The YouTuber found liable for defaming Cardi B must post a $3.8 million bond while she appeals the defamation judgement made against her earlier this year, a judge has ruled.
However, lawyers for Latasha Kebe have been given the option to submit new arguments as to why that shouldn’t happen.Kebe was sued by Cardi B – real name Belcalis Almanzar – over various claims that were made about the rapper in her YouTube videos.
That included, legal papers said, that Almanzar “was a prostitute … was a user of cocaine … had and still has herpes … had and still has HPV … engaged in a debasing act with a beer bottle and … committed infidelity”.A jury found Kebe liable for defamation back in January, awarding the rapper nearly $4 million in damages.
Kebe is now in the process of appealing that judgement, and has asked the Eleventh Circuit appeals court to overturn the ruling, arguing that it was never proven in court that she acted with actual malice when making her videos about Almanzar and that the exclusion of evidence about the rapper’s character in court resulted in a “very lopsided” hearing.As that appeal has been set in motion there’s been a side debate as to whether Kebe should post a bond to cover the damages that Almanzar was awarded.
