Man Sues 27 Women For 75 Million Dollars In Defamation For Trolling

A man from Chicago took legal action against 27 women, seeking $75 million in damages for writing negative reviews about him on a Facebook page. Nikko D'Ambosio found himself getting brutally trolled on a page called 'Are We Dating The Same Guy', where women were alleging that he is clingy and a serial 'ghoster'. The 32-year-old said in his statement that his photograph and name were being explicitly shared on the group, leading to defamation and an invasion of privacy. Facebook's parent company Meta was also named in the lawsuit.

According to Fox News, the Facebook group describes itself as a community of "Red Flag Awareness" US where women share details about their dates and "keep each other safe from toxic men." D'Ambosio's complaint states, "The defendants broadcast their outrageous, cruel, and malicious lies about the plaintiff with the knowledge that the statements were false or with reckless disregard as to whether or not they were true."

According to Nikko D'Ambrosio, this ordeal began after he met a woman at an event in Chicago last year, leading to consensual sex the same night. The woman allegedly made the post on the Facebook group claiming he got too clingy, showed off his wealth, and kept talking about his hidden "bad side".

That's when other women began commenting on the post, claiming to have met him too. One woman commented, "I went out with him a few times just over a year ago. He told me what I wanted to hear until I slept with him, and then he ghosted." Another woman wrote, "He's been posted here before. The poster said he sent her a slew of texts calling her names because she didn't want to spend the night with him.”

D'Ambosio stated that the woman who first posted about him did so with her real name before changing it to 'anonymous' after his lawyers contacted her last month. His lawsuit states, "Their wrongful conduct is so outrageous in character and so extreme in degree that it is beyond all possible bounds of decency and is to be regarded as atrocious and utterly intolerable in a civilized community."

The lawsuit further reads, "Thousands of men have been potentially defamed by members of the Facebook group via these online publications, and remain entirely unaware of the attacks on their character as a result of the social media group's private status and heavily moderated members list."
