West Coast rapper Game is reportedly over $200,000 in the hole after being ordered to pay a former nanny over a past social media conflict.

According to reports, a judge made the default judgement in babysitter Karen Monroe‘s favor earlier this month.

On June 10, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Mitchell Beckloff issued a $200,627 default judgment against the rapper after he failed to respond to the suit. Monroe’s attorney, Manu Elloie, said millions of people saw the post, which prompted numerous death threats against his client and caused her to lose her job as a nanny to rapper Nas‘ son. Monroe sought therapy for depression, took medications and experienced extreme mood swings, Beckloff said. (ABC 7)

March reports suggested Game would not have to pay a million bucks in the case.

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Mitchell Beckloff said he still needs information on what attempts Karen Monroe has made to get work and how much her therapy is costing. Monroe sued the 35-year-old rapper in July 2013 after he allegedly ranted about her on Instagram, accusing her of neglecting his children and describing her as a “very dangerous baby sitter.” Mitchell said he is unlikely to issue a seven-figure judgment against the entertainer.

Back in December, Game caught a break by having a judgement delayed.

A judge today delayed issuing a default judgment against the rapper The Game, who is accused of defaming the former nanny of his children in a rant on Instagram. In what may be the first Instagram libel case, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Mitchell Beckloff gave plaintiff Karen Monroe’s attorney until Feb. 24 to provide more documentation to support her therapy expenses and how she claims she lost income due to damage to her reputation.

According to 2013 reports, the nanny went after Game’s head following publicized comments he made about her following termination.

In what might be a first, a celebrity is being taken to court for alleged defamation on Instagram, the popular photo-sharing social media forum. The lawsuit comes from a woman named Karen Monroe who says hip-hop superstar The Game hurt her reputation. (The Hollywood Reporter)
