A case of mistaken identity can cost you, especially if it involves Kim Kardashian. When Kim Kardashian shared a photo of a Texas death row inmate on Instagram to raise questions about his conviction for double murder, there was only one problem: She had the wrong man. With his execution date nearing in early 2024, Kardashian posted on Instagram and Facebook to raise awareness about Ivan Cantu, who was convicted of killing his cousin and his cousinâs fianceÌe. The image she posted unfortunately featured a different Ivan Cantu â one very much not behind bars and living in Westchester, New York. Her social media team had mistakenly identified that Cantu, who worked as a project manager, and pulled his headshot from LinkedIn. Kardashianâs team corrected the social media flub quickly, but because the reality TV star turned criminal justice advocate is one of the worldâs most-followed social media figures, the damage was done. At least, thatâs what Cantuâs legal team argued when the Cantu not on death row sued the celebrity the following year. Now, after his lawsuit was thrown out last year, a judge just ruled that the living Cantu owes the billionaire influencer and reality TV star more than $167,000 in legal fees. Cantu vs. Kardashian In a civil complaint filed in L.A., Cantu argued that the incident exposed him to online hate, ridicule, and contempt. âKardashian published and disseminated false information about Cantu that was clearly untrue, erroneous, unfounded, shocking, scandalous, degrading, disgraceful, and/or shameful,â the complaint stated. The New York Cantu said that having one of the worldâs most famous people link his likeness to a murder case caused emotional distress and damaged his reputation. Cantu sued for defamation through libel, defamation through slander, false light, invasion of privacy, intentional infliction of emotional distress; negligent infliction of emotional distress, and misappropriation of likeness. Late last year, the court granted a request by Kardashianâs legal team to toss out the lawsuit under special legal rules known as anti-SLAPP (Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation) laws, which are designed to block lawsuits that seek to stifle free speech. âThe purpose of the anti-SLAPP is to âweed out, at an early stage [of litigation],â claims arising from activity protected by the First Amendment to the United States Constitution that lack merit,â the court wrote of its decision. In December, Kardashian filed a motion to force Cantu to cover the legal fees incurred in dealing with the lawsuit. This week, Judge Michael Small has granted that motion in part, meaning that Cantu is on the hook for the sophisticated legal representation that helped Kardashian prevail against him: âYes, it may seem anomalous that a person of modest financial means (as Plaintiff says he is) would have to reimburse a person who has lots of money (as Plaintiff says Kardashian has). Income disparities are, however, irrelevant to the attorneyâs fees equation under 425.16, subdivision (c)(1)... Thus even if Plaintiffâs finances are dwarfed [by] Kardashianâs, he still has to pay Kardashian the reasonable fees and costs she incurred in connection with her successful anti-SLAPP motion.â According to Mondayâs filing, the court did reduce one portion of the fees Cantu will owe to $38,261, down from $57,107. Unfortunately, that leaves the bill at $167,473 â a price thatâs difficult to swallow for anyone who isnât hanging out in the upper echelons of wealth. While Kim K has found herself fighting for the wrongfully accused in recent years, one irrefutable fact of being a billionaire remains: If you come at her in court, you best not miss.

Political analysts and observers mocked a giant Trump-aligned media company on Thursday after it was reported that the company is in talks to acquire a floundering conservative podcast. Axios reported that Paramount is evaluating a potential distribution deal with Katie Miller , wife of President Donald Trump's Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller , and her podcast "The Katie Miller Podcast." The report noted that Paramount is considering the deal as it attempts to bolster its podcast roster. The company has also had discussions with Paragon Collective, which hosts comedians Whitney Cummings and D.L. Hughley, and Jubilee Media, according to the report. Miller's podcast has just over 57,000 followers on YouTube. No episodes have reached more than 1 million views, even though they have included prominent conservative figures such as Fox News host Sean Hannity, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and SpaceX founder Elon Musk. "The conversations with Miller suggest Paramount is looking to bring in diverse voices, including conservatives," Axios reported. The report attracted mockery from political analysts and observers on social media. "The MAGA movement is DEI for conservative losers," Mike Nellis, a Democratic strategist, posted on X. "Prove me wrong." "Paramount needs Trump for their merger to go through, so conveniently now the wife of that goblin Stephen Miller gets a sweet deal out of it. The grift is never-ending," The Lincoln Project, an anti-Trump political group, posted on X. "Odd business decision to go all-in with people who are just on the edge of being toxic and unemployable for the rest of their lives," writer and producer Jonathan Harris posted on Bluesky. "Her podcast isnât very popular," Zaid Jilani, a political analyst and writer, posted on X. "This is clearly corruption, a way to pay off the family of a powerful Trump staffer." "I'm told this is The Return Of Meritocracy," Eric Boehm, a writer for Reason Magazine, posted on X.
