Don’t expect Kyle Massey to be guest-starring on the That’s So Raven reboot anytime soon. What’s it called again? That’s Even More Raven? Two Scoops of Ravens? Raven Meets World? Let’s just be glad that spin-off Cory in the House got wrapped up before the titular Cory got caught up in a lawsuit alleging the 27-year-old actor tried to seduce a 13-year-old he met when she was four. Page Six reported the details of the lawsuit.
The complaint is for intentional infliction of emotional distress, harmful matter sent with intention of seducing a minor, attempting to commit a lewd act with a minor, and annoying or molesting a minor.
“Annoying” and “molesting” a minor seem very different. I don’t know what legally qualifies as “annoying” someone, but I feel like holding your finger an inch away from someone’s face and going “Not touching, can’t get mad” should be a different statute than sticking that finger in the person’s butt is all I’m saying.
The girl, who was not named due to her age, says she met Massey, now 27, when she was 4 years old. Because she was interested in a career in entertainment, the pair kept in touch and Massey became close with her family. Massey even indicated the girl should come out from Seattle, Wash. and live with himself and his girlfriend in Los Angeles.
She was interested in a career in entertainment, hunh? When I was four I wanted to be Luke Skywalker, but I don’t think my parents would have let me go live with Yoda and Mrs. Yoda. There was a Mrs. Yoda, right? That other Yoda looking thing in The Phantom Menace? I didn’t dream that, did I?
The girl and her mother say Massey “held himself out as a father figure” to her, and their contact increased in November 2018 when the girl indicated she was interested in a role on a rebooted version of “Raven” spinoff “Cory in the House.” About a month later, Massey allegedly requested to be the girl’s friend on Snapchat, and shortly after sent her “numerous sexually explicit text messages, images, and videos.”
This is where things get dicey. We could find out Massey was sending this girl dick pics, but we could also find out he was sending her Twitter memes and someone is suing him for $1.5 million over a picture of Dick Butt. So I’m going to withhold judgement on this one until we know more. But don’t hang out with 4-year-olds, it’s weird and Michael Jacksoney.
