What do you think of the man suing 27 women on the, "Are We Dating the Same Man" website?

[Anonymous]

A Chicago man, Nikko D'Ambrosio, is suing 27 women he says defamed his character on the "Are we dating the same man" Facebook group website which is aimed at outing men who are perhaps dangerous, and make women feel unsafe on their dates, etc. so that other women will know to stay away.

One of the women posted the man's picture on the website which he felt was a violation of his privacy and claims what the women said about him being "clingy" and a "psycho" were unfounded. Demanding a trial by jury, D'Ambrosio alleged in the complaint that the post and subsequent comments caused him humiliation, emotional distress, and reputational damage, and resulted in unspecified lost earnings.

D'Ambrosio is seeking damages exceeding $75,000 and injunctive relief to prevent the defendants from continuing to publish statements about him.

That group is super toxic and yes, harmful. I was in one of them for a short time but it was so toxic I left. There are some seriously unstable women in that group.
However, not sure how he’s going to collect damages. Most lawyers prefer to sue corporations or someone very wealthy, I’m assuming these women aren’t of that caliber financially.
The other thing is the value of evidence. If you post texts that have proof of these things happening then you probably can’t say it’s defamation.
Based on the descriptions I’m not sure if it’s a solid case or not — just saying someone is clingy or psycho is an opinion and subjective. Which we should be able to express our opinions on someone to an extent.
Now if they bodyshamed him and said he has a small penis and if the women posted compromising photos that’s absolutely unacceptable and could be taken further.
It’s a gray area for me if it’s a case or not that holds a ton of merit. I guess we’ll wait and see.
Don’t join these groups. No matter what. Do your own research on romantic prospects, a lot of info is publicly available.

[Asad1ONE1]

Wow I'm surprised you left. It's one of the main (out of many) reasons men are vary of women these days.

[Anonymous]

Lol this is why I’m only dealing with 1 man or 2. No more. No more than 2. It doesn’t go past 2. I only have the attention span for 2 men.

And yes you’re supposed to research them and look them up online. Anywhere you can. So that you know exactly who you’re interacting with.

I’ve found criminal records and everything!

Well... could be a good thing. But can see it backfiring.

He can only sue if they are in the USA - not outside. He will also need to prove that their claims are false - which is not easy considering its more than one woman's word against his.

But on the plus side, it could make Facebook and others take defamation more seriously. Especially if this case goes ahead. Would also put their privacy controls front and centre too.

Would set the precedent of websites having to keep longer and more detailed logs, in case a court requests them.

As for his picture - if he's willingly put it on social, then it's public property in effect by their ToS. So he's not going to get anywhere with that. As for what he's done (or not) hope he's kept his Whatsapp and messages clean and is willing to share them. Else he could look worse than he thinks.

[cloud9vortex1234]

It depends on what he did and if they have any proof to back up what they say. If there throwing around accusations without any proof that could ruin his reputation then I would probably want to sue them as well. From his perspective, I'm sure he was acting normal, but you would think for these women to say something that he took things (psycho, being clingy) to the extreme. Stuff like this definitely doesn't need to go unchecked. Peoples reputations can be ruined on Social Media within a short period of time. And you know what? I bet you every one these women are Single Moms.

[rigmarole]

Women who believe gossip are morons. Women who believe gossip on internet websites are probably the dumbest grouping of women on the planet. Anyone can go on any site and troll any person with endless bullshit. Dudes could even post their ex-girlfriend's picture on sites like the one you mentioned making false statements under a pseudonym as a girl and claim their ex-girlfriend is a tranny with a three inch needle dick and herpes or whatever. You see men on girl accounts on Girls Ask Guys every day making penis questions or whatever... You should know better... Scrolling through this question it's amazing how gullible most of you women are, openly willing to accept information like that as if it were fact. Bunch of brain dead girls on here.

[IslaTheWitch]

I don't care about him.

Publishing his image without his consent was what triggered the whole mess. Whatever he did is not important. This woman broke the law.

I hope it will teach others that private vendetta never works as expected. There are ways along the law to seek justice.

[Asker]

That's not entirely true. In the US, if you take an image of someone in a public space, i.e. restaurant, park, etc, there is legally to be no expectation of privacy. You are able to publish their image as long as you are not profiting from it (because that's a different legal matter). Articles have not said whether the photo was taken in a public space, but if it were taken in his residence for example, he would definitely have a case against her.

[IslaTheWitch]

If he is suing, it means he has a basis for that. I assume it was a photo he sent to her. So she had no right to use it.

[RingOfFire]

"In the US, if you take an image of someone in a public space, i. e. restaurant, park, etc, there is legally to be no expectation of privacy."

That is correct, but not relevant.

Yes, it is permissible under law to take a picture of someone in a public place with or without their consent.

But that is not the issue here. The issue here is how you USE that picture. And not all uses of someone's picture are permitted by law.

[RingOfFire]

I think that anyone posting accusations on a website like that and particularly the website itself is asking for legal trouble. It is very foolish to post personal accusations about a person publicly. If that is the actual purpose of the website I think it will soon be sued out of existence.

