A former Philadelphia police officer has sued Amazon, Roc Nation, Meek Mill and others, claiming she was defamed in a documentary that premiered last year about the rapper's high-profile clashes with the city's legal system.

Ex-police officer Sequeta Williams has filed suit in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, alleging she was defamed in an episode of "Free Meek," a documentary series that was made available on Amazon Prime last year. The suit, which seeks in excess of $75,000, lists Roc Nation, Jay-Z, Wenner Media and Robert Rihmeek Williams, also known as Meek Mill, as defendants.

According to the 33-page complaint, which Philadelphia attorney Steven Marino of Marino & Associates filed Tuesday, the problematic area in the documentary occurred when a photograph of Sequeta Williams appeared as Defender Association of Philadelphia attorney Bradley Bridge and a journalist from Rolling Stone spoke about a list of allegedly problematic police officers that the Philadelphia District Attorney's office maintains. That so-called "Do Not Call" list includes the names of officers that prosecutors do not use as witnesses because their testimony is believed to be unreliable.

Although Williams is included on the DA's so-called "Do Not Call" list, the plaintiff argued that she is not on the list because of any history of dishonesty, but rather for criminal charges that arose after four people tried to mug her and her significant other while she was off duty.
