Well, Hot Damn! It looks like Lauren just got BTFO'd by Vic himself!

When you say "pain in the ass" do you mean like how Monica dropped "best girl" in her deposition? Sorry, I don't really follow anime that much, especially the VA scene.

Oh please, I hope Ty grills her in front of a jury into explain8ng “best girl” is a way the weebs say “cartoon character they most want to fuck!”
 
Con career? She really thinks showing her ass, tits and cleavage at an anime convention is a career? Holy shit girl seek some help.
If you're in disbelief of that, it'd blow your mind how many people are trying to eek out a living doing stupid shit on the con circuit in hopes of escaping their Walmart careers. But the goal of being a conwhore (instead of a camwhore) is you can build a brand that survives past your short "hot chick" shelf life. You can parlay history into "guest" status (with pay if you find enough rubes) and the best goal is to one day be the next Yaya Han and have a line of product selling at stores related to your cosplay. (That last is ridiculous for most conwhores since they just basically sell 8x10 glossies of their barely covered airbrushed bodies, but it's the dream for young cosplayers I expect)

Is there a site for the 30+ cosThots to congregate, I'm curious how they're handling it.
 
Somebody's already archived it but it seems that Lynzee Loveridge would publicly post the hit pieces she's currently working on. It would make sense

Nice of them to provide evidence for the honorable chupp that the defamation is persistent and on going.

These people need a baseball bat up the anus.

(For those not in the know, a "SPA" is a Single Purpose Account," i.e., someone who hopped onto Wikipedia just to make a specific change or to push a specific agenda. I.e., exactly what that little faggot is doing. Remember, it's OK to do anything you want to anyone, as long as you're on the Right Side of History.)
 
Nick mentioned it on several occasions that it was really funny that it just so happened around the time that word first got about about Sabat's involvement- and... to be blunt... who else could have done it if not Toei?

I'm mobile now, so I'll have to post the DM when I get home; however, KamehaCon mentioned that Sabat was asked to remove the IP from his tour. They didn't explicitly *say* who told Sabat to take it down. Logically, I would assume Toei was flexing on Sabatage.

**Will edit later with screenshot of DM**

The problem is that Denbow informed Vic that he had been terminated on 1/29/2019, which predates all but the initial Polygon article. The initial Polygon article (archive) doesn't even report any of the specific instances that would have been brought up in the FUNimation investigation either. Instead it links to PULL, the since deleted "vicmeggnognahorrorstories" tumblr, and several nobodies on Twitter.

Even if most of the original affidavit doesn't get thrown out, it's completely worthless in that it wouldn't stand up to any scrutiny under deposition or witness testimony during trial. FUNimation needs to settle and get out now while it's still cheap.
Wondering how much attention Funimation's counsel pays to these affidavits. He just handed Vic's lawyers a switchblade and showed them where to stick it.

This guy is saying it's impossible for Denbow to reach the conclusions she did. He's calling her a liar.

Could this be deliberate? Like, he knows he's getting fired and decided to screw his bosses at Funimation?
 
Vice President of Operations, Karen Mika - "Funimation did not control or direct any of the Twitter or other social media posts made by Jamie Marchi or Monica Rial about Vic Mignogna. Nor did Funimation control or direct any other communications made by Jamie Marchi or Monica Rial about Vic Mignogna"

So why exactly does Scott Barretto, according to his testimony, follow social media of the VAs if Funimation can't direct them in any way?

I would guess that at least one reason is that when it comes time to negotiate a contract, they can tell the prospective VA "Well we'd be taking a chance hiring you because Ponyboner31 on twitter said you offended her 18 years ago. Tell you what. Well give you the part, but at 75% of our last deal. We MAY have to deal with the drama you understand and time is money."
 
I got a thought, probably was brought up but eh. So Nick's pretty much heavily implied that Sabat blacklists female voice actors who won't suck his dick. Now how long has this been going on, do you think? Did he go after every female voice actor, or did he start doing it to the newcomers--and when? Does this potentially mean Monica and Jamie are hypocritically totally okay with sucking (married) Sabat's cock, but couldn't handle being rejected by Vic?

Considering the men they're with, they are already low enough. This case will be their grave.

