Talib Kweli Is Suing Jezebel for 'Emotional Distress'


Rapper Talib Kweli is suing Jezebel for emotional distress that he claims we caused him with our 2020 story, “Talib Kweli’s Harassment Campaign Shows How Unprotected Black Women Are Online and Off.” The piece detailed the then-44-year-old rapper’s social media interactions with and about a then-24-year-old student and activist named Maya Moody—interactions that Twitter found warranted his permanent suspension from the platform. He filed his at-times bizarre and indecipherable suit on Thursday in New York Supreme Court against our parent company G/O Media and the piece’s author, Ashley Reese.

Kweli instead claims our story resulted in a “negligent infliction of emotional distress,” one so deep that he “went into a depression state of loss of appetite, sleeplessness, edgy, anxiety, and discomfort around certain women.”

These gossip blogs need to be held accountable for slandering ppl. I support brother Talib in his endeavors.

Don’t care about Kweli much anymore but I’m not mad at this. These bloggers be out here slandering folks and think they can’t get got. It is what it is Major news outlets get sued for less.

Never understood his appeal but that doesn’t mean he is wrong here.

A lot of black women are straight bullies online especially towards black men they deem beneath them in intelligence.

If a woman is constantly challenging you she thinks you are stupid. Women never challenge other women even when they know they are stupid.

 

[KFBF]

Why?

He was harassing the girl on Twitter. The shyt about this being indicative of black women being unprotected online is editorializing and conjecture, but his actions are not.

Didn't she start the harassment? How did it flip?

Certain rap artist should've never joined social media. Everytime you look at Kweli he's going back and forth with either some women or some bytch ass dude (prime example was Hoedot Meta from here)

To be fair. Kweli has been hurting his image online since the Okayplayer days when he went back and forth with Imrickjamesbytch and made it a public spectacle.
