Claudia Jordan is quickly clearing the record; now, she is doing so with a $4.5 million countersuit of her own. The media personality, best known for her work on television and radio, is fighting back fiercely against allegations that she has been involved in everything from drug running to witchcraft.
The gonzo allegations were revealed in January 2025 when Regina Coco LaRue filed a shocking $500 million lawsuit against Jordan in the Maryland District Court. Among the accusations are several one might expect to find in a Hollywood thriller rather than a courtroom complaint: defamation, fraud, stalking, and witchcraft.
"Jordan reportedly paid occult organizations to engage in black magic ceremonies against her," LaRue said. She also noted Jordan had defrauded the government with PPP loans and was involved in drug dealing.
Jordan's response? "I have never even met this woman," Jordan writes in her legal filing, accusing the allegations of being "outrageous" and made with "actual malice and knowledge that they are false."
Instead of waiting for the dust to settle, Jordan deliberated about her next step. In the wake of the court's April 14 dismissal of LaRue's amended complaint and 28 days to amend and refile, Jordan struck back with a hefty countersuit. She is asking for $1.5 million in compensatory damages, $3 million for damage to her reputation, plus punitive damages and legal fees.
Her lawyers claim LaRue's Instagram campaign, during which Jordan was accused. LaRue began publishing her defamatory statements earlier this year. Since then, she has dragged Jordan's name through the mud with her baseless accusations, according to Jordan's filing.
So, what links these two women? Very little, Jordan says. The only connection appears to be her former boyfriend, Kendall Dismuke. Dismuke had previously dated Jordan and had a relationship with LaRue's daughter. Still, Jordan says she's never met LaRue's daughter or LaRue.
As for LaRue herself, she bills herself online as a "warrior in the spiritual world," but her legal arguments have commanded attention. Even though a judge has offered her the opportunity to amend her filing, Jordan isn't willing to leave her reputation in the cold.
"I'm not going to be silenced or vilified," she effectively says with her lawsuit. "Enough is enough."
While the situation unfolds, she will not sit by and let baseless claims define her. She has brought her defense from the courtroom into the court of public opinion, and with the kind of unstinting energy that telegraphs, she is not here to cast spells but to clear her name.
