**St. Louis, MO** – Rapper Sexyy Red (Janae Wherry) is facing a $5 million lawsuit filed by Nicole Barnes, the paternal grandmother of one of her children. The lawsuit alleges that Sexyy Red posted Barnes’ home address online and encouraged her fans to attack her, leading to a wave of harassment and forcing Barnes and her family to flee their home in Hazelwood, Missouri.
According to Barnes’ attorney, Steven Weaver, the incident stems from an ongoing conflict between Sexyy Red and the father of her child, with Barnes having no direct involvement. Weaver stated that attempts to resolve the matter outside of court were unsuccessful.
The lawsuit accuses Sexyy Red of assault, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and negligent infliction of emotional distress. Barnes is seeking $5 million in damages to compensate for the emotional trauma, displacement, and financial hardship caused by the alleged actions. The family is reportedly struggling to find suitable new housing. The case has drawn significant public attention.
