TMZ broke the story Card Cardi and her sister, Hennessy Carolina, sued 3 people in New York for a dispute in the Hamptons in September 2020. Hennessy and her friends appeared on a Smith Point beach and fell on 3 other beachgoers, one of whom was wearing a MAGA hat. The 3 people claim that Hennessy spat on one of them and showed offensive and threatening behavior. The lawsuit alleges that Hennessy called the group “racists, supporters of MAGA.” They say the term “racist” used against them was defamatory. Play video content 9/6/20 @hennessycarolina / Instagram Cardi, who was not there, posted a video of the altercation on Twitter, claiming that her sister and her friends had been targeted because they were African-American and gay. The video included Hennessy calling the three men racists. The 3 coasters sued for defamation as well as for attack and batteries. A New York judge has just dismissed the case and it is a solid victory for Cardi and Hennessy. With regard to defamation, the judge said that all these were just general insults that did not reach the level of defamation. No, this big pink man was harassing my sister to move her car for no reason and then my sister came back and forth and they stopped when she wiped this phone. They were harassing 2 women! I will catch the right fucking! pic.twitter.com/rLym9O2yIU – iamcardib (@iamcardib) September 6, 2020 @iamcardib As for spitting – the basis for the attack and the battery claim – the judge said that even if he spat through Hennessy’s mouth – there was no evidence that he intended to target any of the plaintiffs. In fact, the judge noted that the plaintiffs never claimed that it was Hennessy’s intention. She scored a great score for Cardi and her sister.
