Relli claims on account of the alleged assault on him, he acquired a number of loss of life threats and has been the topic of ridicule. He’s asking for unspecified damages.
As for Rocky … his case remains to be pending. He has pled not responsible.
Joe Tacopina tells TMZ … “This is actually nothing more than a publicity stunt which is going to backfire badly. I more than welcome this lawsuit especially because the resolution of the criminal case has not happened yet. This opens up this extortionist to depositions under oath now before the resolution of the criminal case. It will expose the fraud he committed and unfortunately for his lawyers, it will cause them to be responsible for legal fees in this case. They don’t know the facts of this case or the actions taken by their client. But, I will be more than happy to educate them.”
