    The Streisand effect in full view. I'd never heard of _any_ of the litigants until this broke. Now, I know Lauren the Mortician is a horrible person, Janet the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Lawyer is _also_ a horrid person, and Kaffinated Kitty is hysterical.

    The sad thing is that "being in a gay relationship" doesn't mean you can't also be transphobic. As someone who is trans, I can tell you that there are lesbians who do not like and do not support trans people. Thank goodness this isn't an attitude shared by a majority of lesbians. I've always received positive and supportive comments from gay women when I've hung out at establishments that cater to lesbians. But I've seen cases where this isn't the case.

    • @DyslecticAttack
      @DyslecticAttack 3 місяці тому

      ​​@@aickavon small disagree. Financial loss does not have to be proven for "defamation per se" (or however you spell it). "Runkle at my puppy" if used in a serious context, would probably fall under that, due to the appaling and criminal nature of the allegation (theft of the puppy, animal abuse due to the death of said puppy, etc). And personal knowledge/disregard for the truth can be presumed in such a personal statement, in which case intent is also a given if the statement is false.
      Hence the only thing that has to be shown is that the statement was shared in a serious context with people other than Runkle, and that people believed the allegation to some extent.

    • @aickavon
      @aickavon 3 місяці тому

      Only if said lack of financial damages is matched with a clear and obvious emotional duress caused by other parties harrassing the defamed. I would call that reputational damage, but I'm sure there's a legal term for it.
      If there is no third party harrassment or financial damage that is documentable, then the case would have very little merit in court.

    • @theBestElliephant
      @theBestElliephant 3 місяці тому +2

      @@aickavon Yes and no, emotional damages and reputational harm are two very different things. It actually depends more on how serious a crime eating a puppy would be and how believable the statement gets to be than emotional duress applied. If people from this comment go viral accusing Ian of being the Canadian equivalent of a felon cuz eating a puppy would amount to felony animal abuse, especially given that he's a licensed attorney, it could do untold damage on his career. He wouldn't necessarily have to prove damages, I don't think, cuz being a felon is something that puts your license on the line automatically, and the reputational damage could be so grievous it'd let him skip the proving damages part. At this stage, the point of suing would be to get the person making false statements stop, though, not to get money out of them, so I wouldn't think that the defamation per se claims would be that high. If this went on for years or they completely ruined his career, then it becomes more about money and loss of income due in part to the intentional infliction of emotional distress.
      Idk if you've heard of the TikTok psychic who went viral accusing the one professor of being the brains behind the quadruple homicide in Idaho cuz she was supposedly tryna hide a lesbian relationship with one of the victims, but she sued the psychic for defamation per se, if you need a relevant example of defamation per se. I don't think the emotional damage really came up at all in the pleadings, but lmk if I was wrong there.

    I am an attorney in Washington State. This lawsuit was bizarre to begin with. The claims made about Janet are opinions, and that doesn't rise to a tortious act. Beyond being opinions, the truth is always a defense to a slander/defamation accusations. And from what I have read from Janet's filings and C&D letters, I think bad lawyer is probably accurate. Being a bad lawyer is also so incredibly subjective it would be hard to prove that opinion harmed her. You know, the little things a halfway decent lawyer might consider before filing a case.

    Public service announcement for folks who hate the term "transphobic" -
    Letting trans people live as the gender that they have always been internally since birth stands in your way and harms you in no manner whatsoever.
    Supporting equality, respect, and medical autonomy for trans people in a passive, effortless manner is all that's required to disqualify oneself from being transphobic. For the most part, trans men & women maintain the qualifier when identifying themselves. They say, "I'm a trans man," or, "I'm a trans woman." Nothing scientifically inaccurate about that.
    Kindness is free. It costs you zero dollars to be nice/respectful. Using he/him for trans men, she/her for trans women, and they/them for people who don't feel comfortable using male/female pronouns is super easy & costs you nothing.
    They say you can be happy, or you can be right. You can't be both. "Is that the hill you want to die on" comes to mind. There's something to be said for weighing the costs & benefits of being stubborn about something, and pronouns seems like a really lame hill to die on. You may not "get" trans people, but they exist anyway - transgenderism is a real thing, regardless. Non-binary is a real thing, too, even if you can't relate.

That doesn't mean trans/nb don't exist and aren't worth basic human decency/respect. And really, anyone who's *that* pressed over what's going on with a(n often) complete stranger's gender/genitalia structure is hella weird.

    If lawyers could sue for people saying "i think this lawsuit is bullshit" they could properly also sue for lawyer jokes, lol. "They are destroying my reputation because the jokes always state lawyers are scumbags". Imagine the clogging of the courts.

      And then the judge says, "You suing someone over making a lawyer joke doesn't exactly do a lot to counter the stereotype, counselor."

    How did Janet even pass the Bar? Is really that easy in Illinois?

      I'm assuming her F tier law school taught her to pass the bar and not much else.

    I am glad you are covering this so in depth. For KC’s sake though, I hope it’s dismissed with prejudice and that she’s awarded attorney fees. I don’t want her to have to deal with this issue for longer than necessary. As entertaining as Janet’s antics are, this case being drawn out isn’t worth KC’s stress both financially and emotionally.
    I’m thinking about that TikTok psychic who accused the history professor at the University of Idaho of being the one who killed the 4 students and the professor has sued said Tiktoker for defamation as we all know Brian Kohberger was arrested for the crime. The judge keeps giving the Tiktoker chance after chance (she’s pro se) and it’s frustrating because in my opinion she’s used up all of her chances. The judge has been too lenient to the tiktoker. Don’t be a month late (habitually) responding. Meanwhile the professor has to keep paying attorneys fees. We all know that the professor will NEVER see a dime of her money back.
    That’s why I think the this judge needs to nip this in the bud. KC doesn’t need to pay out of her pocket for the continuation of a case that’s likely going nowhere.
