Model-dancer Sally Ferreira has filed an $11 million lawsuit claiming she is a victim of defamation and emotional distress, according to New York Daily News.
Ferreira says 50 Cent called her a “thirsty video b****” on Instagram when photographs of a music video shoot were leaked, according to her lawsuit. The photographs were featured in various websites, including MediaTakeOut, a site that also speculated that 50 Cent was in a relationship with Ferreira, according to the newspaper.
“Without undertaking any investigation whatsoever, Mr. Jackson falsely accused Ms. Ferreira of being the source of the MediaTakeOut.com coverage by posting a picture of Ms. Ferreira on his personal Instagram account with the following text superimposed over her image,” the lawsuit says.
50 Cent allegedly posted the following on his Instagram account after stills from his “Big Rich Town” video shoot were leaked.
