Rose rape accuser’s ex-friend says she ‘lies about everything’

Knicks star Derrick Rose began his rape defense case in a Los Angeles courtroom with bombshell testimony on Friday — calling a turncoat friend of his accuser to the stand to destroy her as a money-hungry, pathological liar.

The 30-year-old accuser “lies about everything that comes out of her mouth,” Rose’s star witness, Gabriela Chavez, told the federal jury that’s been hearing the sordid, $21 million civil case for a month.

Chavez, a former close pal of the accuser, is now playing for Rose’s side, telling jurors that two weeks after the alleged assault, the woman specifically stated she had not been raped.
