What happened to Kimberly Diei? University of Tennessee student awarded $250,000 in 'WAP' social media suit

Kimberly Diei, a former University of Tennessee student, was awarded $250,000 in a lawsuit against the university following a controversial social media post. In 2020, Diei, who was then the president of the Black Student Union, posted a video on Instagram featuring a parody of Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion's song "WAP," which included explicit lyrics. This led to her suspension from the university for violating its standards of conduct. The lawsuit claimed that the university's actions infringed on her First Amendment rights, as the post was made off-campus and did not disrupt university activities. The settlement was reached to avoid further legal costs, with the university not admitting any wrongdoing. The case has sparked discussions on free speech versus institutional control over student behavior, particularly in the context of social media.
