Overview

• On June 26 in Venice, Kardashian signed and submitted legal filings to Los Angeles Superior Court one day before Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez’s wedding.
• The lawsuit was brought by New York project manager Ivan Cantu, who claims reputational harm, emotional distress, sleep loss and PTSD after his photo was mistakenly used in a February 2024 Instagram post.
• Kardashian’s declaration states the use of Cantu’s image was accidental and not intentional, and she promptly removed the story and issued a public apology.
• Her legal team argues the suit is baseless and describes the plaintiff’s claims as an opportunistic attempt to profit from an honest error.
• The defamation case remains active with no scheduled resolution date as proceedings continue in Los Angeles Superior Court.
