Rapper and Only Fans star Bhad Bhabie is being sued for $674,452.40 by American Express over credit card debt.
In 2016 the then 13-year-old – real name – Danielle Peskowitz Bregoli appeared on Dr. Phil with her mum for a segment titled: ‘I Want to Give Up My Car-Stealing, Knife-Wielding, Twerking 13-Year-Old Daughter Who Tried to Frame Me for a Crime.’
The pair appeared on the show to discuss the teenager’s behaviour, which also included stealing a crew member’s car while the episode was being filmed.
After getting annoyed by the audience laughing, Bregoli lashed out and declared her now infamous line challenging them to a fight: ‘Catch me outside, how about that?’
Her thick accent made it sound like she’d said ‘cash me ousside, how bout dah’, which quickly became a viral meme and inspired the creation of a song DJ Suede The Remix God that even made its way into the Billboard Hot 100.
Following her appearance on the show Bregoli spent time at a facility for ‘troubled teens’ and was sentence to five years’ probation in July 2017 after being arrested and pleaded guilty to charges of grand theft, marijuana possession, and filing a false police report.
That same year she released her debut single These Heaux, which peaked at number 77 on the Billboard Hot 100 and made her the youngest female rapper to have a song enter the chart.
Days after turning 18 she opened an OnlyFans account, bringing in a jaw-dropping $1,000,000 (£733,000) in just six hours. She went on to become the highest paid creator on the platform and currently earns around $1,489,374 each month.
Despite her wealth, the 22-year-old is now being sued for failing to pay off her credit card.
This week court documents filed show she’s been sued by American Express, with the credit card company claiming that she breached a credit agreement by failing to make payments.
‘Plaintiff extended credit to Defendant for purchases and/or cash advances by Defendants and/or persons acting with Defendants’ permission on the American Express account XXXX‑XXXX‑X5000 (the “Account”),’ the filing read, as reported by People.
‘Defendant promised to repay Plaintiff for all charges, fees, and interest on the Account by paying the balance in full every month or by making monthly payments.’
The documents showed American Express said it made an agreement to extend credit to Bregoli on April, 21 2021, however, she stopped making payments around December 19 last year.
The bank now alleges she owes the full balance and is seeking damages for breach of contract.
In a statement to The Shade Room she hit back though, declaring: ‘S*** not true. Where do they get this s*** from?’
The suit comes just a few days after Bregoli told Interview magazine that working on OnlyFans was a ‘good way to make a lot of money fast’.
Earlier this year she said she had made about $75 million (£54 million) from OnlyFans – then proving her claims with receipts.
In 2021, Billboard confirmed that she brought in $1m (£792,000) in just six hours which, at the time, broke a record for the platform which has become popular for adult content.
Bregoli, who charges subscribers $23.99 (£18) a month, has said she spends her money on properties, cars and all type of s***’.
Metro has contacted Danielle Bregoli for comment.
