(i was backreading a bit lol)

I kind of see Gio's articles akin to a burn book. It's a little hard to "disprove" something about yourself when the thing you want to take down is filled with incredibly petty attacks of character and shit that doesn't actually have anything to do with your business or that the person writing it can prove has anything to do with your business. Most of the gripes in both of Gio's articles center around the way that Hussie treated him legally by trying to get him to sign an NDA to get the licensing agreement finished, or going around him to just work with Bambosh. Which is why I just don't agree with the idea that because Hussie's lawyers "backed off" from the idea of going after Gio for those articles in the first place that it is proof that they are "true".

Would Cady from Mean Girls be able to "disprove" she's a "fugly slut" lol?(ref to a movie) Probably not. Libel cases are also really difficult anyways because of this, and it's not uncommon for people to try to get bad things spoken about them on the internet offline and failed. But a lot of people assume failure means everything said about them is true, which isn't the case because there's a lot of reasons such cases fail.
