Kind of works, since the double entendre here would actually means that Beard is on hold.
Of course the update would need to be added,
Vic Mignogna Lawsuit |OT| Hold My Beard - Update: Co-counsel retained, possible damage control
Honestly, I don't like the idea of having too much fun with the title because the subject matter is still serious. Chuck Huber's affidavit is ridiculous, there are many others that aren't.
That said, I wouldn't be opposed to, say, something like "Vic Mignogna sues accusers, nonstop legal clownshow". There's only so many words you can fit in there, might as well be straightforward about it.

The thing is, the subject matter, while still serious, I'm not sure if people who are familiar with the case have somehow lessened the severeity of his actions, if at all.
The bigger issue that has really risen out of this now, has more to do with the legal proceedings, which can and have provided many more pertinent details that are associated with the core issue still, and discussed as well when they are made available.
I wouldn't say this is making light of the situation by any means, but it's more about highlighting the absurdity of the situation now, from both a serious standpoint, but also a complete fundamental failure standpoint on Vic's legal team.
I think by now we are reaching a point where even the defendants are starting to be in good spirits about the whole thing.
Not that it isn't a serious matter. But it is REALLY hard not to laugh when one side is a complete clown show.
From all the lawyers, it doesn't seem like new counsel, it seems like Beard's firm putting in damage control, as it's over, and they don't want him to do more harm to the firm with the case.
Or they find a shiny, new martyr to rally around, and leave this whole messy affair behind.
So Todd Haberkorn or Chuck(should something happen to chuck)
Pretty sure Chuck already fucked himself with that affidavit. Weren't there also entire sections of it missing?
Some of them are turning on Beard.
The question is if they'll also turn on Nick for his constant assurance that Beard knew exactly what he was doing and that everything is going well (which are continuing even now), or even turn on Vic if it becomes clear that he had no chance to begin with.
My money is that they turn Vic into a martyr "A good man that had his life ruined by the evil sjw's that bought the judges..."or something like that. Turning on Vic would mean taking the side of his victims in their eyes and that's the last thing they are going to do.
Vic stans will probably have a civil war amongst themselves.
The word is co-counsel. So no, beard has not been fired. Common theory is that this new guy was brought in to prevent Beard from making things even worse.
The speculation from other lawyers is that he's brought in by the firm for damage control, to make sure that the case will not continue to damage possible future sanctions on the firm, other than what they may have already incurred as a result of the case up to this point.
In their words, a "babysitter"
I love that they're partially trying to portray this as people having issue with Vic being Christian. The majority of people in this country are Christian. It's Vic being sanctimonious about his religious beliefs that's the issue, compounded with him acting in ways that fly in the face of his supposed values.
Meeee. If you all ever need to update the title again feel free to report.
No "rape rape" (to use Whoopi Goldberg's term), as far as I'm aware.
But there was an abundance of "unwanted sexual harassment and/or assault" allegations. Like the hair-pulling incident, which Vic confessed to, but claims wasn't sexual. Or the thousands of underage girls who he kisses at conventions (some girls apparently want it, others don't, the ones who don't never really made a big deal about it). Or the teenage twin cosplayers who swore that Vic tried to pressure them into having lesbian incest sex with each other for his amusement (against his extremely vocal statements that homosexuality and incest are immoral), and when they refused, he tried to shove his tongue down their throats against their will.
And then there's also the "statutory rape" claims. It has been alleged (by Vic's ex-fiancee, IIRC?) that as a part of Vic's massive promiscuity and infidelity, he grooms the underage girls in his fanclub, and meets up with them for "consensual" sex as he travels the country going to conventions. But if they're underage, then their "consent" is not valid, and that is rape. And Vic doesn't seem to care about that, as he has been quoted as saying that "age is just a number".
Vic has also been quoted as saying that "silence is consent".
Basically, there isn't enough evidence against Vic for the authorities to do anything. But this has never been about arresting Vic, or charging him with crimes. It's about highlighting his misdeeds, and about people choosing not to work with him and support him anymore.
Vic is not being sued, Vic is the one doing the suing, because he's trying to silence his accusers, and scare others into not coming forward. But Vic's so incompetent and stupid, all he did was shine a massive spotlight on his shittyness, and ensure that he's never going to work at a reputable organization ever again.
There were rumors surrounding Stephanie Nadolny's account possibly being hacked -- recent likes and whatnot implied a Pro-Vic stance -- but some unearthed texts may confirm that was the case.
(Also note Pro-Vic videos on YouTube apparently being demonetized, LOL)

This is such a legendary fuckup in judgement that it should be in textbooks.
Could the Judge decide on the case tomorrow?
I hear he has until Oct 6, but I don't see what there is to even debate or reason with.

My understanding is that if he doesn't handle things carefully, it's easier to appeal.
The Judge will dot all the i's and cross all the t's that way if there is an appeal it will be weaker.
He could. He does have 30 days from Friday's hearing to give his final ruling, and I expect he'll do that just as a matter of course.
That being said, a whole lotta shit is gonna get thrown out tomorrow, and I expect some sanctions will be levelled.
There's not enough chef kisses in the world to describe how beautifully they are fucking this whole thing up.
For everyone's sanity just follow the live tweet, no need to risk losing brain cells.
Assuming, ignoring even the fraud for a moment, as Vic's lawyer, he likely has more than one document signed by Vic, the fact that he didn't even think to scan-in a second sample of the signature, but thought adding "-tor" would make it look "different" enough... I can't even.
The Vic diehard fans vs. the alt-lite hangers-on, I imagine.
Well, that settles that then.
No fucking way...
There's no way Beard has a job after this case, right?
I can't believe this clownshow is still going. I've only been followingly lightly, but decided to stop and just wait for it all to resolve and see the whole thing at once. I feel like that was ten thousand years ago. How is it still going? How do we keep getting new fuck ups?
The best/worst part is that it just keeps going. Grab a chair and some popcorn, I doubt the show is over.
I feel like this is a bigger shitshow than that one case that the rick and morty guys did a transcript reading of. Yet its astounding how that can be the case.
Really want (he needs) Vic to lose, but I kind of hate people like this Doucette guy. They know what this world is about these days, and just try to compress all the information they can into headline-like format and make it seem so simple when often times it's not. Get a shit ton of people hanging on their every word and hype everyone up one way or the other. Get people believing that there's NO WAY Vic could lose an all this shit because he knows that's what people want to hear (unfortunately it's certainly possible he could still win). All to just to attempt boost his status.
He knows that in the end, if Vic loses he'll look like a god. If Vic wins, then fucking whatever on his part. The people that want to ditch him can and he'll be able to move on while still grabbing fame out of it. He's just a byproduct of the way things work these days I guess. I just hate a lot about the way things work these days.
Also he's a conservative, so fuck him. Don't give a fuck if he's a "never Trump". If you still stand by the GOP in pretty much any way at this point, you're a fucking piece of shit.
