The parents of black Olympic gold medalist Tianna Madison have sued her, saying that she spread stories that they had been selfish and bullying and cheated her financially

Robert and Jo Ann Madison filed the libel, slander, and defamation lawsuit in Cleveland. They say that they've been loving, supportive, and generous parents. Tianna Madison was on the winning 4x100-meter relay track team at the Summer Olympics in London. She won the gold with Allyson Felix, Bianca Knight, and Carmelita Jeter in world record time. The lawsuit also names her husband, John Bartoletta. The parents' lawsuit seeks more than $25,000 each in compensatory and punitive damages.
