Fatehi through her Advocates Vikram Singh Chauhan, Umair Ahmed and Tanisha stated that Jacqueline made a "false statement" which was "unnecessary and unwarranted". She "unnecessarily dragged the complainant" and "defamed her as she is in the same industry and is fully aware that the business of any artist and their career is solely based on their reputation.

Fatehi alleged that Jacqueline also maliciously attempted to absolve herself from her actions in other criminal proceedings which are absolutely unrelated to the Complainant.
