Nicholas Robert Rekieta / Rekieta "Law" / Actually Criminal / @NickRekieta - Polysubstance enthusiast, "Lawtuber" turned Dabbleverse streamer, swinger, "whitebread ass nigga", snuffs animals for fun, visits 🇯🇲 BBC resorts. Legally a cuckold who lost his license to practice law. Wife's bod worth $50. The normies even know.
LMAO that sounds about right. That's a parasocial relationship for you right there. I wonder if there's a way to see Nick's top superchatters (both by chats and volume) from his Youtube.
What kind of mong busts his balls working the tills at Home Depot for minimum wage, lives in his parents house and sends the spare cash he earns to a Trust Fund baby who earned over a million last year and just blew $200k on a couple of cars?
You've really got to be a special kind of retarded to piss away what little money you're earning like that.
"I have a RARE night with Lady Rackets"
Hmmmm, so who has her for the other nights? It's almost as if he's dropping hints.
Wait! hold up! So after quality time with your lady, instead of cuddling or sleep you're gonna get out of bed and do a stream? Is he going to update Locals what he got up to with LR or something?
What used to annoy me when I watched his streams is how late he would announce shit like this. He had to have known before 6:45PM that he wasn't going to be doing a show, especially if its for a date night. He always announces these cancellations late for no good reason.
I think that his fans used to let a lot of this go as part of his 'quirky' charm. It was even a meme on the channel about how late hed be. Now disaffected, he does not get the benefit of the doubt. I would venture to day he burned a lot of good will.
On a related note, I have updated the Who's Who post as suggested. Many thanks. I will continue to add to it. Look for it to be added to the next Panoptes log if you want a local copy.
If Cynthia sued Nick and Nick read the filings I'd probably watch his show again because both the filings and Nick's response would be the stupidest, most hilarious shit ever, like the Montagraph lolsuit on steroids. Isn't Cynthia in New York? She should totally hire Kevin Landau too for that matter, ol' LanDUI would probably do it for a few spare bottles of wine.
I for one can't wait for the sound legal arguments in the complaint of "I knooooow other people are the one's saying tortious things, but Noseman knows it's happening and has sportscar money so make him liable"

Scrolling through the tism the past few pages has me questioning if I'm understanding correctly. Cynthia is now wanting to sue Nick for stuff other people did in some chat (like dox and defame her/her family) and instead of just going after the retards saying tortious shit she's going after Nick because "he knows" it's happening? Lolcow worthy behavior right there
There isn't really any kind of case there at all. To sue Nick, there would have to be more than just "he knows" involved. The more normal path for something like this would be to sue the actual person or persons who defamed and then through depositions get enough information - if it exists - to sue Nick.
One route I guess would be a civil conspiracy to defame. It would have to be shown that Nick directly encouraged, organized or participated in a plan to defame. He has Section 230 protections over material published in the forum. So the mere act of something being in the forum can't be used against him. Proving an actual conspiracy would obviously be very difficult.
I for one met the guy, hung out with him for a few hours. Yeah, he got kind of plastered during the live show, and I watched him not a drink a drop the rest of the night until we all left at 6 am. Assumptions aren't worth shit.
Reeee! You don’t know him like I know him, he drank water. WATER!!! He didn’t have to either, there was still a stale beer just sitting there. It was the most majestic thing I’ve seen since my ex-wife gave birth to our black boyfriend’s son’s baby. I literally came as I was posting it to r/nextfuckinglevel.
Hydro-prude wouldn’t get it.
If Cynthia does sue Nick, I wonder if he'll hire Randazza for that as well or do the smart thing and hire someone local who won't burn ~100k in less than 2 months defending a lolsuit.

It's one thing to be late because if the stream starts you can guess that he's going to get online eventually. The problem is when he goes dark and doesn't even post anything on his Twitter. He needs to take a page from DSP's book and start posting streaming schedules.

I don't think he has recourse to section 230 (if I gathered correctly the accusation was related to a Discord chat) but I also don't understand what the cause of action would be. I would have liked to have seen some receipts as to what the specific grievances were rather than a lolsuit threat. If crazy Locals members are contacting her family that seems like a reason to get a restraining order if necessary, but I don't see why you would sue Nick or what for. As it stands it makes the Vickers' master plan surrounding the Faith Vickers diary look like a very viable legal strategy in comparison.

