Ciara's $15 million dollar defamation lawsuit against her ex and baby daddy Future is now in court.

She is suing him specifically for slander (spoken) and libel (written) for comments he made about her as a mother on the radio and on social media.

According to the Jasmine Brand, things will get dramatic next week when Ciara's lawyers depose Future under oath. Under the penalty of perjury, he will have to answer questions on child support, his tweets about Ciara and even Russell Wilson.

Ciara is alleging that Future spoke and wrote ill of her to help promote and sell his music.

In a countersuit that Future filed last month, he says he couldn’t have possibly damaged Ciara’s rep because she no longer has one to damage.

Now all the shade will be in the hands of a judge and jury.
