Why did Jessie Woo sue Karen Civil? Comedian wins case against marketeer
The much-publicized legal battle between comedienne Jessie Woo and marketing maestro Karen Civil has finally drawn to an end with the latter losing the lawsuit. Jessie Woo alleged that Civil, a famous social media and digital marketing strategist, booked her with a "non-existent company in order to obtain personal information". Moreover, Civil also served her with an extortion case worth $3 Million at the fake booking, and later passed the recorded video around to demean and embarrass her. In an elaborate Instagram post, Jessie Woo detailed her prolonged legal battle with Karen Civil, which finally came to a just end.
Earlier, Jessie Woo had tweeted about the fraud she faced with Civil, prompting the latter to file a defamation suit against Woo. Karen Civil's lawsuit at the Los Angeles Superior Court alleged defamation, false light, unjust enrichment, and intentional infliction of emotional distress. However, Jessie Woo later submitted a special motion to strike down Civil's complaint and emerged victorious in the pursuit.

In the past, Karen Civil has faced the wrath of the public on social media and in real life for her questionable actions like advertising a T-shirt with Derek Chauvin's face on it. Civil was slammed for being a tone-deaf hypocrite amid a tense situation that has seen thousands take to the street in protest. She also allegedly kicked a homeless person's cup, took a photo, and posted about it on social media. Now, her loss in the Jessi Woo case is being widely celebrated by everyone who unanimously agree that justice has been served.
In a series of posts with details about the lawsuit, Jessie Woo explained, "Earlier this year @KarenCivil fake booked me using a non existent company in order to obtain personal information, served me with an extortion case for the sum of 3 Million Dollars at the fake booking and had it recorded it order to pass the video around the industry with the goal to embarrass & intimidate me. Today, ahead of our hearing The Superior Court of California sided with me. I want to thank my attorneys Amanda & Billie. I stand by the court’s decision and I look forward to my check being cut by Ms UnCivil. Her LIVE today where she pressed about “Haitian Women Empowerment” was no coincidence. She’s a loser. In real life and in court. She lost. She’s scrambling. Run me my coins @KarenCivil."
She further mentioned her impressive academic record insisting that Civil should not have taken her for a fool. She also used the hashtag #AllKarensAintWhite in most of her posts regarding the case. "Often times people go silent in this industry because they cannot afford to defend their factual truth. Keep this in mind before you attack the underdog. She thought I wouldn’t defend myself. I am a masters degree holder from Florida International University! My undergrad is in political science & journalism. My masters is in strategic communications. I had every intention of going to law school BUT BAYBAAAAYYYY that damn LSAT wasn’t my ministry. 😩💀 Even if I couldn’t afford my lawyers, I would have stayed up day and night defending myself by drafting my motions. Don’t ever play yourself @KarenCivil. The devil works hard, BUT JESSICA JUSTE WORKS HARDER IN JESUS NAME 💪🏿❤️ #RunMeMyCoins #AllKarensAintWhite," she wrote, adding, "Oh! And a special shout out to my honorary lawyer @theakg for always steering me legally 🤟🏿"
Jessie Woo, whose real name is Jessica Mbali Fyre, further explained Karen Civil's unsuccessful attempt in suing her, as she writes, "Let’s go to school really quick kids. In my precious post I state “Today, ahead of our hearing the Superior Court of California sides with me”. Karen’s team tried to make amendments ahead of the hearing and that is when the judge issued her “Tentative Ruling”; basically saying listen, Ive reviewed the case and @KarenCivil hasn’t satisfied what is required to have this case go to trial. This puts the burden solely on @KarenCivil to prove that I’ve costed her 3 Million dollars. Good luck to her on that… Ms Forbes. What Karen posted is more than a description of a future hearing to take place. I must file a motion for my attorney fees."
Woo continued, "Most non-lawyers won’t really be able to distinguish these two documents. But the doc I posted clearly shows my motion to strike her complaint was GRANTED and I have the right to seek fees. From that, it’s clear that Ms UnCivil sued ME and the complaint she filed has been stricken.
The doc she posted is nothing more than a notice describing a hearing to take place in the future. Let’s talk about SPACES tho… because you lie in court documents saying that you basically gave me a career and you provided mentorship. By the time I ever met you, I had been on 4 networks already. You’re holding on to one ☝🏿 pandemic performance that didn’t even make tv. A performance I paid $700 to @DexterityProductions for. You lie and say you got me into a Spotify party. A party I attended with @Sandra_Jay … as a matter of fact, y’all can check my highlights to see who I went yo the party with. It’s titled “Grammy Weekend”. Like… who even puts this in court docs?! Provide a receipt that coincides with my resume KOKO RAT @KarenCivil . Show the people which of these spaces you got me into. PUH LEASE! Like… who tf even puts stuff like this on court documents?! what spaces of yours do I long to be in? The ones where you sell Shirts with George Floyd’s killer on the front for profit? Ms Protect Black Women??? WHAT SPACES??????
GWOOOOORRRLLLL??!!! POST YOUR “GRANTED MOTION” SISTEEEEERRRRRR @KarenCivil …. Malonèt ! Court documents are available to the public by the way. This can easily be verified."
Soon after Woo shared about her laudable victory over Karen Civil's fraudulent attempt in intimidating and suppressing her career, other stars like musician Joyner Lucas came forward to share his ordeal with Karen Civil. He accused Civil of robbing him of $60,000 around 6 years ago.
