Vic Mignogna Lawsuit |OT| Hold My Beard (Update: Appeal lost, Mignogna must pay attorney fees to defendants)
- Thread starter Sibersk Esto
- Start date
- OT
Don't even start with both sides with this shit. Fucking hell.
Those low post count accounts coming out of the woodwork, I see.
Clear burner account. Nice job. I just reported you and you'll probably be perma'd.
I'm not a burner, but que será, será. I like Killer Klowns from Outer Space, btw.
I mean, yeah. I said shit I'm not proud of ten years ago. Apologized for it many times, too. I'm not expecting people to like me or even to forgive me. I'm totally okay with that.
Regardless, the shitty things I said ten years ago have literally nothing to do with Vic.

Spoilers: Everyone has.
What matters is that you apologize and what you do to make up for it. And you've made up for it in spades.
So uh, apparently this is going down? From YouTube Lawyer's Twitter:
Are they seriously doing this shit? What possible case do they have?

Honestly shocked they took it this far.
What's their case though?

What kind of broad ass lawsuit are they trying to sell?
>Funimation Productions
LMFAO way to fuckin' undermine your own case.
Funimation itself did nothing to defame Vic. It simply said they did a internal investigation and decided to cut ties.
The only possible case Vic COULD have is that one dub he was supposed to work on but got the boot from, but without knowing what's in Funi contracts and given it'd be stupid of them to not include a "we can cancel contract at any time from our side" clause.... I can only assume there's literally nothing.
Monica and Jamie in particular would require him proving his interactions with them either never happened or were totally consensual- and if he was serious about clearing his name instead of coasting on "I'm a good little Christian boy, trust me!!!" he'd provide those receipts, PRIOR to Blackface lawyer hitting him up with the fundraiser and Beard's number.
Maybe there is a case against Toye. I haven't kept up with his tweets. But when 3 out of 4 have no real case against them, and we know like 400 of Toye's tweets are the "evidence", all 400 which couldn't possibly ALL be libelous...
Well. "Innocent until proven guilty" is what they've been saying all this time, right?

From a reply to me on Kanzenshuu: "Defamation, Tortious Interference with Existing Contracts, Tortious Interference with Prospective Business Relations, Civil Conspiracy, and Vicarious Liability." Here's a page from the petition:
Yeah, uh, good luck with that!
Haha, yup. Best part is they won't accept the inevitable outcome.
Speaking of Mr. Toye, there's this little gem:
He did this once.
Cue endless "it was just a joke!!!" apologism.
Yeah, I'm reading the petition now and holy fuck they're actually running with the conspiracy of Ron working at Funimation lmfao!!!!Speaking of Mr. Toye, there's this little gem:
There's also this gem:
He is legit suing for over a million dollars...
''I'm not a burner'' - Banned for alt account.
Fucking lmao.
It seems like they're going for damages? It's probably going to be easy to calculate - they're just going to say "look at all the money Vic lost for losing his jobs" - but if Vic is going on the attack, the burden of proof's going to be on him. I had originally thought that he would look for legal aid in defense against potential legal action because that would be easier.
Holy shit they are so fucked if that's their smoking gun, there's no court on earth that would side with Vic in a case like this.
They're claiming that Broly was the lead character.
This petition is fucking wiiiiiiild. They keep insisting that Ron has something to do with Funimation.
Sorry, what's this petition? Images and stuff aren't loading for me.
Uhhhh. I can kiiiiinda see that argument, there is a chunk at the beginning at least which focuses on him. But his voice was definitely not the main draw. Broly as interpreted by Toriyama was the main draw.

well he was on the morose mononokean as one of the actors, but most of the people who voice for funimation are contractors and i'm sure vic is no different...so still not fired i guess
Am I reading that right? He's claiming that those 3 incidents are the extent of the allegations?
Hey MarzGurl! They mentioned you! Your famous now.
Fake edit: seriously can't believe they're going ahead with this. This reminds me of the Digital Homicide v Jim Sterling case... Except Funimation has a ton more money for lawyers.

Trying to mentally put this all together. "Civil conspiracy", so it seems like he's declaring that all of these parties colluded to cause him some kind of damage that he should be compensated for. "Tortious Interference with Existing Contracts" and "Tortious Interference with Prospective Business Relations" suggest that they ruined his business with Funimation, which I guess is what the conspiracy is about. "Defamation" is obvious, I guess it's the method that the conspiracy is supposed to have used. "Vicarious Liability" means that Funimation is also responsible because their other actors did this?
Here's a link to the petition: https://www.scribd.com/document/406767091/Plaintiff-s-Original-Petition
Thanks. I feel like I'm getting bombarded with subliminal messages even before reading it:
I told myself I wouldn't bother, but my god, those low-res tweets and it actually citing the "ARRGHHHHH MONICA RIAL PRESSURED CONVENTIONS NOT TO HOST VIC" conspiracy.
Boy, it sure is a mystery why women don't come forward, eh gang?
Well I gotta give them some credit for actually going through with this. Whether or not this will actually lead anywhere I'm not 100% sure but I'll definitely wait and see. Seems to me like it's a kind of case where they're gonna try and force a settlement to pretend they've won like a lot of BS suits but I'll definitely wait and see on this one.
...but you know the more I think about this, what if this isn't really about sexual harassment and is more of a threat to any company that still uses him as a VA that would dare think of letting him go? This whole thing is ridiculous and it doesn't take someone terribly familiar with law to recognize this, but I'm sure we've all noticed it's a power thing here and he's suing Funimation who hasn't said squat as a company about this situation, but attempting to make a ridiculously long lawsuit that would spook most smaller studios who Vic may still be doing work for? All speculation on my part but it's striking me as a possibility.

Are they seriously doing this shit? What possible case do they have?
Ask what happen to Bruce Faulconer after he launched a lawsuit at Funimation. He never got his job back ever again.
Okay, this might be important, but it's hilarious to me that this petition includes these.
Is this all he has to claim the falsehood of the statement? Especially considering that the petition itself also mentions that the defendants were retweeting accusations from outsiders:
Next,
He's making the claim that that they were intentionally spreading falsehoods in order to defame Vic, so doesn't that ruin his case if there's even reason to believe that they might have plausibly believed the claims? For example, if there were a whole lot of sexual assault allegations out there?
