Doodie Lo Says He Won $11 Million In Lawsuit Against FTN Bae

by

Doodie Lo has won an $11 million lawsuit against his ex-girlfriend, FTN Bae, after claiming that she spread false allegations that he sexually abused her son. FTN Bae was reportedly arrested and charged with perjury in Miami. Speaking with The Shade Room about the case, Doodie Lo remarked that he’s “so happy” about the result. However, he says he’s unclear when his ex will come up with the money. “She better pay soon,” he added.

Doodie Lo further spoke about his goals for the lawsuit with The Shade Room. “My ultimate goal is to spread awareness to those innocent of false accusations, especially innocent men who have been accused of sexual assault. This issue further highlights the dark side of #MeToo: What happens when men are falsely accused?” he said.

Doodie Lo also confirmed the result of the defamation suit in a celebratory post on Instagram. “This Was A Long Stressful Milestone In My Life,” he said. “Throughout The Trials And Tribulations I Stood Tall After All The Lies And Backlash ‼Special S/O To @arielesq305 My Attorney Was Up Sleepless Nights Answering The Phone Anytime Of The Night I Love My Team STOP PLAYING WITH MY NAME FIRST IN HISTORY JUSTICE FIRST TIME BEING SERVE FROM A SCORN WOMAN WHO TRIEDTO RUIN ME CANCEL HER STAY BLESSED. The 11 We Holding Up IS FOR 11 MILLION.”

FTN Bae made the allegations back in 2021. At the time, Doodie announced that she made “several recordings” of her 5-year-old son making the allegations and “taunted” him with the recordings before going public. He labeled the accusations “false, defamatory and injurious” before later filing his defamation lawsuit. Doodie’s lawyer spoke about FTN Bae’s case during a live stream with his client on Instagram at the time. “If there was something against my client there would be a case open. There is not a case open. Young lady I really feel bad for her, I feel bad for her son because this is just not ok honestly,” they said, as noted by Hollywood Unlocked. “For her to say these things with no evidence, for her to put these things out there all because she’s upset, all because things didn’t work out her way. You can’t just lie on people without consequences.”

Andrew Tate Threatens To Sue Alleged Victim For $300 Million For Defamation

by

Andrew Tate threatened to sue an alleged victim for 249 million pounds for defamation after she accused him of rape and human trafficking. Meanwhile, he and his brother are currently behind bars in Romania on related charges following a December arrest. Moreover, the woman’s U.S. lawyers claim she received a cease and desist letter from him and his brother in December. To clarify, Tate’s threatened lawsuit equals $300 million in U.S. currency. What’s more is that the two brothers allegedly threatened to involve the victim’s family in the lawsuit as well.

Furthermore, a Romanian court recently found that Tate seemingly brainwashed women who worked for him and denied any trafficking. In addition, the brothers denied all claims and filed legal action against two women in Romania last April. While this occurred before Tate’s arrest, authorities believe he tried to intimidate witnesses and prevent any revelations.

“In April 2022, you falsely stated to a third party that our Client [Andrew Tate] human trafficked you, abused you and held you against your will,” the cease and desist letter read. “You have repeated false and defamatory statements to the police, the media, and another United States citizen about the Tate brothers.” On the other hand, lawyer Benjamin Bull said his client is a key witness against Tate in this legal battle. As such, he believes this letter is an egregious attempt to silence testimonies. “They want these young ladies to climb into a hole and hide, never come forward [or] describe what they saw and what happened to them,” he stated. Bull works for the National Centre on Sexual Exploitation in the U.S. “It’s clearly an effort to intimidate.”

Meanwhile, lawyers from Tate’s team confirmed the letter’s existence, but denied any such intimidation. In other news, officials took much of Tate’s assets after raids on his Romania properties. While the six alleged victims in the case who will testify are anonymous, they received huge hatred and even death threats from Tate supporters online after their identities leaked online. Also, no one brought specific charges against the brothers yet, but they remain in preventative custody as authorities investigate. Regardless, come back to HNHH for the latest news and updates on Andrew Tate.

Amber Heard Explains Decision To Settle Johnny Depp Case

by

Amber Heard has announced that she will be settling her defamation case against Johnny Depp. The actress explained the “very difficult decision” in a statement posted on Instagram, Monday morning.

“It’s important for me to say that I never chose this,” Heard chiefly wrote in her statement. “I defended my truth in doing so my life as I knew it was destroyed. The vilification I have faced on social media is an amplified version of the ways women are re-victimised when they come forward.”

“Now I finally have an opportunity to emancipate myself from something I attempted to leave over six years ago and on terms I can agree to,” she continued. “I have made no admission. This is not an act of concession. There are no restrictions or gags with respect to my voice moving forward.”

It’s unclear how big the settlement is; however, a source close to Depp tells PEOPLE it’s “a seven-figure settlement.”

They added: “The judgment is in place. But part of the point of appealing it for her was both the financial reasons but also to ensure there wasn’t a judgment in place against her — that has significant ramifications. This judgment is never going away. Depp has said it wasn’t about money. He just wanted the truth.”

A jury had previously found that Heard defamed Depp in her op-ed about domestic violence. The court awarded him more than $10 million in damages. Heard later decided to appeal the defamation verdict back in November.
