated and amplified the lies of Counter-Defendant 35. The Post story, for example, reported that of the eight affidavits included in police ‘reports about the incident—which, again, were under seal—“faJone of them mentioned & gun.” 36. Bul, infact, one afidavit stated plainly that Mr. Morant did nor retrieve or brandish agun, 37.

Itapplies to the lawyers in this case as well as the partis, also stating that “counsel ‘of record for the party requesting Protected Information is responsible for employing reasonable measures to contol, cor th this Order, duplication of, access to, and distribution of copies 416) 43. Yet one week afte th seal inthis case was patsy Tited, The Post published another story on April 6, 2023. 44. The April 6 story again tracked Counter-Defendant 45. It also contained additional confidential information—tis time unredacted video footage of Counter-Defendant from the Shelby County Sheriff's Office—whose disclosure expressly is bared by statute as well as by Orders ofthis Court See Tenn.

In fact, because of the statutory restrictions, Counter-Defendant obtained the footage from the Sheriff's Office only after his lawyer signed an Agreed Confidentiality Order.
