LOS ANGELES, Jan. 31 (UPI) -- The Emmy-award winning makeup artist sued by Snoop Dogg has alleged rape in her own Los Angeles suit against the rapper.

Snoop -- aka Calvin Broadus -- filed a preemptive lawsuit weeks ago, claiming Kylie Bell had targeted him for an extortion scheme with claims of sexual assault, The Smoking Gun reported on its Web site.

Bell, who won a 2002 Emmy for her work on HBO's "Six Feet Under," claims she was drugged in the entertainer's dressing room -- which Bell said was well stocked with marijuana -- following a January 2003 taping of ABC's "Jimmy Kimmel Live." She charges she was then raped by Broadus and four members of his entourage.

ABC, Kimmel's show and the Walt Disney Co. were also named as defendants in the suit. Bell is seeking $25 million in combined damages.
