The messy fallout between influencer De’arra Taylor and her ex-fiancé, former YouTube partner, and alleged debtor Ken Walker has just taken another chaotic turn, and De’arra is not holding back.
Earlier this year, Taylor filed a lawsuit accusing Walker of stealing thousands of dollars from a joint bank account the two agreed to maintain for business purposes after their 2021 breakup. But eight months later, she claims she’s been unable to serve him the legal papers because, according to her, Walker has no fixed address and has been “couch surfing” to avoid being found.
The Money, the Taxes, and the Alleged Broken Agreement
When the couple split in 2021, they initially decided to keep their massively popular couple’s YouTube channel running so they could continue generating revenue. That arrangement, however, came to an abrupt halt after Taylor says she discovered Walker had allegedly withdrawn money from their shared business account without permission.
According to her filing, Walker agreed to pay the money back but never did. In addition, Taylor claims Walker left her with unpaid tax liabilities on certain assets they had acquired together. She says she covered those expenses herself and now wants to be reimbursed.
At the time of her lawsuit, Taylor also took a jab at Walker’s alleged lifestyle, pointing out that while he appeared on social media flaunting luxury items, he still hadn’t repaid what she says he owes her.
Eight Months Later, No Papers Served
In a recent YouTube update to her followers, Taylor explained the reason her case hasn’t moved forward: Walker has allegedly been living without a permanent residence, making it nearly impossible to serve him with court papers.
“When someone is living one way on social media, and a completely different life in real life, it’s kinda hard to serve them,” she told her viewers. She claimed Walker has been deliberately avoiding putting any bills in his name so she can’t track him down.
Despite the roadblock, Taylor expressed confidence that her ex will eventually have to face the situation. “It’s all good. It will happen. You can run from me, but one thing you can’t outrun is the IRS. Slammer!” she said pointedly.
