Evander Kane of the Sharks is the target of a $6 million dollar lawsuit filed by a woman who alleges that the 27-year-old star reneged on a promise to compensate her for having an abortion.

The unidentified woman said Kane got her pregnant and he finally coerced her into having an abortion last June by offering her $3 million, TMZ first reported. She alleges that it was the second time Kane forced her to have an abortion and that he has refused to pay her.

Kane, speaking to reporters Thursday morning, dismissed what the woman accused him of doing.

“Just a bunch of B.S.,” Kane said, when asked about the lawsuit. “It’s a baseless accusation, or claim, I guess. For me it’s a dead issue."

“Anybody can say anything they want nowadays,” he added. “I’m not really going to talk about it further, because it’s not going to help me, it’s not going to do any good.”

Kane’s attorney, Paul J. Cambria Jr., vehemently denied the charges and, in a statement released by the Sharks, vowed to fight back against the accusations.

“We’ve received notice of the filing of a lawsuit by someone referred to as Jane Doe alleging a breach of contract against Evander Kane. We firmly believe that this lawsuit is baseless both factually and legally,” Cambria said. “We will aggressively defend this claim in court on Evander’s behalf and assert all applicable counterclaims.”

In the lawsuit, the woman said that Kane not only won’t pay her but also that he’s accused her of extortion. She’s seeking the $3 million she says she was promised, plus another $3 million in damages, including “intentional infliction of emotional distress.”

The lawsuit alleges that Kane began dating the woman in 2015 and since then has gotten her pregnant three times, with her aborting the pregnancies each time. The last two abortions were the result of pressure from Kane, she said.

On the ice, Kane has been terrific with the Sharks since being acquired in a trade with Buffalo in February. He collected nine goals and 14 points in 17 games with San Jose down the stretch last season.

Kane, one of the league’s best young players, was rewarded with a seven-year, $49 million contract by the Sharks in the offseason.

bad word choice?

San Jose is barely in a wild card spot. With Karlsson added they were expected to be a cup contender.

This may not continue, but it's interesting to me to see if the "problems" elevate their new teams or not. So far not.

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

Is this the same girl that came before the senate/house, whatever. 

People suck

"allegedly coercing woman into..." 

This will be interesting to watch play out.

Does anyone know in what court this suit was filed?

I find it interesting that all sources I've seen fastidiously refuse to reveal this.  Since Cambria's involved has to be NY somewhere, right?

Representing pornographers sorta requires that, I imagine.

Interesting, I'd be willing to bet it's there, then, but who knows?

Not for nothing, but this whole thing is a bag full of cats.  I'd love to see the contract in question (I'm sure it doesn't exist, at least in writing) which would have constituted a Felony on Kane's part in many states (mine included, which is what makes me wonder).

IDGAF whether the allegations are true or not. They exist.

I'm so glad this guy is as far away as possible from this team.

Yeah, this doesn't randomly happen to guys minding their own business.

I wonder whether the Sabres knew about this last year and if so whether it influenced their thinking on keeping Kane.

I think they knew enough already to pass on him!

What shape is the horn that gets blown to summon the E. Kane apologists? And where is it located? And what sound does it make?

Idk sounds like the girl from the Kavanaugh case (I don't follow politics). 

I am the person here that may defend E Kane the least, just from the info I know from a couple of years ago that I cannot speak of (we already had that issues once) and I am positive that he's not Mr innocent

 

But with that being said, I am skeptical of these females coming out looking for home run dollars when the timing looks ripe. 

It'll be interesting to see what pans out

Not sure who the apologists are.  I don’t think anyone here thought he was not guilty of poor off ice decision making at the least.

The thread title is misleading and should be changed.

RIGHT!?!?!?! It is alleged but the title makes it sound like it definitely happened.
