Cardi B was awarded $1.25 million Monday by a jury that agreed with her lawsuit against celebrity blogger Tasha K for defamation, invasion of privacy and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
Tasha K, whose given name is Latasha Kebe, had spread false allegations that Cardi B had herpes, used cocaine and worked as a prostitute.
Cardi B had testified that seeing the false statements on YouTube sent her into extreme anxiety and depression and made her feel “extremely suicidal,” according to Billboard.
