The NHL legend filed the swimsuit in Los Angeles County this week — some three years after Veera Mahajan sued him for his alleged position within the demise of a weight reduction gum enterprise known as “OMG.”
In her ’22 lawsuit, Mahajan mentioned she invested within the co. after Gretzky had claimed he misplaced 35 kilos in a couple of weeks from chewing on the product. She claimed Wayne later admitted that he lied in regards to the weight reduction — and it tanked the biz. She sued for fraud and was in search of unspecified damages.
Gretzky fought the lawsuit and in 2024, she filed to dismiss the case … and the previous hockey participant claims she needed to fold as a result of the lawsuit was frivolous to start with.
Gretzky mentioned he by no means lied about dropping the burden — and he contended he was actually not the explanation the enterprise failed. He’s alleging Mahajan solely filed the case as a result of she assumed Gretzky would settle “for hundreds of thousands so as to keep away from potential unfavorable publicity.”
Now Gretzky is suing her for malicious prosecution … and is asking for unspecified damages.
