Andy Kennedy, coach to the Ole Miss Basketball team, who was charged with misdemeanor and assault by the police for an incident that took place in December during which he allegedly punched a cab driver, has decided to retaliate. He sued the driver and a restaurant valet who came forward as a witness for defamation of character. His lawsuit seeks an excess of $25,000 for the alleged damage to his reputation.
On Friday, in response to Kennedy's lawsuit, the Hamilton County Court of Common Pleas filed a counter-claim against the star coach and his wife Kimber Kennedy for initiating a frivolous lawsuit. In addition to this, the cab driver, Mohamed Moctar Ould Jiddou is suing Kennedy for assault and ethnic intimidation.
