Sexyy Red sues former guard for over $500,000 after burglary

Rapper Sexyy Red is suing a former security guard for more than $500,000, alleging his negligence allowed a masked burglar to steal a trove of luxury items during her mother's birthday celebration in Florida. The lawsuit, a countersuit to a prior wage claim by the guard, centers on a reported theft from a rented mansion on January 12, 2025.

According to the legal filing, the St. Louis artist, whose legal name is Janae Wherry, hired Carl Thompson and his security team to protect the property during the family retreat. She claims that a single masked individual entered the home through an unlocked door and stole jewelry, designer handbags, watches, and other valuables with a total value of at least $500,000. A police investigation reportedly confirmed a door had been left unsecured.

The lawsuit alleges Thompson was the last member of the security detail to leave the premises before the theft was discovered, holding him directly responsible for the security lapse. No arrests have been announced in connection with the burglary.

This legal action is a direct response to a lawsuit Thompson filed against the rapper in August 2025. In that suit, Thompson claimed he was hired in May 2023...
