Kris Humphries Accused Of Spreading Herpes In New Lawsuit

Kris Humphries’ long, slow public relations nightmare seems poised to continue indefinitely. His stupid attempt to have his incredibly famous marriage annulled isn’t anywhere close to the finish line, and now, he’s been hit with a lawsuit for, of all things, allegedly giving some random chick herpes.

According to TMZ, the plaintiff is a woman named Kayla Goldberg, and she wants Humphries held responsible for not informing her about his condition. Her lawsuit alleges the two met first met at the Newsroom Café in Los Angeles two summers ago. After hitting it off pretty well, they allegedly swapped numbers and met up later that night at Trousdale on the Sunset Strip. If her story is to be believed, dancing led to kissing which led to foreplay which led to multiple rounds of hotel sex, both with a condom and without.

About a week later, Kayla woke up to body aches, vaginal irritation, a fever and several other symptoms. She was diagnosed with herpes shortly thereafter and then proceeded to wait two years before filing a lawsuit. You know, because that’s what people do.

Plenty about this lawsuit sounds really shady, but considering most people are willing to embrace any reason to hate Humphries, I wouldn’t bet against Kayla in a jury trial. Not surprisingly, the NBA player hasn’t publically commented on the matter, but when he does, we’ll be sure to bring you his response.
