*A woman claiming to be Scottie Pippen’s former girlfriend has filed a $250 million lawsuit against the NBA superstar and the Chicago Bulls.
According to Baller Alert, Chyvette A. Valentine initiated legal action in Cook County, Illinois, seeking to hold Scottie accountable for her purported distress endured for over three decades.
Per the complaint, Valentine accuses Scottie, brother Carl T. Pippen, and the Chicago Bulls of a history of harassment, sexual assault, harassment, and even involvement in the death of her son. She claims the Bulls engaged in “blatant disregard for the law and basic human decency.”
Valentine asserts that she had a sporadic relationship with Scottie from 1987 to 1993. They broke up following an incident where she was sexually assaulted by the Pippen brothers, resulting in the birth of her deceased son, Devonte Pippen. Baller Alrter reports that Devonte was murdered in 2011.
Following the end of their relationship, Valentine claims Scottie, using his status with the Chicago Bulls, continuously tormented her, causing mental and emotional anguish.

She alleges Scottie’s purported stalking caused her to lose housing, employment, and jobs. When she tried to report the incidents to the police, the complains claims Scottie used his connections and celebrity status to quash her requests. Additionally, she contends that he utilized his medical affiliations to fabricate reports about Valentine, depicting her as “mentally unstable.”
As Baller Alert reports, citing the legal filings, Valentine is pursuing $250 million in damages through a jury trial, alleging a range of offenses, including stalking, harassment, emotional distress, death threats, and defamation. She is also seeking child support for her deceased son from the Chicago Bulls, Scottie Pippen, and his family.
“Over the past 30 years and counting, I have endured a series of tormenting acts perpetrated by Scottie Pippen, Carl T. Pippen, and Larsa Pippen, with the Chicago Bulls organization failing to address or rectify the situation. These acts include stalking, harassment, and rape, among others,” Valentin wrote in a heartfelt letter, according to Baller Alert.
“Despite my repeated attempts to seek recourse through appropriate channels, the Chicago Bulls organization has negligently allowed these crimes to persist unchecked,” she added.
Valentin accuses the Pippen family of causing her “deep emotional suffering, physical injury, and irreversible harm.”
