Los Angeles, California - Kim Kardashian scored a legal win against the man who filed a defamation lawsuit against her!
Per Us Weekly, the 45-year-old mogul was awarded $167,000 out of the $186,000 that she requested in legal fees from Ivan Cantu.
The drama began when Kardashian accidentally posted a photo of the New York native while referencing a Texas man with the same name, who was convicted of murder in 2001 and sentenced to death.
Cantu then sued the reality star in February 2025, claiming that the mix-up caused him "emotional distress, loss of sleep, and post-traumatic stress disorder."
A judge dismissed the case in November, and Kardashian countersued him weeks later, demanding that Cantu cover her legal fees.
According to the site, Cantu attempted to fight the filing and argued that he would be financially ruined if he had to pay.
He also argued that Kardashian doesn't need the money, but the judge ultimately sided with the SKIMS founder.
The legal drama comes after Kardashian revealed that she has put a pause on her journey to become a lawyer after failing the bar exam in November and will take it again in 2027.
