Yale Law Students Get Sued for Libel, Slander, Frivolous Filings

This story doesn't get the facts right.  Heller was dismissed from the case since Ciolli never served her.  This is ironic, because if you actually read the complaint, his claims were based on abuse of process stemming from delayed service.  Also, Ciolli has never provided an ounce of proof for his claims of a "whispering campaign."  I think it is much more likely that his employment offer was revoked due to his display of questionable judgment and a demonstrated lack of respect for others in his profession. This is not a well-researched or balanced article.

Ridiculous! Stop googlebombing Brittan Heller and Heide Iravani, and file a BBB complaint if you're upset with Reputation Defender. I think they are heros for standing up to jerks like Ciolli and Autoadmit.

Read the amended complaint. The main claims the girls had were harassment and defamation, not job offers.  The Autoadmit users sent letters to their professors and employers, prompted people to take pictures of them at the gym and follow them around, and made threats of rape and violence. Just because they were able to find jobs doesn't mean they weren't harmed.

The allegations in bold above don't match what I've read about this case in reputable news and court sources. I believe the other sources -- newpapers do fact checking, and the courts did affirm that the girls made frivolous or unfounded claims, even when Ciolli asked the court to dismiss the case. Articles like this seem like pro-Ciolli trolling. Just because he filed a lawsuit doesn't mean his charges are true. There hasn't been discovery or proof presented. One girl is dismissed, so she'll never get to respond to these outrageous counterclaims.

"The allegations in bold above don't match what I've read about this case in reputable news and court sources."

LOL @ "reputable." Anyone who knows about this case knows that the "reputable" sources aren't the _reliable_ ones.

"newpapers do fact checking"

LOL @ your naivete. Heide and Brittan lied about not getting job offers; the "reputable" sources failed to uncover the lie. And that's just ONE example.

Thank you for playing.

Oh, and by the way: it's amusing how you characterize an article which dissents from the feminazi "party line" as "googlebombing." It's not "googlebombing" any more than Reputation Defender's spamming of the Washington Post, Forbes, etc. counts as "googlebombing." One of the nice features of an Open Society is the ability to read rival views of a controversy. As I read it, this article might not fit the preconceptions of those weaned by the MSM...but it's a valid dissenting view.

I formerly represented Mr. Ciolli.  Even I think that this piece overstates things a little bit, but given that Heller & Iravani have their own cheering section of academic blowhards, the hypocrisy in the critical comments is staggering.  Have they similarly criticized those who have lied and googlebombed in *favor* of Heller and Iravani?

 I presume not.  

If you've come here to call out the author for overstating things and bending the facts, fair enough.  But, if you're here to simply do more of the same, are you really helping to bring out the truth?  MyBlueHeaven," for example.  Lets see, they are "heroes" for standing up to "jerks" like Ciolli?  What did Ciolli ever do to them? And "jerks" like AutoAdmit?  AutoAdmit is a message board, not an entity.  I find nothing "heroic" about filing a lawsuit against an innocent party in bad faith.  

I'd rather see a balanced view accompanied by the truth rather than mere bluster from both cheering sections.  

Yes, this article is overstated.  I have never seen any evidence that Rep. Defender encouraged anyone to lie.  I'm not saying it never happened, but I've not yet seen anything to confirm that statement -- and I'm pretty well versed in the facts of this case.   The copyright claim is questionable, but again, I've seen no proof that RD had any hand in that.   Yes, a lawsuit was filed against Ciolli by people who knew he had committed no actionable wrong.  But again, I haven't seen any proof that RD pushed that.  Finally, the "whispering campaign" existed -- but again, I haven't seen anything that justifies accusing RD of orchestrating it.  

It makes me somewhat physically ill to defend RD.  RD is a sleazy operation.  However, I think that the last thing this issue needs is MORE misinformation -- no matter which "side" it comes from.  There are plenty of critiques that can be lobbed without bending the truth.   A pox on the author AND the crybabies in the comments section.
