A Manhattan judge dismissed a lawsuit filed by stylist Misa Hylton against Mary J. Blige on January 6, 2026, citing abandonment of claims after Hylton failed to respond to a motion to dismiss. The judge warned Hylton against future bad faith litigation tactics. The suit accused Blige of interfering with Hylton's management of rapper Vado.
