Thank you for this new insight that is neither repetitive nor wrong. I am always happy for someone from a different country to teach me about US defamation law because I do not know anything about it.

And I come away from this comment thread disturbed that gawker is eager to fabricate claims of sexual assault.
I’ve been an AV Club commenter, sporadically, since they had disqus.
Multiple women accused Cosby of rape.
I’m pretty sure everyone learns in Not Law School that it’s not defamation if you say “alleged,” and also that certified letters are basically magic.
So in the five years of gawker single-handedly (pun intended) keeping these rumors alive, no one else has felt emboldened to come out?
Kirkman did not accuse CK of doing that, and when Gawker tied her statements about an unnamed comic doing something else to gawker’s rumor, Kirkman said that that wasn’t true.
Has anyone said that?
Is it a crime where this happened, under the circumstances under which it happened, assuming it happened?
Yeah, it’s hella creepy and gross.
It’s not a technicality if there’s no law against it.
I got a community notification for this?
It is indeed a very stupid thread. And I agree. Fuck kinja.
What state’s sexual misconduct statute did he break? Was he in that state at the time?
1. THEYRE THE ONES WHO MADE IT A WIDELY REPORTED ALLEGEATION.
Gawker started a rumor about it, and attributed it to CK.
She said it wasn’t him. I thought we were supposed to believe the survivors. Here, the survivor has explicitly said it’s not Louis ck.
Ironically, a huge circle jerk without Jen kirkman’s consent.