230 applies to nearly anything. It even once applied to an email sent by one person that just pasted an allegedly defamatory email sent by someone else. Running a forum or a chat is way more clear-cut than that. His choice to moderate or not moderate makes no difference.
Here's a case from just last year about someone suing over a chat:
The protections are ridiculously broad and cover essentially all media where someone exercises a moderation function or even forwards other people's content.
While I do not watch his content, I think he is more genuine than most creators (but no less grifty and MORE so if anything) because when Nick brought up the Balldo and how he used it, Joe declined to say ANYTHING about his intimate relationship moments with his wife. Even when Nick pressed, he came out ans refused.
I've watched quite a bit of Joe over the years. I find him a bit whiny at times, but his IRL community around him for sure has kept him in line, for which he is even thankful for. I assume his loyalty to what Nick has done for him, keeps him on stream with awkward shit like happened a few nights ago.
But I wonder at what point does Nick go so far off the deep end, that people start distancing themselves from him? I guess the orbiters don't go big at him until they can outgrow him, and at that point, you don't punch down- you just ignore the small/old fish, no point in going after the has-been.
@EgalitarianBtch How cool would it be if the Kiwis and Locals got along... No more doxxing and thottery, no more shitting on each other, to help cure Nick of his addictions and elevate him (and us all as a result).
It seems Mandy_K has taken notice of Nick's addictions. On that note, there is something I would like to share.
I had been puzzling over why Nick is doing what he's doing in the way he is doing it. It began with analyzing Nick's approach to marriage problems and how he and Kayla were living out what he prescribed for marriages in trouble. It was like watching Nick prescribe medicine to someone who is sick, while taking that same medicine, while also claiming not to be sick because taking the medicine means he's healthy.
To put it another way, Nick's methodology invites the idea that there is something wrong with the marriage, yet he maintains that everything is fine. It begs the question: is Nick doing what normal married couples do or is this more what desperate couples headed for divorce do?
Then I shifted focus onto the kind of support Kayla was/is giving Nick as a clue to what the overall problem(s) could be.
From Nick and Kayla's perspective, the problem is NOT:
Drinking, Kayla freely drinks with him and supplies him with booze.
Drugs, Nick is on drugs when he's out partying with Kayla.
Porn, Kayla is actively feeding Nick pictures of other women and participating in lewdposting.
Degeneracy, as they both don't recognize their non-monogamous proclivities as such, and are (at best) overly comfortable with including others in the sexual aspects of their marriage. This includes exhibitionist activities of a sexual nature, since the purpose is to include the public in what is private therefore making it naughty and fun (that's the whole appeal).
The above are, in fact, Kayla's way of helping Nick (& how Nick helps himself)
To be clear, the above are all problems in themselves (they are addictive and harmful), but these vices are Nick and Kayla's solution to a larger problem, a problem that is worse (to their mind) than their solutions. These vices are usually seen as a quick/easy way to manage stress (they feel good) and as long as Nick and Kayla both consent, they can call it "monogamous" and "silly" fun in the pursuit of their wellbeing.
So, given the prioritization of their values and their methodology (and shifting boundaries), it appears that Nick and Kayla have legitimized/consented to anything that would help them de-stress and/or save their marriage. Whatever Nick and Kayla think the problem is, these "solutions" only offer temporary relief at best and have resulted in more problems/stress.
The problem itself could just be the stress of being a successful content creator and the challenges that can bring. Boring to be sure, but then Nick is a lazy, boring guy. His problems are cliché even to the point that his answer to KF's speculation about his mid-life crises was to buy a Mustang and immediately drive it off-road. Another cliché would be if Nick ignored his wife to the point of infidelity (of some kind) perpetrated by either Nick or Kayla. Not uncommon, but still serious in it's own way.
Boredom is another likely candidate for either of them given their lifestyle, though it evokes much less sympathy. In any case, I doubt that Nick or Kayla's problem(s) are uncommon. They just chose to solve them in a very disappointing way.
TL/DR: people like Mandy_K who want to help Nick with his addictions, would need to somehow invert Nick's thought process on the matter and adjust his values so that he (and Kayla) can recognize these "solutions" as the problems they truly are. Success is highly unlikely.

I think Joe appeared on the stream to be a "Mensch," which is a Jewish cultural thing: The idea is that you should be someone with extreme integrity and loyalty, and go to great lengths to help out the people who have helped you. From Joe's perspective, Nick is a prime target for this kind of behavior - he helped Joe get started on Youtube (to a moderately successful career) and he is clearly on a downward trend. Joe's Orthodox role models would likely have encouraged him to reach out to Nick to help him in this situation, but to avoid being dragged in. Given how Joe was reacting to Nick's sex talk and steering him back on topic, I think he probably knew that Nick needed some help to get back to his old streaming career. I also wouldn't be surprised if the topic was Joe's idea.
Most of the lawtubers who have decent-sized channels have already distanced themselves from Nick, though. He used to have streams with people who have real law degrees and 100k+ subscribers, and now his hangers-on are much less successful, and are just trying to grab at what remains of his viewer base.

Some people are just not built to be self-employed - it takes maturity and discipline to do it well. That's why you never see small business owners having problems with their wealth (they have to develop a lot of both qualities), but you see celebrities having huge issues with their own success. Nick has neither of those qualities, and has a wife who is not encouraging him to develop those qualities. He is still mentally a teenager, trying to rebel against the authority figures who have spent his life trying to steer him toward success.
