Did He Or Didn't He?

In Touch Weekly's parent company, Bauer Media, is accusing Blake Shelton of giving false testimony in a recent sworn declaration in his lawsuit against the tabloid. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Blake says that he didn't stay at or visit the hotel ME Melia in Cancun, Mexico, as the tabloid's "Rehab" article claimed. Bauer Media claims there is "photographic evidence" that he was at the hotel in question. Shelton also makes it clear that he didn't attend a bachelor party, party with strippers, or go to a strip club during his time in the resort city, and refutes the tabloid's claims of him being promiscuous with women while he was on trip. Shelton filed the $2 million lawsuit in October, seeking in damages over the article which claimed he was headed to rehab and that his heavy drinking contributed to his divorce from Miranda Lambert.

In a memorandum filed by Bauer Media earlier this week, the publisher states, "Shelton resorts to apparent false testimony. He declares that the Article's depiction of his Mexico trip was 'fabricated,' because the 'partying' described at the Hotel ME Melia in Cancun could not have occurred as during his trip he 'did not stay at the hotel ME Melia Cancun or visit it.' Yet, indisputable photographic evidence places Shelton at that very hotel and with the blonde guest described in the Article."

Refuting the tabloid's claims of his promiscuity, Blake says, "I did not kiss any women while I was in Cancun. There was no 'alcohol-fueled rendezvous,' nor did I hook up with any women, let alone multiple women, in my hotel room or anywhere else."

The Instagram photograph in question shows Shelton with his arm around a woman, and a reporter for In Touch claims the photo corroborates the tabloid's story. The reporter cites that the woman in the photo is in a room with "a distinctive tile pattern, lights, drapes and round rug."

Shelton's team says the picture of him with the woman is just a fan photo and doesn't prove that he was inside the hotel in question. One of Blake's reps says that being in the "driveway of the hotel" doesn't mean he actually visited.

So you decide, the above picture is the one in question. Does that make BLale guilty? Drop me your thoughts: john@kicks1063.com
