But after Tompkins didn’t respond for four months, the court denied G-Unit Books’ request for a ruling without trial, finding they failed to prove proper service of legal papers. Evidence showed process servers couldn’t confirm she lived at the addresses they tried to serve her, and Tompkins confirmed she hadn’t lived at one since 2015 and never received the lawsuit. The court also rejected media coverage as valid notice. Now, Tompkins can defend herself, but the core dispute — whether she was pressured into signing the contract — remains unresolved.
