Man Sued by Ex-Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson in Pornography Scandal Files Lawsuit Claiming Abuse of Court System

Money says Robinson used a 2024 defamation suit for political gain and seeks more than $25,000 in damages and legal fees.

  • On Tuesday, musician Louis Love Money filed a lawsuit in Guilford County Superior Court against former North Carolina Lieutenant Governor Mark Robinson, accusing him of abuse of process and malicious prosecution.
  • Robinson previously sued Money and CNN for defamation during his 2024 gubernatorial campaign, seeking up to $50 million in damages before voluntarily dismissing the case after losing to Democrat Josh Stein.
  • Money's complaint cites a March 2026 podcast where Robinson acknowledged an "obsession" with pornography, contradicting his 2024 campaign denials that allegations of his porn shop visits were false.
  • According to Money's complaint, Robinson used the court system as "political theater" to influence voters rather than pursue legitimate legal claims during his election bid.
  • Money is seeking more than $25,000 for litigation expenses and attorney fees he incurred defending himself, plus other awards the court deems just and proper.
