Talib Kweli sued Jezebel for the emotional distress he had to go through in 2020 when one of their stories explained his ban from Twitter.
His lawsuit stated that Jezebel’s article used him to show how black men treat black women. He had to undergo a lot of problems including depression, sleeplessness, anxiety, and more. Kweli said that they portrayed him as a monster with a dislike towards black women.
Kweli added that around 500,000 fans, alongside his ex-wife and employees are all black. Meanwhile, a G/O Media spokesperson said,
“Jezebel’s article fairly reported on the controversy which led to the permanent suspension of Talib Kweli’s Twitter account. This suit, filed two years after the story was published, has no merit and the company will be seeking our attorneys fees pursuant to the protections afforded to the press to publish stories about matters of public interest like this one.”
