Tasha K was found guilty of spreading rumors on the internet saying that the Grammy-winning rapper had a “sexually transmitted disease, would penetrate herself with beer bottles while dancing at strip clubs, was a drug abuser, cheated on her husband Offset, and was a prostitute,” HotNewHipHop reports.
We previously reported that Cardi B testified on Thursday (Jan. 13) that Tasha K’s blog posts made her feel suicidal, per TMZ. She broke down in tears after repeating that the blog posts made her consider harming herself.
In addition to the defamation, “the jury also held Kebe liable for invasion of privacy through portrayal in a false light, and intentional infliction of emotional distress. Kebe’s attorneys can challenge the verdict to the judge in the weeks ahead. If he upholds it, her attorneys can then appeal the verdict to a federal appeals court,” HotNewHipHop reports.
Cardi B has not publicly made a statement regarding the result of the suit.
