Cardi B Seizing Tasha K’s YouTube Checks While Awaiting $4M Defamation Judgement: Report

by

The dramatic saga between Cardi B and Tasha K continues. The YouTuber found herself in a tremendously expensive pot of boiling water a few months ago. At the time, a judge ruled that the YouTuber was guilty of defaming the rap diva in her online videos. The former previously alleged that Cardi worked as an escort before finding fame. She also shared stories of using hard drugs and claims that she had contracted an STI. In court, the mother of three denied working in the sex trade or contracting any sort of illness. She also noted the extreme emotional distress caused by Tasha’s allegations, specifically sharing that it resulted in marital problems between her and Offset.

“Only an evil person could do that shit,” the New Yorker said on the stand. She also was candid in revealing that she sought professional help to deal with her mental health after being defamed. Ultimately, Cardi was awarded $1M in general damages, $250K for medical expenses, $1.5M in punitive damages, and finally, $1.3M for her attorney fees. It’s certainly a major win for the Invasion of Privacy hitmaker. Still, it might be some time before she gets her dues in full. According to a report from RadarOnline, Bardi has taken steps to begin seizing Tasha K’s YouTube checks.

Cardi B Demands Her Coins

The former stripper apparently sent subpoenas to both her nemesis’ bank and Google, who oversee Tasha’s ad revenue on YouTube and her website. “YOU ARE HEREBY COMMANDED to immediately hold all money, including wages, and other property, except what is known to be exempt, belonging to the Defendant or obligations owed to the Defendant named above beginning on the day of service of this summons and including the next 1,095 days,” a notice obtained by the outlet reads.

A rep for Google reportedly spoke with the “WAP” rapper about the matter. They revealed that the embattled creator had $9,304.81 in revenue. The former is now taking action with the court so that the funds can be handed to her immediately as she awaits the other $3M+. Do you think Cardi B is out of pocket for seizing Tasha K’s YouTube checks? Let us know in the comments, and tap back in later for more pop culture news updates.

Cardi B Looks To Seize Tasha K’s Property

by

Cardi B reportedly took a huge step towards collecting her $4 million defamation judgement from Tasha K- and it’s not pretty. Moreover, the court reportedly issued a “writ of execution” to the blogger and Kebe Studios LLC in Georgia on Thursday (April 20), according to AllHipHop. Said judgement permits Cardi to seize Tasha K’s property in order to gain the money owed from the rapper’s victorious case. Following a 2019 lawsuit, the court found Tasha guilty of invasion of privacy, defamation, and deliberate infliction of emotional distress in 2022. While she could seize more assets than just property, it’s still quite the aggressive turn for the case.

On that note, people online are split between seeing this as righteous retribution or going a little too far. “I love how Cardi not letting up on Tasha K! Shouldn’t have been talking s**t,” one user wrote on Twitter. Another differed; “I wish Cardi B would let that shid go…. I’m getting so tired of seeing this back and forth shid with Tasha K… Now she tryna take that woman house…. b***h you got money and a few houses Let it tf go!!! Got damn!!!”

Cardi B Wants Her $4 Million Defamation Judgement

Given that Cardi B even checked to see if she got the payment, apparently that wasn’t the case. Also, Tasha K apparently responded to this new development on her Twitter account. Previously, she apologized to the 30-year-old after losing her appeal. Now, her response seemed to lightly refer to her other debts and hinted towards a payment queue. “Look! Sis & Law I Know you need that cause work is slow for all of us right now, but right now, I ain’t got it!” she tweeted. “But let your lawyers know that when I’m up, you gone be up & stuck… You get first dibs after this irs bill gets paid…”

Meanwhile, this is far from the only controversy Tasha K got into with a celebrity, although it’s certainly the most high-profile. For example, R. Kelly claimed that the blogger tampered with witnesses in his case. With all this in mind, hopefully these legal troubles find resolution in more amicable ways. Regardless, come back to HNHH for the latest news and updates on Cardi B and Tasha K. In addition, check out the latter’s apparent response to Cardi potentially seizing her property down below.

FTN Bae Says She Wasn’t In Court For $11 Million Case Against Her Ex Doodie Lo

by

FTN Bae said that her ex Doodie Lo’s recent $11 million win in his defamation lawsuit against her is one-sided and unfair, because she was never even in court in the first place to defend herself. While this sounds weird at first (as cases often default when the defense isn’t present), she had some stronger claims. Moreover, she believes that police and the court set her up to fail and didn’t properly inform her of court dates. Furthermore, she claimed that she didn’t even have an attorney for this ordeal.

“I wasn’t in the courtroom for trial,” she wrote on her Instagram Story. “There was a trial conducted without me to defend myself. Of course I lost, I never got to present my case! It was a one sided case I was set up to be arrested BEFORE trial! These people pulling all the stops just so I can’t TELL MY STORY! BECAUSE I WOULD WIN! I didn’t have an attorney I was standing on my own 10 & the TRUTH! But instead of me getting the opportunity to fight my case I was back doored!

FTN Bae Claims She Couldn’t Defend Herself In Court Against Doodie Lo

“A trial cannot happen if a person involuntarily didn’t show up!” she continued. “It was made to look like I just didn’t show up. That’s how trial happened without me!!!! I was not arrested for lying on trial under oath! I haven’t even ever lied to begin with I’m just getting set up by the police yet again! THIS THE 2nd TIME I WAS ARRESTED ON BS! This Has TO STOP! THE SYSTEM IS SOOOOOOOOOOOO CORRUPT. People do strange things for a lil price of change!“

While we don’t know for sure how many of FTN Bae’s words ring true, Doodie Lo celebrated his win on Instagram. Meanwhile, Bae also got into some trouble with authorities after allegedly stalking Lo almost exactly a year before the ruling. As such, it’s hard to say whether there’s any validity to these claims, but it’s not a pretty situation to investigate. Regardless of your take, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest updates on FTN Bae and Doodie Lo.

