The original judge for the case had retired during the proceedings, that’s when Wooten took over. In Mississippi a person is allowed to sue someone for breaking up a marriage. Bryant claims that the singer not only ruined his marriage but his personal life as well.

What is odd is the fact that Bryant was already aware that his wife previously had a relationship with Kelly. He claimed that their marriage had been just fine until Kelly decided to step back into the picture.

Back in January, Bryant filed court docs demanding Judge Wooten step down. Bryant claimed that he had originally sought out legal advice from Wooten before hiring his current lawyer. At the time he wanted “to obtain advice on his marriage, the affair that his then-wife was having with R. Kelly, the likely divorce, and whether she would represent him in that divorce, and if he had a cause of action against R. Kelly…In the course of his conversation, Plaintiff shared details regarding his relationship with his then-wife, and this potential suit with then-Attorney Wooten.”

Ultimately the judge declined to represent him following their conversation.
