Wow, Cuba Gooding Jr.’s Lawyer Launches #NotMe Movement

The defense lawyer representing Cuba Gooding Jr. has launched a #NotMe movement after a judge denied his request to dismiss the actor’s misdemeanor forcible touching and sex abuse case.

The actor was accused of squeezing a woman’s breast inside the Magic Hour Rooftop Bar in NYC.

In the court’s decision, the judge wrote: “The court finds the defendant has failed to meet his burden of setting forth compelling reasons to warrant dismissal.”

Cuba’s attorney Mark Heller, responded, “After fifty years of defending innocent, falsely accused and unfairly prosecuted defendants, I am igniting the ‘Not Me Movement’ (#NotMe).'”

The lawyer also argued in court papers that Cuba’s accuser has “certain mental characteristics” that make her likely to fabricate allegations.

According to court docs, the woman once wrote on social media that her “brain was one big fat mess…Some people are scared of others and want nothing more to be invisible. I am not that type of person. I am starving to be seen.”

While some were blaming Mark for “victim shaming,” others applauded him. We guess we’ll just have to see how the case pans out.
