Yeah, I'll just leave it at this..
Wouldn't Yaniv just see that as 'getting away with it?' Words are cheap.
Words may be cheap...BUT what does JY do after the words? ALL his past & future claims can be called into question.
I see, in his future, an enforceable court order to stay off social media. Can you imagine the Pompeii like build up if JY had to stay off all social, including socks, for an extended period? Especially if a breach caused him to be incarcerated, like the Unfortunate Mr Smith. He would find it hard to comply. It would be a harsh, and arguably appropriate sentence.
Or a psych eval, anger mgt...pretty much anything court ordered & JY will fuk it up & get his stupid ass hauled back into court.
Not sure about completely staying off social media but maybe something like a fine fore everyday the libelous Tweet is kept up.
I agree. Hopefully with the pro bono assistance she’s getting, Ms. Hamm will fall into the “prove a point” category.
If he was making $$$ off social media? he wouldn't be out hawking booze
She didn't offer him a tampon.
I love so much how they referenced Yanivs 140k+ followers.... that we all know were bought. Can’t wait For him to scramble and finally admit they’re fake
As some here have alluded, the letter of demand lays the groundwork for actual and consequential damages. The best defenses upon which a defamer might rely: I posted in haste, in error, in misunderstanding, I edited, took it down, apologised, and, clarifications: you were not the person, your name was used in error, etc etc. these defenses are peeled away by his inaction. Then the aggravated damages accumulate: knowingly left the post up, let the post be retweeted, did nothing to correct the record. Malice is now on the table. It is a specific legal concept. Very expensive. All of the tweets and press mentions that flow from the original tweet are part of the assessment for damages. Yaniv was dumb to post the tweet, but the stupidity is compounded hourly by not taking action to mitigate the consequential damages. This has the capacity to bankrupt him, and the early court actions will probably include an injunction against further publications about Hamm, something that Yaniv is unlikely to adhere to.
all of that wording, enabling his behavior is necessary for setting up the court case. He doesn't apologize, and this is evidence to her impact on him. Defamation needs real or perceived damage. After all, if the town drunk, or the doomsday prophet on the corner calling someone a whore damages nobody's reputation, however somebody openly calling a person a whore who is on seemingly good standing within the community damages reputation and the argument for harm can be made by those words. Without feeding into JY and setting up the groundwork for him having some social platform that he can leverage his words with it would be impossible to move the case forward. Furthermore if the victim never tries to settle things in a civil matter outside of the courts the case could end up looking vexatious, or as though no actual damage was done. I assume all of this is absolutely necessary. It also gives the troon, whose behavior has never abated even when approaching real consequences more rope to hang himself with. If he doubles down on his accusations, which I am sure we can all imagine him doing, as he knows the troonshield is strong, it makes the case for them.
Doesn't Yaniv own his condo?
