Tasha K's Legal Woes Escalate: Judge Sanctions Attorney
10 May
Summary
- Tasha K's attorney must pay Cardi B's legal fees due to citation errors.
- Content violating a non-disparagement agreement was ordered removed.
- Cardi B originally won nearly $4 million in a defamation case in 2022.
A recent court hearing resulted in Tasha K's attorney, Chad Van Horn, being penalized. He was ordered to personally cover some of Cardi B's legal fees due to fabricated or hallucinated legal citations in Tasha K's opposition brief. A corrective filing had already acknowledged these citation problems before the hearing.
The judge also ruled that content violating a non-disparagement agreement must be removed. This agreement, part of Tasha K's bankruptcy settlement, prohibited her from discussing Cardi B or her family. The judge determined that Tasha K's posts about Offset and Stefon Diggs breached this clause.
Cardi B was awarded nearly $4 million in a defamation lawsuit against Tasha K in 2022. Tasha K later filed for bankruptcy, and a repayment plan was negotiated, reportedly reducing the debt but imposing conditions like the non-disparagement clause. Cardi B's legal team argued Tasha K repeatedly violated this agreement through online posts.
