Cardi B and her sister are being sued for defamation by a group of New York beachgoers they called ‘racist MAGA supporters’ on social media.
In a video posted on Instagram, the singer’s sister, 24-year-old Hennessy, was seen engaging in an argument with two men and a woman.
The video was later posted on Cardi’s Twitter page, where she accused the beachgoers of targeting her sister and her girlfriend Michelle Diaz ‘because they are a Afro/Hispanic gay couple.’
Cardi added: “My sister couldn’t even park her car today without this man harassing her girlfriend soon as the camera came out they started being sweet. TGIS (sic) BRAVENESS IS COMING FROM THEIR LEADERS ENERGY.”
“Meanwhile not only you got racist (MAGA) supporters that are [lynching], racist cop shootings and killing black men all cause their leader make them feel like they could do so.”
According to ABC7, Cardi, Hennessy and Diaz have been named as defendants in the lawsuit.
Attorney John Ray said: “These peaceful Suffolk County residents were quietly enjoying a Sunday at the Smith Point beach with their families, when rap celebrity Hennessy Carolina suddenly approached them, raging, spitting, insulting, assaulting, defaming and threatening them, all the while videotaping them because one of them wore a MAGA hat,’ beachgoers’.point 510 |

He added: “Then Hennessy, Cardi B and celebrity model Michelle Diaz deviously edited the videotape and published the edited version all over social media, across the world for all to see, and maliciously falsely labeled these residents and their families as ‘N…s’ and as racists.”
Attorney Ray also claimed the beachgoers are now living ‘in fear’ and their reputations ‘have been ruined’ after threats were made.
