Last month a judge ruled against gossip vlogger Tasha K after she tried to delay payment of the $4 million awarded to rapper Cardi B after Cardi sued Tasha for defamation of character [click here if you missed that].
Now Tasha is demanding a new trial on the grounds that important information about Cardi was not allowed in evidence...

The blogger who was ordered to pay Cardi B $3.8 million for spreading lies about her has demanded the judgment be thrown out — arguing the judge presiding over the trial should have allowed evidence of the singer’s alleged gang ties, RadarOnline.com has learned.
According to court documents obtained by RadarOnline.com, Tasha K has demanded the appellate court vacate the verdict and allow for a new trial to take place.
Tasha filed her appeal to the judgment claiming it was improper. In newly filed documents, she lays out her argument on why she believes a new trial should be granted.
In her filing, Tasha accuses the judge presiding over the trial of improperly allowing for the exclusion of character evidence. The blogger said months before the trial Cardi filed a motion demanding evidence of her alleged gang affiliation not be shown to the jury. She said it was not relevant to the cast at hand.
The jury awarded Cardi $1 million in general damages, $250k in medical expenses, $1.5 million in punitive damages and another $1.3 million to cover her legal bills.
Tasha opposed Cardi’s request saying the jury should hear about the alleged gang ties “because it is an extremely relevant part of who [Cardi] is.”
“The district court prevented this evidence from coming in,” Tasha said.
No decision has been made on the matter.
