Victor Mignogna v. Funimation Productions, LLC, et al. (2019) - Vic's lawsuit against Funimation, VAs, and others, for over a million dollars.

At the risk of proposing a bit of a fishing expedition, I think it'd be entirely fair to re-depose Ron and ask him why he thought "protector of women" was an accurate description of himself, among other things. Remember, his reasoning for defaming Vic was that Vic is a predator who needed defamin'.

EDIT: While we're on the topic... wouldn't it be just really super wise for Ron "make my supper or I chop up the pupper" Toye to be the first one to the settlement table, now? That is, assuming he's not willing to fall on his social justice sword for twitter points.

Oh RonRon is sooo getting re-deposed once the TCPA is over and done with. Rest assured. Remember he blew off discovery so BHBH did not have everything needed to depose him. But they aren't going to try and do it before the TCPA hearing. And yeah, they will hammer him on the prior record of violence and abuse.

But as others have pointed out, no Ron will not be the first to settle. Simply because he has nothing to offer. But he is an incredibly embarrassing little gnome to be tied to. Do you think Funi or Sony wants to be associated with this? If they are sane they will be stampeding for the exit the moment the TCPA is done. Similarly can you imagine the position that Marchi is in right now? How much of her credibility is being obliterated by having to stand next to and fully support this wife beating asshole? Just being associated with RonRon turns Marchi into a complete and total hypocrite to her adoring man hating fans. How is that going to impact her future work prospects? She is standing on her soapbox screaming assault because Vic playfully touched her ponytail (the Horror!) while she is standing in solidarity with the sociopathetic serial wife beater and would be dog murderer. There's no way that ends well for her.

Question for those familiar with Texas employment law: what kind of liability do employers have for acts of sexual harassment committed by their agents? I know in California (Government Code §12940(j)(1)) there's strict liability, so if, for example, someone acting in a management capacity on behalf of a company (eg: casting voice actors) were to distribute those roles in exchange for sexual favors not only would the agent be liable but also the business on whose behalf they were acting, even if the business wasn't aware of the malfeasance.

Also, in California I believe that they would have committed a tort against everyone who was denied a role or otherwise had their career hampered, even if that person was not propositioned. Is this also the rule in Texas?

You have to do more than that. You have to inform them why that might happen and what would be the downsides of it. It has to be something that would make sense to a layperson. You also can't have them preemptively agree to waive malpractice claims. And depending on the situation, you might even be required to outright tell them to get counsel (other than themselves) to advise them on whether waiving is even a good idea.

Making self-interested contracts and waivers with clients solely to get yourself off the hook is highly frowned upon and a violation of ethics.

Some lawyers will outright refuse to do joint defenses for that very reason, and judges will sometimes order a lawyer off a case in a blatant enough example.

Also Ty could actually move to disqualify. The court is obligated to respond to obvious conflicts of interest that are clearly prejudicial to a party. However, for obvious reasons, courts are skeptical of the kindly motives of lawyers asking them to kick off the other side's lawyers.

I have a feeling Ty might address this tonight on Nicks show. He’s busy for the next couple weeks which is why he wasn’t on last night and yet they mutually scheduled tonight. We’re gonna hear something blue ballsy and Nick said we’d get something even juicer tomorrow as well.

Things are rolling along nicely for Vic it seems.

Very late on the reply, but Ty mentioned that some of the BHBH peeps are OCD workaholics.

But in a way you're right. Instead of sweating bullets like Lemwaaah et al, they'll be grinning like maniacs.

The conflict here might not even be in the way we are thinking. Yes this might be overly prejudicial, but only regarding Ron. It is however extremely valid evidence with which to call into question Monica’s judgement regarding things such as abuse and assault. Her last two boyfriends were literally a Pedophile and a serial violent abuser. Yet it is Vic eating a jelly bean that she finds problematic. This discovery is directly on point regarding many of Monica’s actions. That has to put things in a very difficult place for MoRonica’s lawyers.

That has the side effect of making her look sympathetic.

Who can he turn over? For what? The only thing he can settle for is a lot of fucking money and the most groveling of apologies and complete retractions and agreement to a permanent shut the fuck up or owe a million bucks instantly if you don't.

I mean I'm assuming that. Probably Ty (and Vic who is the captain of the case) would be reasonable but they have no reason at all to go easy on that fruitcake because nobody needs him at all. The sheepdog is Old Yeller to the SJWs who are sucking the soy out of his micropenis now if he retracts anything. All they care about is that he's currently attacking their lynch victim.

Well I mean look how much he gave up to one of his ex wives for a chance at custody. Maybe he had contact with other people who committed TI like Sabat or Sean. Maybe he would be willing to apologize, issue a retraction, and throw Monica and everyone else involved under the bus in order to not end up a penniless wretch. I suppose it would come down to how much he values his money over his relationships.

"Bragging?"

They asked him what he did at his depo, he answered fairly modestly.

There's so much wrong with this first section. First the bragging, then the fact that he's being aggressively involved in the public controversy...I mean, come on, he's the friggin plaintiff, of course he's going to be heavily involved. Then the whole public figure thing again.

They dont come right and say it, but they basically are saying Vic is a public figure because he is engaging publicly with a matter of public concern over an incident they started. Which is not how public figure law works at all. You dont get to start a public shitstorm and then claim your target is a public figure because he is trying to clean all the shit off himself.

Vic actually hasn't tweeted much about it at all. At cons when asked he's specifically said he doesn't want to talk about it. Ron and Monica on the other hand wouldn't shut their whore mouths and Casey had the memorable "I told him to stop" comment to Judge Chupp.
