Reportedly, as per the lawsuit, the fan has also alleged that she has sustained physical pain, emotional distress, reputational damage, embarrassment, and harassment from both the media and members of the public following the incident. The statement also mentions, "What has been written off as a joke by many people is a traumatic experience that has significantly impacted my well-being and quality of life. I am seeking justice in the hopes of holding Cardi B accountable for her misdeeds, as no celebrity is above the law".
What was Cardi B's response to a fan's lawsuit against her?
As per reports, Cardi B's legal team has responded, stating, "The filing of a civil case against Ms Almanzar (Cardi B) regarding the two-year-old microphone incident is a transparent and pitiful attempted financial shakedown."
"The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department and the Clark County District Attorney’s Office closed this matter for insufficient evidence a long time ago, but the opportunity to try to make money off of a celebrity was too much for some willing law firm to pass up", the statement said.
