OR YOU COULD BE HELD LIABLE FOR SLANDER… CLICK FOR MORE!
According to the Washington County Observer-Reporter, Amber Rose is being sued by Wiz Khalifa‘s mother, Katie Wimbush-Polk for defamation. The suit stems from an alleged “profanity-laced” phone call Rose made allegedly accusing Wimbush-Polk of being a negligent parent.
The lawsuit, which was filed July 3, alleges that Rose made a call to a number linked to Wimbush-Polk’s account on June 19. That day, one of Wimbush-Polk’s friends and former employees, Danesa Lectic, had possession of the phone, and her five-year-old niece answered the call. The lawsuit alleges Rose launched into her tirade as soon as the niece answered the call.
When Lectic was finally able to identify herself, Rose continued to speak, alleging Wimbush-Polk had allowed her own daughter, Dorien, to die and was therefore unfit to care for Sebastian, Rose’s son with Khalifa. Dorien, who was Khalifa’s sister, died this past February after suffering from complications due to lymphoma.
Wimbush-Polk is accused of making a call to California child services about Rose, which led Wiz’s ex to apparently make the call in question. In the complaint, Wimbush-Polk says she “made no such report at or around that time.”
Wimbush-Polk’s attorney, says Rose’s call “impute(d) criminality,” which is something that’s “incompatible with her status as a grandmother and her status as a volunteer mentoring at-risk youth,” which, as the Observer-Reporter notes, requires background checks. In the lawsuit, Khalifa’s mother claims Rose’s comments were meant to harm her reputation in her community and that they dissuaded people from wanting to interact with her. Wimbush-Polk is now suing Rose for $50,000 including court costs, interest, punitive and other damages. Neither Rose nor Wiz have responded to the suit.
