Katie Wimbush-Polk , Wiz Khalifa ’s mother, is taking his ex-wife Amber Rose to court. According to the Washington County Observer-Reporter, Wimbush-Polk filled a defamation suit against Rose after Rose allegedly made a “profanity-laced” phone call that Wimbush-Polk believed to be accusing her of being a negligent parent.

Wimbush-Polk ’s lawsuit alleges that Rose made a call to a number linked to Wimbush-Polk ’s account on June 19. That day, one of Wimbush-Polk ’s friends and employees, Danesa Lectic, had possession of the phone, and her her five year old niece answered the call. The Lawsuit alleges Rose launched into her tirade as soon as the niece answered the call.

When Lectic was finally able to identify herself, Rose continued to speak, alleging Wimbush-Polk had allowed her own daughter, Dorien, to die and therefore unfit to care for Sebastian, Rose’s son with Khalifa. Dorien who was Khalifa’s sister, died this past February after suffering from complications due to Lymphoma.

Wimbush-Polk is accused of making a call to California child services about Rose, which led Wiz’s ex to apparently make the call in question. In complaint, Wimbush-Polk says she made no such report at or around that time.

In the lawsuit, which was filed on Julyn3, Khalifa’s mother claims Rose’s comments were meant to harm her reputation in her community and that they dissuaded people from wanting to interact with her.

Wimbush-Polk is now suing Rose for $50,000 covering court costs, interest, punitive and other damages. Neither Rose nor Wiz have responded to the suit.
