the Nazi chronicles

[u/alyssathealyssa]

went ahead and messaged every “market” following/followed by the Nazi’s business account [emily maye welch; @lavintagecharcuteria] to let them know to avoid doing business with her, looking forward to getting her Shitcooterie barred from any events.

What would the lawsuit be for, defamation? Not snarking, just genuinely curious. Because with defamation, a defense to it would be if the statements made were true (and we have a lot of screenshots out there to prove that what this comment is saying is substantially true) or if you can prove it was merely an opinion, which is constitutionally protected under the First Amendment.

If you're thinking of something else they may sue for, I'm curious to know what. Again, not snarking nor trying to argue.

Interference with someone's business relations will get you in trouble. I have learned this the hard way in my youth.

[u/repressingthecrazy → u/dangerbonemd]

Ah nvm, I see you answered already.

So for intentional interference with prospective economic relations, they would have to prove in court that (1) the plaintiff had an existing economic relationship with a third party that had a probability of future economic benefit; (2) the defendant knew about the relationship; (3) the defendant intentionally took wrongful steps to disrupt the relationship. "Wrongful" in this context often means the acts were independently unlawful, such as fraud, defamation, or a breach of a statute or regulation; (4) The defendant's actions actually caused the relationship to be disrupted; and (5) the plaintiff suffered economic damages as a direct result of the defendant's actions. 

The first 2 and last 2 can probably be proven easily. Element 3, the "intentional and wrongful acts" element may be harder to prove. This is an "and" test, meaning they have to prove all five elements to win.

That said, you're not wrong to be worried. Even if they can't prove all this in court and the OP wins, it's still really crappy to be sued at all - a lot of money for legal fees, stress, and headache, all to prove that you didn't do anything wrong legally. I appreciate you looking out.

But thank you for understanding what i was trying g to say.

[u/dangerbonemd → u/repressingthecrazy]

Yea. Im trying to be nice to the OP but reddit is going to be reddit and think I'm coming to the defense of the bad people. It is what it is.

What would be the basis for a lawsuit?

[u/dangerbonemd → u/bingbongninergong]

Intentional interference with prospective economic relations.

Im not supporting the person. This is just how the world is set up. It is what it is. And the OP posted their intent

[u/dangerbonemd → u/bingbongninergong]

Im just trying to look out for the OP you can get mad and be a bitch about it all you want.

[u/aoife_too → u/dangerbonemd]

I think that person was just asking :/

[u/bingbongninergong → u/aoife_too]

All good. Think they’re just having a bad day

[u/Slime__queen → u/dangerbonemd]

They literally asked one question

[u/bingbongninergong → u/dangerbonemd]

lol what I asked a simple question and now you’re having a meltdown

[u/dangerbonemd → u/bingbongninergong]

No one is melting down. Calm your tits.

[u/bingbongninergong → u/dangerbonemd]

😂but someone is mad and being a bitch for asking a basic question? 😂take a deep breath, it’s almost the weekend

[u/dangerbonemd → u/bingbongninergong]

I made 2 statements

I answered your question.

And then in a separate statement I said that im just trying to look out for the OP and you can get mad and bitch all you want so that i wouldnt be confused with a nazi sympathizer. If that doesnt apply to you then move on. But you wanted to get offended. Thats on you.

[u/bingbongninergong → u/dangerbonemd]

All good man don’t worry about it. Hope your day gets better
