  Female driver Kim McGee claims she backed out of her contract to shuttle Snoop to the South by Southwest (SXSW) music festival in 2010 after the rapper's tour manager Frank Palomino reportedly turned verbally abusive, and when she reneged on her promise, Palomino allegedly assaulted her at a party hosted by celebrity blogger Perez Hilton.

  According to McGee, Palomino shook her and pulled out several locks of her hair before throwing her to the ground and holding her against her will.

  And now both Snoop and Hilton, real name Mario Lavandeira, Jr. have been named in a new suit for allegedly failing to intervene or cooperate with police detectives, who were investigating the incident.

  McGee filed the documents at the District Court of Travis County in Texas last week and is seeking damages for negligence and false imprisonment.