[wolfcat87]

You can file a lawsuit for any reason in the U. S. Doesn't necessarily mean there's any real legal basis for it. They get dismissed all the time. Most likely the photos are legal unless he was nude. Their insults may be things he cannot prove to be lies. We won't know until he wins or not. He may win if they made actual statements that he can prove to be untrue, he may win on a basis of harassment or cyber bullying, or he may win because he can prove he lost money. That all seems unlikely, but who knows. Lawyers are always the winners, because they always get paid.

[LazerBean]

For it to be passed as defamation of character, the allegations he is being accused of have to be false. That's going to be hard for him to prove considering the allegations are that he is "clingy" and a psycho". I wouldn't be surprised is the case gets thrown out. At the end of the day, I don't care if the male hoe wins or female hoes. Sounds like they are already reaping what they sow and will continue to do so.

[BananaNanaa29]

I agree. Read my comment as well.
Lol it’s probably not going to get far.
I’ve been through the legal process (sued ex employer).
He’ll need to really prove how badly this affected his life. And disprove their statements too which is going to be difficult because past solid written proof it’s just he said she said statements.
I really want to know more about what was said about him!

[DreamLife7]

He has every right to sue. A lot of you women get mad when a man doesn't want you and try to force them to like you. When they don't like you y'all slander these men's name. Maybe this is the lesson you women need. He was probably never with any of them

[BananaNanaa29]

The problem with these groups is it’s usually an “ex” of some sort who’s the ring leader wanting the man back. So they cockbloxk other women from getting with him. I’ve seen this so much. Also like none of them are exclusive with the man usually, they’re just trying to hurt their own feelings.

[DreamLife7]

Exactly

[BananaNanaa29]

I encountered that. Was dating a guy and his ex found out, he just kept sleeping with her but wasn’t even dating her, and she started coming at me age shaming me (I was younger) and texting him about how I’m too young for him and she can’t believe he took me to expensive places for dates.
Real bitches there.

[Asad1ONE1]

The only question I have is why we never hear about men forming similar groups against women?

[Asad1ONE1]

Either men are stupid, or women are far more dangerous. Or both.

[Asad1ONE1]

Pretty much "femcels". And it makes even even more SICK how only men are in the spotlight involving these narratives.

[Asker]

Yes, any old person can sue, but you cannot declare anything like "he has been slandered" based on what other people have done and said on other websites. You have to look at this particular case, and we have yet to hear from the women involved, or if he even has enough evidence to have a case to begin with.

[DreamLife7]

@asker, that's slander and harrassment, so yes, you can be sued. He can file a restraining order against you, too. So you need to grow up and move on. He rejected you and accepted it

[DreamLife7]

@asker you have no right to do what you did. You're bitter

[smne35]

Waste of the courts time and shows how ridiculously some people are especially over something like this man get serious you're not in kindergarten anymore there's more important things going on than something as, it is his right to pursue this if that's what keeps him up at knight, so who am I to knock this guy for doing what he has a right to, it's clear it's that important to him

[slatyb]

There's no cause of action. Comments about his personality are just opinions and cannot be libelous. He can be photographed in public without his consent. The photo 8s owned by the photographer who is free to publish it. Who is representing him? He's going to end up liable for the defendants legal fees.

[Joshydavid25]

I mean good on him if it really defamation, or if he can prove it's defamation.. Posting pics can constitution a violation of privacy depending on where he lives.. But in some places it's not exactly illegal.. That all depends on if they really did spew lies and cause him damage.. I don't really see it going too far..

[Anonymous]

We need to start doing this to all our exes! They demand 75 k for that we can demand like a million for all the stuff they put us through.

We just need to document it all and record it!

I'd have sued like 20 guys who I met online dating apps!

[msc545]

This is pretty much like the metoo shit. One woman gets butthurt about something or other gets her friends together who get their friends together who all swear up and down that the guy did something really bad or illegal to them and people start thinking well. If x number of women are saying this it must be true. It isn't true. I think these women better have some relatively good evidence that what they're saying is true or they're likely to end up on the wrong end of that defamation lawsuit.

[Daniela1982]

Come on! Who is going to put their self at risk of a lawsuit for some another woman? Especially if it wasn't true. I certainly wouldn't. I got too much to lose. Now maybe these women were all street walkers who he stiffed - in more than one way. But then their testimony would be easy to discredit. They would say anything for a buck or line of cocaine.

[msc545]

@Daniela1982 What risk? The only risk and expense is to the man. College women do this stuff all the time.

[pickles77]

Well sure if he lost a well paying job making 75k plus that’s pretty reasonable. Women always say things based on how they feel. That guys a creep, that guys a stalker etc For literally normal behavior when guys don’t have the rizz. But that’s not something you put out publicly. If you want have a private group and say these things whatever but someone shouldn’t be losing their job because someone found a public platform to vent on.

[Astarlessnightsky]

He is right, you cannot (or better aren't allowed to) post pictures of strangers online without their consent. So it is definetely a privacy issue he can sue for. As well as defamation if that stranger is described in a negative way.

