I'm on the side that it was Anisa's idea to convince denims to start a lawsuit, cause denims doesn't seem to have enough brainpower to think this kind of stuff, while Anisa can think but is dumb enough to think this would be a great idea.
I'm also on the theory that Karl Jobst losing the defamation lawsuit to billy mitchel is part of the reason Anisa thought this could work, but either she or denims doesn't get that billy won due to very specific circunstances.
1-They settled on australian court where the law is different. On american court defamation is near impossible to prove.
2-Karl kept insisting that billy indirectly killing apollo legend which is actual real defamation. Afaik the worst ethan ever did is call denims a bitch, neanwhile denims will call hila a baby killer. There is no "case" here.
3-Billy managed to prove that Karl has done tangible damage to his career, like people refusing to employ him cause they think he killed a man. Denims has not and CANNOT prove she suffered "career damages" because she didn't. She is a reaction streamer and afaik she keeps getting followers and subs. If anything Denims got more clout from this.
But fuck it, i need to see this. I hope it's not a keffals grift where she runs with the money, i want to see the the judge's face when h3h3 lawyer brings the content cop video as evidence and shows Denims doing a conga line with Ian holding the swastika sword.
