The lawsuit claims infamous video purchased by the Star showing the mayor in a drunken rant saying hes going to kill someone and rip his f---ing throat out is about Scott McIntyre. By: Jane Gerster <http://www.thestar.com/authors.gerster_jane.html> Staff Reporter, Published on Wed Jan 29 2014 Description: Mayor Rob Ford gets into a heated discussion Eednesday during a special budget meeting at City Hall. Mayor Rob Ford <http://www.thestar.com/yourtoronto/robford> is being sued by his sisters former common-law spouse for his alleged involvement in a jailhouse assault. Scott MacIntyre, who is a long-time drug addict and former common-law spouse of the mayors sister Kathy, filed a statement of claim against the mayor and football coach Payman Aboodowleh alleging both were indirectly involved in MacIntyres March 2012 assault. No statement of defence has been filed. MacIntyre <http://www.thestar.com/news/gta/2013/11/09/rob_ford_jailhouse_beating_came_ because_man_was_a_bother_to_mayor_dimanno.html> s leg was broken and his teeth busted in the incident, which was investigated but no charges ever laid. The lawsuit alleges MacIntyre wrote Kathy a letter on Jan. 27, 2012 which Ford then perceived as a threat to disclose Fords drug and alcohol abuse and association with criminals causing him to become highly agitated and conspire with Aboodowleh to send a firm message to (MacIntyre) to prevent him from doing so. The lawsuit also alleges that an infamous video <http://www.thestar.com/news/gta/2013/11/07/mayor_rob_ford_caught_in_video_r ant.html> showing the mayor in a drunken rant saying hes going to kill someone and rip his f---ing throat out is about McIntyre. Aboodowleh, an assistant coach for Fords summer football team, the Rexdale Raiders, met with the mayor March 19, 2012 and recorded the video, the statement of claim alleges. The March 2012 beating came two months after MacIntyre broke into Fords home on Jan. 11, 2012, later threatening to kill the mayor, according to court transcripts. During MacIntyres June 2012 sentencing, Justice Paul French called the beating jailhouse justice, telling the court: (I) infer that the (beating) was visited upon Mr. MacIntyre because of his being a bother to Mr. Ford. Fords lawyer, Dennis Morris, denied that the mayor conspired to have Scott McIntyre attacked in prison. Its very irresponsible and spurious to say he did, Morris said. When asked about McIntyres allegation that the mayor was caught on video threatening to kill him, Morris replied: He denies that he was going to kill anybody. Morris, who was present in council chambers throughout the afternoon, said he has not yet had an opportunity to discuss with Ford the allegations in detail. He hasnt said much because hes been busy all day, Morris said. Morris, who is a criminal lawyer, said the mayor is in the process of retaining a civil litigation lawyer to handle the matter. Councillor Doug Ford has so far declined to comment on the fresh allegations his brother faces, blowing past the crush of reporters gathered outside the mayors office on Wednesday before returning to budget deliberations. But Councillor Joe Mihevc said the mayors latest legal troubles divert attention away from crafting a good operating budget for Toronto residents. This is the time for us to discuss the big picture issue of how the citys going to develop, what programs to put in place. Thats what budgets are all about. Once again, we are not focused on the business of council.
