Kim Kardashian is facing a lawsuit over a social media blunder. The SKIMS founder had accidentally labeled the wrong man as a death row inmate in a post, as reported by TMZ.
The individual suing her is Ivan Cantu, a project manager from New York. Cantu claims Kim mistakenly tagged him as someone on death row in a Texas prison.
In February 2024, Kim shared a photo of the wrong Ivan Cantu while attempting to raise awareness for the case of another inmate with the same name.
Ivan said that this error has caused him significant public embarrassment, shame, ridicule, and disdain directed at him. He is pursuing legal action against Kim for libel and slander. He is claiming that the incident has caused him considerable emotional distress, insomnia, headaches, nightmares, and even PTSD, he stated.
He also mentioned that the post damaged his reputation, prompting him to seek medical treatment and emotional counseling.
The death row inmate, Ivan ‘Abner’ Cantu, was executed in February 2024. Although the post was removed, Ivan argues that the harm was already done, given her large following. Now, he’s pursuing legal action against her for financial compensation.
