Talib Kweli sued Jezebel in 2020 for emotional distress he suffered as a result of one of their articles explaining his suspension from Twitter. According to his complaint, Jezebel’s story used him to show how black men treat black women. He had to deal with various problems including depression, insomnia, anxiety and others. Kweli said he was portrayed as a monster who despised black women. Kweli went on to say that about 500,000 of his followers, as well as his ex-wife and workers, are black. Meanwhile, a spokeswoman for G/O Media said,
“Jezebel’s story accurately reported the dispute that resulted in the permanent suspension of Talib Kweli’s Twitter account.” This litigation, brought two years after the publication of the article, is beyond reproach, and the corporation will seek our attorneys’ fees in accordance with the rights given to the press to publish stories of public importance such as this one.”