Doodie Lo Says He Won $11 Million In Lawsuit Against FTN Bae

by

Doodie Lo has won an $11 million lawsuit against his ex-girlfriend, FTN Bae, after claiming that she spread false allegations that he sexually abused her son. FTN Bae was reportedly arrested and charged with perjury in Miami. Speaking with The Shade Room about the case, Doodie Lo remarked that he’s “so happy” about the result. However, he says he’s unclear when his ex will come up with the money. “She better pay soon,” he added.

Doodie Lo further spoke about his goals for the lawsuit with The Shade Room. “My ultimate goal is to spread awareness to those innocent of false accusations, especially innocent men who have been accused of sexual assault. This issue further highlights the dark side of #MeToo: What happens when men are falsely accused?” he said.

Doodie Lo also confirmed the result of the defamation suit in a celebratory post on Instagram. “This Was A Long Stressful Milestone In My Life,” he said. “Throughout The Trials And Tribulations I Stood Tall After All The Lies And Backlash ‼Special S/O To @arielesq305 My Attorney Was Up Sleepless Nights Answering The Phone Anytime Of The Night I Love My Team STOP PLAYING WITH MY NAME FIRST IN HISTORY JUSTICE FIRST TIME BEING SERVE FROM A SCORN WOMAN WHO TRIEDTO RUIN ME CANCEL HER STAY BLESSED. The 11 We Holding Up IS FOR 11 MILLION.”

FTN Bae made the allegations back in 2021. At the time, Doodie announced that she made “several recordings” of her 5-year-old son making the allegations and “taunted” him with the recordings before going public. He labeled the accusations “false, defamatory and injurious” before later filing his defamation lawsuit. Doodie’s lawyer spoke about FTN Bae’s case during a live stream with his client on Instagram at the time. “If there was something against my client there would be a case open. There is not a case open. Young lady I really feel bad for her, I feel bad for her son because this is just not ok honestly,” they said, as noted by Hollywood Unlocked. “For her to say these things with no evidence, for her to put these things out there all because she’s upset, all because things didn’t work out her way. You can’t just lie on people without consequences.”

Andrew Tate Threatens To Sue Alleged Victim For $300 Million For Defamation

by

Andrew Tate threatened to sue an alleged victim for 249 million pounds for defamation after she accused him of rape and human trafficking. Meanwhile, he and his brother are currently behind bars in Romania on related charges following a December arrest. Moreover, the woman’s U.S. lawyers claim she received a cease and desist letter from him and his brother in December. To clarify, Tate’s threatened lawsuit equals $300 million in U.S. currency. What’s more is that the two brothers allegedly threatened to involve the victim’s family in the lawsuit as well.

Furthermore, a Romanian court recently found that Tate seemingly brainwashed women who worked for him and denied any trafficking. In addition, the brothers denied all claims and filed legal action against two women in Romania last April. While this occurred before Tate’s arrest, authorities believe he tried to intimidate witnesses and prevent any revelations.

“In April 2022, you falsely stated to a third party that our Client [Andrew Tate] human trafficked you, abused you and held you against your will,” the cease and desist letter read. “You have repeated false and defamatory statements to the police, the media, and another United States citizen about the Tate brothers.” On the other hand, lawyer Benjamin Bull said his client is a key witness against Tate in this legal battle. As such, he believes this letter is an egregious attempt to silence testimonies. “They want these young ladies to climb into a hole and hide, never come forward [or] describe what they saw and what happened to them,” he stated. Bull works for the National Centre on Sexual Exploitation in the U.S. “It’s clearly an effort to intimidate.”

Meanwhile, lawyers from Tate’s team confirmed the letter’s existence, but denied any such intimidation. In other news, officials took much of Tate’s assets after raids on his Romania properties. While the six alleged victims in the case who will testify are anonymous, they received huge hatred and even death threats from Tate supporters online after their identities leaked online. Also, no one brought specific charges against the brothers yet, but they remain in preventative custody as authorities investigate. Regardless, come back to HNHH for the latest news and updates on Andrew Tate.

Amber Heard Explains Decision To Settle Johnny Depp Case

by

Amber Heard has announced that she will be settling her defamation case against Johnny Depp. The actress explained the “very difficult decision” in a statement posted on Instagram, Monday morning.

“It’s important for me to say that I never chose this,” Heard chiefly wrote in her statement. “I defended my truth in doing so my life as I knew it was destroyed. The vilification I have faced on social media is an amplified version of the ways women are re-victimised when they come forward.”

Heard defamation trial, brought by Johnny Depp against his ex-wife Amber Heard, concluded today and jury deliberations begin. (Photo by Drew Angerer/Getty Images)

“Now I finally have an opportunity to emancipate myself from something I attempted to leave over six years ago and on terms I can agree to,” she continued. “I have made no admission. This is not an act of concession. There are no restrictions or gags with respect to my voice moving forward.”

It’s unclear how big the settlement is; however, a source close to Depp tells PEOPLE it’s “a seven-figure settlement.”

They added: “The judgment is in place. But part of the point of appealing it for her was both the financial reasons but also to ensure there wasn’t a judgment in place against her — that has significant ramifications. This judgment is never going away. Depp has said it wasn’t about money. He just wanted the truth.”

A jury had previously found that Heard defamed Depp in her op-ed about domestic violence. The court awarded him more than $10 million in damages. Heard later decided to appeal the defamation verdict back in November.
