What's weird is the victim mentality. What is happening with the Rekietas is "flat out fucking bullying"? What does that make what Rekieta did with iDubbbz or Jack Murphy then? It's literally just taking what professional content creators choose to post about themselves on the Internet and commentating on it.
There's that, but what he did with Murphy doesn't bother me much. Except insofar as it clearly shows he can give criticism, but not take it. Murphy is a big guy, and IIRC, a lot of Nick's criticism of Jack was perfectly valid.
No, what bothers me, the more I think about it, is that it seems like he intentionally and publicly told a very
VERY vicious lie about a guy who is quite probably mentally ill, and has already been hounded by trolls and people making up shit about him for years. He did this with the thought that he wouldn't do anything about it, or provide another impotent response (i.e. suing
pro se and fucking that up, again). Then after Monty actually lawyered up, Nick bragged about how it would be lucrative content for his show, how he'd continue to shit on Monty, and how he wasn't going to retract anything because he has more money than God.
It doesn't sit right with me. That seems more like bullying than anything else Nick has ever done. Much as the case with Elissa and Claire, he seems to get off on punching down. Can you even imagine how Nick would respond if a bigger personality started going in on him?
Fortunately, karma is a thing and I don't think this is playing out quite the way he expected.
I know Monty did all those stupid egg and sausage memes, so he's not an angel, but... who fucking cares? Did anybody really gave a shit? Why would Nick care? Shouldn't he be above that? Monty is just some crazy old guy. They had negligible impact on Rekieta. He could have just ignored all this. Nick's fading star is because of his own observable degenerate behavior. Not anything Monty said about Nick.
EDIT: Typo.
