@unwinewithtashak claims BANKRUPTCY!
Cardi B’s $4 million defamation lawsuit has forced blogger Tasha K to declare bankruptcy.
According to The Neighborhood Talk, Tasha K (real name Latasha Transrina Kebe) filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy this week after a judge ordered her to pay nearly $4 million in defamation damages to Cardi.
The Grammy-winning rapper sued the blogger back in 2019 following what she believed was a malicious smear campaign involving several false statements about her, including accusing her of having herpes, using a beer bottle as a sex toy when she was an exotic dancer, working as a prostitute and abusing cocaine.
Bardi was awarded more than $2.5 million in damages and another $1.3 million in legal fees incurred by the rapper when a jury sided with her last January. Per her Chapter 11 filing, though, Tasha lists having only $95 in her Chase Bank account.
A total of her personal property including purses, cars, clothes, engagement ring, and business-related properties all equaled $58,595.56. She currently is not being evicted from her home.
Tasha K attempted to appeal the decision, but a judge decided to uphold the verdict in March. Cardi admitted the case had led to some mental health issues, telling the jury: “I felt extremely suicidal. I felt defeated and depressed and I didn’t want to sleep with my husband… Only an evil person could do that shit.”
