Cardi B has reportedly pulled out of a movie at the last minute — and could potentially face legal action.
Cardi was set to appear in the movie “Assisted Living,” which was set to start filming in mid-March. However, Deadline reported the star decided she no longer wanted to be in the movie just a week before production was set to begin, with sources alleging she felt “overextended.”
There was reported to be $30 million invested in the project, though it’s now been scrapped by Paramount Players after Cardi’s departure. Of course, pulling out a project so close to the start date is never really the best move, with the outlet claiming Cardi has now potentially left herself open to litigious issues because other abrupt exists are “often… followed by legal action.”
As for whether it will come to that, fans will have to wait and see, though sources close to the situation admitted there’s still hope this won’t be the end of the movie and production could potentially regroup later in 2022.
Cardi doesn’t appear to have spoken publicly about the career move, though she has hinted on social media that she may be focusing more on her music right now than acting in movies. Taking to Twitter on March 9, the star replied to a fan who asked her not to reply to the haters, “You right babes …Imma let people have their fun ….Cause my next single is super pressure.”
