The filing includes a bunch of screenshots of Jenner\u2019s tweets and promo posts.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"continued\" class=\"continued-anchor\"\/><\/p>\n<p>But Greenfield says the whole thing quickly went sideways, claiming Jenner abruptly pivoted to promoting another crypto coin called $BBARK just days after launch, causing the original $JENNER token to crater by roughly 75 percent.<\/p>\n<p>The lawsuit says the crypto project started falling apart after promoter Sahil Arora &#8212; who allegedly helped launch the coin &#8212; was accused of pulling money out of the operation and crashing its value. According to the filing, Jenner later blasted him online as a scammer &#8230; but kept promoting other versions of the coin anyway.<\/p>\n<p>                  <a class=\"js-click-image js-track-link image-lightbox-preview\" data-node-ref=\"tmz:image-asset:image_jpg_20250706_4f43910eba3a4998b40695104328a75f\" data-container-ref=\"tmz:article:c6bb0f22-cfd3-4fee-897e-0ce5a7711723\" data-context=\"{&quot;section&quot;:&quot;permalink&quot;,&quot;name&quot;:&quot;image&quot;}\"><\/p>\n<p>                          <img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/4f43910eba3a4998b40695104328a75f_md.jpg\" alt=\"sophia-hutchins-caitlyn-jenner-sub-getty-1\" width=\"728\" height=\"546\" class=\"img-fluid image-block__img-fluid img-aspect-auto\"\/><\/p>\n<p>                  <\/a><\/p>\n<p>Investors claim Jenner kept telling buyers the coin was the real deal and about to blow up &#8230; while people behind the scenes were allegedly making money off fees and token sales. Greenfield says he lost more than $40,000 after buying into the coin.<\/p>\n<p>The lawsuit basically claims Jenner misled investors into buying the crypto coins &#8230; and now investors want their money back, plus extra damages.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Caitlyn Jenner Sued Over $JENNER Meme Coin Collapse Published May 12, 2026 6:03 PM PDT Caitlyn Jenner is&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":665648,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[49,48,75,44,82,865,866],"class_list":["post-665647","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-entertainment","tag-news","tag-sports","tag-sports-news","tag-tmz-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/665647","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=665647"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/665647\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/665648"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=665647"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=665647"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=665647"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