Tfw Mignogna was still top despite the wenches giving Sabat his "tribute". No wonder they went full throttle on MeTroon wagon against Vic. Nick really ought to tell us about Sabat's misdeeds.

But you know what? Nah.

Funimation seems to be a cesspit where they are all in bed with each other. Sabat does love taking new VA's under his slimy wing though and probably has them service him to get auditions. The worrying part is how many of them also seem to be in bed with costhots. Funimation,ANN and so on just seems to be full of old weebs who use their power to take advantage of other weebs.

You know I hate to say this, but honestly....before I can take Sabat doing that seriously, I would really like to see some of these VA's come out. I mean if they were blacklisted, they would not have much to lose after all. Do not get me wrong I sincerely hope Sabat has that kind of skeleton in his closet, but I just do not want to be too optimistic about this.
 
Saw it above and I hate to admit that while Vic has a strong backing and I mean it's really strong, it is not quite enough for these companies to fold over and hire Vic back immediately. Though RT is on their own as Vic isn't going to save them regardless of any decision. Funi is really dancing on the line by not settling and it really is advised just to settle on this matter before the clowns make them pay a lot more money. That money is coming but from whose pocket is the question.
From everything I've read, both here and abroad, RT is about to go under on their own accord. Sucks to be them, but then again, playing stupid games with your fans and finances means winning stupid prizes of being shit out of luck!

As for other VA studios, if the Plaintiff can get himself a win with this lawsuit, it may take them some time to realize that he was the actual victim. However when enough time has passed, and this whole mess simmers down some, they will eventually come to that conclusion, and offer an olive branch to come back to work with them.

As for Funi, the other Defendants, et al.: since the depositions, its been a revolving game of who's standing in front of the truck to get hit. It's clearly telling that the Defendant's are not acting on a united front, and that boys and girls, is what will cost them this lawsuit.

Take them down, take his damage money, and move on.
I believe that is the whole point of this lawsuit now. Remember, they were clearly discussing "bridge-burning" even in the depos, so yeah. Besides, IF Funi somehow survives all of this, that well will be well beyond poisoned for the Plaintiff to go work at again. Even just settling with him will in itself say the well is poisoned.

Has it been brought up that Sabat may be the driving force behind this coordinated fucking over of Vic's life? He's high up administratively at Funimation, isn't he? What if he promised Monica and Jamie more roles/money/things they want (including snack cakes and possibly an appointment with a master aesthetician who can un-fuck Monica's brows) if they helped him get rid of Vic?
I suspect that this will be brought up in the second round of litigation if there is one. A strategy such as this is to start at the bottom (the actual aggressors of the acts), then work your way up the chain of command (the enablers of the acts). Why do you think people keep asking "if Funi permitted this kind of behavior" or "was it standard operating procedure to have locks on the voice booths"? All those things go towards the management level of Funi (and possibly Sony).

Con career? She really thinks showing her ass, tits and cleavage at an anime convention is a career? Holy shit girl seek some help.
Let me look at those photos from the Insta account...
Flat ass: Check
Flatter chest: Check
Cleavage: Looks like a stick
Career: Pressing X
Holy shit girl seek some help: has there been definitive confirmation that it is indeed a girl?

Because those two chucklefucks have been told to be the sacrificial lambs by corporate would be my guess. That or they're that fucking stupid they thought both of them either showing how incompetent at their jobs they are, or how useless the whole company is that it wasn't able to lock this bullshit down the second it began to rumble despite there apparently being two people who oversee this bullshit.

The reality is, after all the stuff Nick and Ty was pointed out to them about the contract law they're desperately throwing out chaff because, really, the convention booking, the social media watching etc. They were employees more than they were independent contractors and likely wrangled as such. Barretto is supposed to watch the VA accounts so they don't spoil shit, or ya know, drag them into a lawsuit.

Basically he was supposed to sit there and eat his ethnic peace crisps while the VAs "cancel" Vic. He wasn't supposed to fight back, nor drag the whole sorry lot of them into the whole debacle.

I'm gonna be optimistic and say the ancient VAs like Kara Edwards, Monica Rial, and Jamie Marchi had significantly less succ to do than someone like Leah Clark.
