AceShowbiz - Tasha K, legally named Latasha Transrina Kebe, has been found in civil contempt by a federal bankruptcy judge for repeatedly violating a court-ordered non-disparagement agreement involving rap superstar Cardi B. This latest ruling marks another loss in the ongoing legal battle between the two, with significant consequences for both Tasha K and her attorney.

Following a multi-million dollar defamation lawsuit that Cardi B won against Tasha K several years ago, the blogger filed for bankruptcy, claiming inability to pay the damages awarded. As part of her bankruptcy reorganization plan, Tasha K agreed to a strict, court-approved non-disparagement clause. The agreement barred her from making any negative comments about Cardi B across all platforms, including podcasts and social media timelines.

However, the judge’s recent findings indicate that Tasha K blatantly disregarded these terms. The ruling specifically cited her public comments about not only Cardi B but also members of the "Almánzar Parties" — a legal term encompassing Cardi’s family and inner circle, including her estranged husband, Offset, and NFL star Stefon Diggs.

The court filing details how Tasha K made "thinly veiled commentary" and engaged in "strategic provocation," knowing that her audience of over one million followers would understand the implications. The judge emphasized that these actions directly violated the non-disparagement order, as they targeted Offset and Stefon Diggs, who is legally recognized as a co-parent to one of Cardi B’s children, baby boy Brim, born late last year.

When confronted in court about the offending posts across YouTube, X, Instagram, Facebook, Threads, TikTok, and radio, Tasha K did not deny making them. Instead, her defense was that she had a legal right to express her opinions. The judge quickly rejected this argument, clarifying that once a bankruptcy reorganization plan is confirmed, compliance with its terms is mandatory, regardless of personal intentions.

As a result, Tasha K has been ordered to immediately remove every violating post from all platforms she controls and to cease any prohibited commentary moving forward. The court’s decision makes it clear that any further breaches could lead to even harsher penalties.

Adding a surprising twist to the ruling, Tasha K’s attorney, Chad T. Van Horn, has also been sanctioned. Cardi B’s legal team discovered glaring errors in the attorney’s filings, including what the court described as hallucinated legal citations. The judge penalized Van Horn financially, ordering him to pay sanctions amounting to 10% of Cardi B’s reply-related legal award. This rare sanction against counsel underscores the severity of the case’s mishandling.

Although the judge denied Cardi B’s request for automatic future monetary penalties against Tasha K if she violates the order again, the warning was unambiguous: any repeat violations will trigger more stringent financial consequences. Meanwhile, Cardi B’s legal team continues to pursue the remainder of the original $4 million judgment awarded in the defamation suit.

This latest development highlights the ongoing, contentious, and public nature of the legal feud between Cardi B and Tasha K. Despite the court’s firm stance, Tasha K has repeatedly tested the limits of the non-disparagement agreement, resulting in escalating legal troubles for both her and her lawyer.

For now, the message from the court is clear: Tasha K must comply fully with the non-disparagement terms or face intensified legal consequences. This chapter serves as a stark reminder of the seriousness with which courts treat bankruptcy agreements and the potential fallout from disregarding judicial orders.
