A federal jury has awarded $1.25 million to Cardi B in a defamation lawsuit against a celebrity news blogger who allegedly spread falsehoods about the rapper. Lawyers for Latasha Kebe, known online as Tasha K, say they'll appeal.

“None of the aforementioned statements about Plaintiff are true,” the lawsuit says. “Plaintiff was never a prostitute or a user of cocaine. Plaintiff has never, and does not now, have herpes, nor has she had herpes outbreaks on her mouth.”

The statements caused Cardi B to “suffer embarrassment, humiliation, mental anguish, and emotional distress,” the lawsuit says. They also “caused damage to reputation and character within her profession and industry, including but not limited to among her fans and with prospective business relations.”

Cardi B declined and instead “went on a rampage” on Instagram, publishing numerous videos about information in the video and “began to publicly trash” Kebe, saying she “always makes up fake stories; harasses all of Cardi B’s friends; constantly stalks Cardi B; uses Cardi B’s name for ‘click bait’; and many similar accusations,” Kebe’s court filing says.

deuxmoiworld this will be you for defaming Chris's reputation.

Why in the world some people like to slander and defame others, I will never understand. It seems the slanderer paid a price for her behavior. 'Mental anguish' I guess it was not worth the gaslighting

Is it ‘alleged’ when she testified in open court under oath she did knowingly and willfully lied? Asking for a friend…

Remember when $1.25M would last a lifetime?

Hope Cardi doesn’t mind a 100 year payment plan.