[BananaNanaa29]

I saw a post where a girl posted a pic of the guy I shirtless and his thumb was in the pic and someone asked if that’s his dick and she replied saying “honestly you probably couldn’t tell them apart”
It’s FUCKED up. I hate it.

[BananaNanaa29]

by the way different guy. Not this guy in the story***

[wolfcat87]

In the U. S. we can post pictures of other people online.

[LiamJHayden]

Posting his picture and saying that he is clingy is open to interpretation and he would probably lose if that were all she said, but calling him "psycho" does open her up to possible defamation.

[wolfcat87]

Agreed

[lightbulb27]

Its freedom of speech as long as true. It should be private not public. Of he's suing someone it should be himself for creating such environment.


I could be wrong…

[Levin]

Should know that in America, and sadly the rest of the world now, you gonna get your arse sued at the drop of a hat.

I'm not exactly sympathetic towards the women.

[Lionman95]

I would avoid him since he might have some psychological problems or at least some kind of trauma he tries to cope with suing these women.

[DarkWinterNights]

I’ve heard nothing but horrible things about that website. Another reason to not date these days. I don’t know if he has grounds to sue, but I hope he wins.

[Juxtapose]

Pretty sure that would fall under libel and that's very difficult to prove.

Maybe he can get them for harassment?

[Anonymous]

Women are evil. They would hurt this man even if he did nothing wrong. That is how women are. Just look at false rape accusations.

You can't believe a word these hoes say.

[CallmeTheKnight]

Obviously he found out one way for it to be a private group. Either he got in with a fake account or one of those women told him.
Everyone involved in this isn’t smart at all

[Space_535]

I think he has the right to do that. Some woman was so salty that he rejected her that she had to make a Facebook page on him. That’s some very desperate stuff. And that stuff stays on the internet forever, so I don’t blame him.

[Jessikaah91]

Lol there's heaps of these FB pages, I'm on one 🤣 I doubt she'd lie about it on a FB page

[MzAsh]

Well now he’s infamous across the country, not just in Chicago. This kid isn’t a victim.

[Anonymous]

Well he can sue, but it's not defamation if it's true.

[Ms_Facesitter]

Who ever is wrong or lying. It's sad either way.

[Anonymous]

I don't have enough information to know what to think about it. All we have is heresay so any opinion would be pointless.

[Tomisworthless]

Women are actual trash human beings and are only good if they’re ugly or you’re a hot guy and they want you

[Anonymous]

Why don’t people move on with their lives sheesh

[DextroShade]

Good, I hope he bankrupts these cunts to the point of sucking dick for cash in the gutter.

[Vegasrunner]

How does dating the same man make a women feel unsafe?

[Pohjolan]

I guess this is going to be a precedent case one way or the other.

[Anonymous]

I haven't heard anything about this. I'll look it up and leave me opinion on this once I do more research.

[Opinion Owner]

The guy looks sus.
And the some of the women slept with him and they got ghosted by him. Why did they even sleep with a stranger. The guy is a weirdo but so are those women.

[trellbrown84]

He should sue them penniless until they and their children are out on the street.

[Daniela1982]

Can 27 witnesses vs. one actually be wrong?

[msc545]

Yes, and the very same way that it's sometime in the past. Almost everyone that lived on this planet thought it was flat. Only a few people thought it was round. It turns out the people that thought it was flat hundreds of thousands of them. If not millions, we're wrong. Imagine that.

[Daniela1982]

And how does that relate to reality of this case? Did the 27 women live in the same sorority? You can rarely find 10 people that will tell the same story. But here you have 27. Who do you think a jury would believe?

[msc545]

Do you think those 27 women all had internet connections?

[Daniela1982]

@msc545 Not if they didn't know each other. You don't think that guys and gals can date more than one person at a time? Better stay off dating sites then. 🥱

[msc545]

Believe what you want.

[BoopBoopBeep]

Please keep us updated.

[Asker]

Don't even know if it will actually make it to trial yet, but I'd definitely watch this case. I'd love to hear from both sides and what proof they both have bc right now a lot of people are jumping to conclusions on both sides but cases are won on evidence and proof and facts not hearsay and conjecture.

[HappyWoman34]

Yes, I think he was right to press charges.

[Static_In_The_Attic]

Outstanding & most of all good for him.

[coachTanthony]

good for him.

[KrakenAttackin]

They need to be sued.

[msc545]

They certainly do need to be sued but the thing about it is that in general women are believed in men are called liars almost routinely. I'm afraid that for this guy that is exactly what's going to happen and he won't do well in court at all. Let's keep in mind that not only do women indiscriminately believe other women no matter what they say? So do an awful lot of men. I can't imagine a jury treating this man fairly. I have a feeling he pissed off one or two women who had a large number of friends. They all ganged up on him of course. Even the ones that had never met him.

[robocop666]

America has crazy lawsuits

[Anonymous]

The case will probably get thrown out.

[dolemite58]

I hope he wins
