The married couple trying to destroy the photog’s career over something this simple and trivial doesn’t surprise me at all. In the least.

The level of malice & spite of these people is sickening.

I’ve been following this story on GOMI since it unfolded in January 2015. And even before then via social media, when she was praising the photog for taking amazing wedding pictures. They’re just terrible people.

I was a wedding photographer back when you had to use film just before scanners became a thing. My rate was under $1000 because I had little experience but as time went by I could raise my price and I learned how to do business. Eventually I learned to price for the wedding photography and proof book only which did…

And her tweets are protected now.

...went ahead with the lawsuit AND continued to court the press! From my understanding the NBC interview happened after the photographer offered to waive the fee. It seems to me that Neely wanted press for her “beauty” blog more than she was really upset about her photos.

I was actually just reading yelp reviews for a blow dry bar down my street and I swear I’m not going to read yelp anymore. Some reviews on there are so stupid, the best (worst) is when you come across like a seven paragraph review that has personal issues in it, an entire backstory, every single detail, and its boring…

And just because she got this sorted out doesn’t mean she’s immediately going to go back to being a wedding photographer at 75-100 weddings a year. It will take her a few more years to get back up to that level, if she ever recovers or even stays in the business. Going back to school for a few years and starting a…

When someone defames a private individual, as the photographer is here (private individual = someone not in government or already famous) with malice, the defamed plaintiff can get punitive damages. This is punishment for bad actions by the defendant — in this case, blatantly setting out to destroy this photographer’s…

lol that’s the reason you can’t watch PropBros? They’re so deep in the uncanny valley!

In the full article I read last night, it said photographer finally agreed to waive the $125 but they still were “outraged” and went ahead with lawsuit.

This is why yelp is so awful.

I was sent the wrong photos - they were all of some other couple. Did not sue or trash photographer.

per the NBC story “Jurors found the Moldovans liable for defamation, disparagement, and civil conspiracy, and awarded punitive damages.”

A+ choice of gif. A+ source film.

The absolute best description of these delicate flowers...

The amount could include not just lost wages, but damages for intentional infliction of emotional distress, attorneys fees because of bad faith, or punitive damages (meant to punish).

I would like to see this happen to many twits on Yelp

“Moldovans, who have fought hard against the accusations from the photographer and they plan to challenge the verdict, claiming she hasn’t lost any business after getting dragged on the news.”

What a couple of cunts.
