Tasha K Launches GoFundMe To Pay Cardi B $3.5M Judgment
The legal drama between Tasha K and Cardi B is heating up again.
And this time, it looks like Cardi’s legal team is turning up the pressure.
THE $3.5 MILLION PROBLEM
As many fans remember, Tasha K was hit with a massive $3.5 million defamation judgment after a jury ruled that her claims about Cardi B were false and damaging.
Since losing the case, Tasha has continued posting videos online where she mocked Cardi and joked about not paying the judgment.
But according to sources speaking with Media Take Out, Cardi’s lawyers are now aggressively moving to collect the money.
CARDI’S TEAM COMES AFTER TASHA
Insiders say Cardi’s attorneys have recently taken steps to intensify enforcement of the judgment, meaning Tasha could face additional legal consequences if the debt remains unpaid.
That pressure appears to have pushed Tasha into a new strategy.
TASHA K STARTS A FUNDRAISER
In a surprising move, Tasha has now launched a GoFundMe campaign asking her supporters to help her pay the multimillion-dollar judgment.
“For years many of you have asked me to start a fundraiser to help me pay off the judgment against me,” Tasha wrote.
“I always refused because I believed it was my responsibility to handle it on my own. But after many conversations with you all, I’m finally listening.”
She explained that the goal of the fundraiser is to pay down the debt and move forward.
“This fundraiser is being created for one purpose only, to pay down the judgment debt so I can close this chapter and move forward without constant legal distractions.”
WILL FANS HELP?
The internet reaction has been mixed. So far she’s raised around $6,000. So it’s not clear that she’ll ever get there.
Some supporters say they are willing to contribute to help the blogger recover from what they view as a crushing legal penalty.
Others argue that because the case involved defamatory statements, it is Tasha’s responsibility to pay the judgment herself.
CARDI’S LEGAL WIN STILL STANDS
For Cardi B, the case was a major legal victory that reinforced the seriousness of spreading false claims online.
Whether Tasha K’s supporters will raise enough money to significantly reduce the judgment remains to be seen.
But one thing is clear.
That $3.5 million bill is not going away anytime soon.
