Overview
- Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Cindy Pánuco said her tentative ruling is to approve a court-ordered sale of Minaj’s Hidden Hills residence, pending one final mortgage document.
- The enforcement action follows a $503,318 default judgment for security guard Thomas Weidenmuller after Minaj and husband Kenneth Petty did not respond to his 2022 lawsuit.
- Weidenmuller alleges Petty punched him backstage at a 2019 Frankfurt concert, breaking his jaw and leading to multiple reconstructive surgeries, according to court filings.
- Court papers list a $13,258,000 mortgage lien and a $722,151 homestead exemption on the home, with the plaintiff estimating roughly $6 million could be recovered from a sale.
- Plaintiff’s filings say prior collection efforts failed, including levies and outreach to seven potential garnishees, and characterize Minaj as capable of payment based on an estimated $150 million net worth.
