Given the legal exploits of team Trump last year I think we’ve reached critical mass where some lawyers have lost all sense of reality or legal reasoning. I feel like there will be a major ethics evaluation in the near future.

I call those cases malpractice traps. Taking on a client that is knowingly throwing good money after bad means they don't process risk/benefit analysis properly, and at some point when the case obviously turns, they'll turn against you and make your life miserable.
I think if you are cancelled you have two options:
I’m genuinely surprised that any legal professional advised Avellone to go ahead with this lawsuit, because it’s very hard to see any outcome for Avellone that is actually positive, here. Especially as he basically had a safe path to potential rehabilitation (which was to say essentially he’d made mistakes and would…
A few things (I’m an attorney that dabbles in some defamation cases in the greater LA area). The complaint itself is pretty terribly written and seems to be written for the purposes of media consumption (the identifying of someone as a “then girlfriend” while going to great lengths to explain they were not in fact his…
That’s the thing that he doesn’t really account for. That apparently he was known for his “lady killer” tendencies and that women were warned to stay away from him.
If we’re being generous here—and I stress the term—it’s possible he means what he said: he waited this long for women’s voices to be heard, to tell their story, and let that sit.
I’m perhaps a bit relieved to read how much the lawsuit is being mocked by legal professionals. Not because I have some intense hatred of Avellone, but because I kept reading through the various stuff here and tried to figure out how this was a good idea in anyway.
I read Avallone’s medium post that supposed to break this whole thing through with facts and evidence...but I didn’t really get the sense that anything disproved any of the accusations. More importantly, a lot of his evidence seems..”troubling” at the very least. Like, he points to a twitter post in which Karissa is…
Trying to picture why multiple young women would work together to attack Avellone “malicously”, and why, despite this, he wants their voices to be “elevated”.
The article correctly points out the obnoxiousness of SLAPP suits, but Avellone filed his suit in California, which has one of the strongest anti-SLAPP statutes in the country. Already numerous defamation attorneys on Twitter are laughing at how bad the suit is and that he is doomed to lose, which in California means…
Go on then.
Interesting piece - thanks for a good read and some sincere contrition. Sorry you were put in that spot to begin with. That said, the confluence of subjects in this article makes for some odd alert suggestions:
One day, I’m gonna make that improved Auto Assault. First lesson?
Driving around in a WW2 era Jeep visiting famous sites from the war sounds great, but, not like this, and definitely not for Call of Duty, or any video game for that matter.
Hey John, what about the time you were in Paris for Call Of Duty 3, and the police got called because of the Nazi flags hanging visible from the street?
As soon as I saw “influencer” I knew he was going to lick the boot and hope for more.
If “authenticity” is what you’re going to cite for the costumes wouldn’t you at least try and replicate the outfits from the game you’re basing this event on? Hell, it sounds like a shopping spree at Walmart to pick up ski masks and hunting camo would have been closer than what they went with (and would have been a…
As a Jew I am... incredibly tired of Poland’s bullshit.
