It's not unlawful to have malice for someone as long as you don't actually do anything. I could hate your guts, but as long as I didn't try to harm you, I've done nothing wrong.Except, aren't the VAs and the main part of KV going so hard that you could nail them for either one?
For actual malice, you could make cases for them, sure.
Monica says Vic attacked her in the hotel room. Vic says he didn't. At TCPA, Vic's version of events is presumed true, which means Monica's version is false. Since only Monica and Vic witnessed that event (or non-event), that would necessarily mean Monica knew she was lying, thus actual malice. If it gets to trial, and the jury believes that Monica's version of the story did not happen, again, it would necessarily lead to the conclusion that Monica knowingly lied.
Same with Jamie's story. Did Vic batter her in the manner she describes? Jamie says it happened. Vic said it didn't. If the jury believes that Vic did not attack Jamie, it would lead to the conclusion that Jamie knowingly lied, because she spread a story about an event that did not happen.
Ron and Funimation are little murkier.
