" Chicago Bulls guard Derrick Rose has been sued by an ex-girlfriend over allegations that he and two friends drugged her at his Beverly Hills home and later sexually assaulted\u00A0her while she was incapacitated.\u00A0 The woman, known only as Jane Doe in court filings, says she dated Rose from 2011 until August 2013, the time of the alleged incident. According to TMZ, the plaintiff says Rose and two friends, Ryan Allen and Randall Hampton\u2014who is also Rose&amp;#039;s manager\u2014lured her to the NBA star&amp;#039;s house, where they snuck a drug into her drink with the intent of date raping her. She says a friend helped her escape\u00A0and return to her own home where she continued to feel the drug&amp;#039;s effects. Later that night, she alleges\u00A0Rose and his friends broke into her apartment and gang raped her while she was still incapacitated: &amp;quot;She says she remembers only &amp;#039;flashes&amp;#039; of the incident,&amp;quot; reports TMZ, &amp;quot;But can remember the defendants forcibly raping her.&amp;quot; Rose responded Thursday through his lawyer, Lisa Cohen, who said\u00A0that the lawsuit is\u00A0&amp;quot;an attempt to\u00A0shake down a\u00A0highly respected and successful\u00A0athlete&amp;quot; and the latest of a number of attempts on the plaintiff&amp;#039;s part to extort money from the athlete. Cohen added that the two were in a\u00A0&amp;quot;non-exclusive, consensual sexual relationship for over two years.&amp;quot; She also emphasized that there were never any complaints in the two years since the incident until now. For her part, the plaintiff claims she waited two years to file suit because she was &amp;quot;ashamed and embarrassed&amp;quot; and concerned about how her &amp;quot;conservative family&amp;quot; would react. She is seeking unspecified damages. [H/T TMZ] "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
