PONTIAC, MICHIGAN: In an astonishing turn of events, a unique legal battle has erupted in Michigan as a transgender woman has filed a lawsuit against her ex-boyfriend claiming that the latter is withholding her surgically removed testicles, alleging that he has preserved them in a Mason jar inside his refrigerator. The unfolding legal drama presents a perplexing mix of claims, accusations, and contrasting narratives between the two parties.
Who is Brianna Kingsley?
Brianna Kingsley, a 40-year-old transgender woman, has filed a lawsuit against her ex-boyfriend, William Wojciechowski. The crux of the lawsuit centers around Kingsley's claim that Wojciechowski is withholding her surgically removed testicles, alleging that he has preserved them in a Mason jar inside his refrigerator. The details of the case are outlined in an affidavit obtained by The Detroit News.
Kingsley's claim against Wojciechowski seeks the return of her surgically extracted testicles, emphasizing the bizarre nature of the demand. Kingsley's request also includes a demand for damages totaling $6,500. The affidavit contains Kingsley's own words, in which she asserts, "Defendant retains possession of my surgically extracted testicles, preserved in Mason jar kept in [the] fridge next to the eggs. Demand immediate return of my human remains specimen and damages of $6,500."
Legal maneuvers
Kingsley lodged her claim, accompanied by the handwritten affidavit, at Michigan's 50th District Court in Pontiac. The court office manager confirmed the receipt of the filing, further cementing the surreal nature of the case. However, Wojciechowski reportedly learned about the court filing only after he was contacted for comment on the matter. This revelation underscores the unique circumstances surrounding the lawsuit.
In response to the lawsuit, Wojciechowski expressed surprise and offered his perspective on the situation. He alleges that Kingsley's claims are part of a larger pattern of harassment that he has endured since their breakup eight months earlier in December. Wojciechowski disputes Kingsley's allegations and paints a different picture of the events surrounding their separation.
Disputing ownership and harassment allegations
Wojciechowski contends that Kingsley retrieved all her belongings when they parted ways, implying that he has no obligation to return any items. He argues that the claims made in the lawsuit are a continuation of a campaign of harassment that he asserts Kingsley initiated after their relationship ended. Moreover, Wojciechowski asserts his intention to incorporate Kingsley's latest legal move into his own ongoing legal actions against her.
To substantiate his harassment allegations, Wojciechowski provided evidence of a personal protection order he obtained against Kingsley in December 2022 from the Oakland County Circuit Court. This legal document prohibits Kingsley from purchasing firearms, having any form of contact with Wojciechowski, and interacting with him via social media. This order reflects Wojciechowski's claims of sustained harassment and serves as a backdrop to the ongoing legal clash.
Social media video and past convictions
In a TikTok video posted in April 2022, titled "The unboxing of Dees Nuts," Kingsley seems to playfully address her gender transition. The video features the ACDC song "Big Balls" and depicts Kingsley interacting with a box that reportedly contains her surgically removed testicles. This social media content adds a layer of complexity to the case.
Kingsley's legal history is also notable, as she pleaded guilty to misdemeanor assault in 2020 for an incident that occurred in December 2019. During the altercation, Kingsley brandished a knife during a domestic argument with her roommate, another transgender woman. “In the kitchen, Kingsley grabbed a knife with a 6-inch blade and told the victim to leave the house,” police stated. “When the victim didn’t immediately comply, the suspect held the knife above her head in a threatening manner.” At the time, Kingsley had outstanding warrants for assault, obstructing police, and drunk driving, per the Royal Oak Tribune.
