The plaintiff, Akira Montague, has filed a rare “alienation of affection” lawsuit against social media star Brenay Kennard in May 2024.
The claim, which is only allowed in six U.S. states (including North Carolina), alleges Kennard is responsible for the end of her marriage to Timothy Montague, who is now Kennard’s husband.
