004 - Why a blogger must pay Cardi B $4 million

One of the best rap lyrics from the last few years is from Cardi B: “people will do anything for clout.”
Blogger Tasha K learned the hard way that clout chasing doesn’t pay.

On the internet, people think they can say whatever they want and get away with it. But when you say ridiculous things about other people...and those things bring actual harm to the person about whom you’re speaking, you might be committing defamation.

Cardi B sued Tasha K because she spread lies on YouTube and social media. After a 2 week jury trial, Tasha K was hit with a $4 million verdict for defamation, invasion of privacy (false light) and intentional infliction of emotional distress.

On this episode, we discuss a perfect defamation case, why defamation is a celebrity trend, and what celebrities are gonna do about it.

Exploring the $20 Billion Shake-Up in College Sports: Who Really Wins? - 006

Could the NCAA be on the brink of a financial and cultural revolution in college sports? Brace yourself as we unravel the hefty $20 billion in potential antitrust case settlements that might just redefine what it means to be a student-athlete. In this episode, we dig into the leaked document that's set the collegiate sports scene abuzz, with revelations of a compensation model that could see schools dishing out millions to their players annually. Join me for an in-depth analysis, where we'll tackle the NCAA's strategic maneuvers aimed at securing labor law exemptions from Congress, debate the financial encumbrances awaiting educational institutions, and ponder if the NCAA, the schools, or the athletes themselves should consent to these staggering terms.
As the college sports landscape teeters on the edge of monumental transformation, I bring to light concerns over whether the proposed settlement is merely a delay tactic in resolving deep-seated issues.
Engage with me across social media channels, share your perspectives, and spread the word about this ground-breaking discussion that could change the game forever.
