Last Spring, singer and reality tv star Teairra Mari claimed she was publicly humiliated when her ex boyfriend Akbar Abdul-Ahad posted a video of a sex tape he filmed when the two were together. Later, his friend, rapper 50 Cent shared the video on his own page.
As a result, in addition to her lawsuit against her ex, Mari also sued 50 Cent. According to The Blast, Mari argued that the rapper sexually objectified, threatened and intimidated, humiliated and degraded her by posting the video.
But a Los Angeles judge dismissed all claims against the rapper. And to add insult to injury, he ordered that Mari pay 50 Cent $30,618.
It’s a far cry from the $161, 660. 15 50 Cent was requesting from the judge to cover his legal bill. But the judge granted him $30,618 for the legal bills associated with fighting off her lawsuit.
Mari argued that 50 posting the video with the caption, “Get the strap,” could have been a call to action for his fans to potentially harm her. Mari says 50 changed the filter on the video to highlight the appearance of semen on her face.
50 denied the allegations claiming that by the time he posted, the Teairra’s likeness was all over the internet. He demanded the lawsuit be thrown out of court because the image didn’t show Teairra’s genitals or her involved in a sexual act.
