[READ: Derek J Faces Stolen Weave Lawsuit! Meet His Accuser… (PHOTOS)]

It was just a little over a month ago that Derek J. and his attorney in the case, Phaedra Parks of The Real Housewives of Atlanta, were in court facing the accusations of Benita Williams, a woman claiming that he’d ‘stole’ her weave right out of her head (click HERE if you missed that).
