“It was a super sad case,” Frank’s attorney says

Frank Ocean has won the libel suit that his father, Calvin Cooksey, filed against him earlier this year, Law360 reports and one of his attorneys has confirmed to Pitchfork. The lawsuit was in response to Frank’s 2016 Tumblr post that described his father using a gay slur when Frank was a child, which Cooksey claimed cost him “future financial opportunities” and more. He was seeking $14.5 million in damages. Frank’s attorney, Keith Bremer, confirmed to Pitchfork that the judge ruled in Frank’s favor. After announcing his decision from the bench on Tuesday afternoon, the judge is expected to deliver a full written decision this week. “It was a super sad case,” Bremer told Pitchfork in a statement. “I am sorry that my client had to go through this and am glad that we could bring closure.”
