"Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood" star Teairra Mari is a wanted woman after a judge ordered a bench warrant after the reality star bailed on a hearing in her battle with 50 Cent.
According to court documents obtained by The Blast, a hearing was held today where Mari had been ordered to appear but instead, she was a no-show. The Los Angeles judge then issued a bench warrant in the amount of $5,000.
The warrant will have Mari arrested if she comes into contact with law enforcement.
50 Cent got the hearing set by the court to examine Mari's finances as he is taking steps to collect on the $30,000 she owes him in attorney fees.
As The Blast first reported, 50 Cent was awarded $30,000 from Mari after a judge ordered the reality star to pay the rapper after he prevailed in her revenge porn lawsuit.
The judge dismissed all claims against the rapper and awarded him attorney fees to be paid by Mari.
50 Cent tried to argue for Mari to pay his entire $161,660.15 legal bill but the judge didn’t grant him the full amount. Instead, she was ordered to pay a total of $30,618 to 50 Cent.
Last year, Teairra Mari sued 50 Cent and her ex-boyfriend, Akbar Abdul-Ahad, accusing them of engaging in a plan to sexually objectify, threaten, intimidate, humiliate and degrade her.
She claimed Abdul-Ahad logged into her Instagram account and posted a sexually graphic video that featured “ejaculate” on her face.
Mari said Abdul-Ahad was upset because she claims he was trying to develop a polyamorous relationship, and a reality show highlighting that polyamorous lifestyle, but she wanted no part.
Mari said after she removed the video and photo that Abdul-Ahad had posted, 50 Cent posted the material on his own page. She said 50 even applied a “black and white” filter to highlight the color contrast of semen on Mari’s face. He captioned the photo “get the strap,” which the reality star claims was a possible reference to encourage his fans to harm her.
50 denied all the allegations and said by the time he reposted the image, it was already all over the internet. He demanded her lawsuit be thrown out of court, arguing the photo didn’t even show genitals or a sexual act in progress.
