Defamation Lawsuit Support Fund
Donation protected
Earlier this year a man tried and failed to get an anti-harassment restraining order on me and another woman. Me, because I spoke out and critiqued his behavior online. Her, because she came forward regarding her experiences with him.
The subject matters are sensitive and varied, potentially triggering, and involve many people.
He then made a YouTube video about us and others detailing his version of the truth, which upset a great many people. Several women spoke out in response. The videos were removed by YouTube for harassment and violating their TOS.
He has now moved forward with a civil defamation lawsuit against 3 women.
Lawyers are expensive. A lawsuit like this is extraordinarily time consuming and stressful.
This is real. This is not a joke. It is not "drama". If you know or suspect you know who I am talking about - Don't attack him. Don't make threats. Don't contact him or engage with him at all. Don't even mention his name.
Many of you have reached out, asking how you can help. Please donate if you are able, and please share far and wide. Your support is so appreciated!
We have no idea how long this will take or how much it will cost, so I set the goal high. All money raised will go directly to the lawyer. If any remains, the plan is to pay it forward (either to other similar campaigns or donate to a women's advocacy group, etc.).
Thank you so much!
