A Chicago man is suing 27 women in the Chicago Facebook Group "Are we dating the same guy." Attorneys for the man liken disparaging remarks made about him to a digital scarlet letter.
Lies would qualify as defamatory. But most guys talked about in groups like this are not added on a whim. And to have that many women mentioning him, there isn’t much chance of all 27 lying. Hell, the fact that there even is 27 women that dated him that found the page… says alot.
Why? Just because a lot of people are saying bad stuff about you, doesn’t mean it is true. Seeing how they mentioned verifiable things, like “he has an STD”, they could easily be proven in court. The lawsuit exists because he didn’t know those women, who were defaming him, to a group of 100k women. 27 out of 100k randos lying, especially moderators of the group? That doesn’t seem unlikely, especially if you try to get a post “moving” so there isn’t empty space for people who are asking about a dude.

Most women are probably not posting on a whim, but there are certainly people out there who thrive on drama and enjoy lying about people just to get a thrill out of it.

Where did you see that?
It actually does. 27 people, chances are almost zero they are all randomly lying without any clear motive.
Guy seems questionable, but I dunno man, Internet’s weird. Snape Wives was a thing.
Oh absolutely. The article is very vague, but his behaviour seems quite fishy, based on the little information we have…
