It's looking like Nick is trying to retain Randazza. And to grift a GoGriftMe for it.
That said, the complaint is a complete joke. It states three claims, defamation, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and negligent infliction of emotional distress.
The last two are absolute idiocy and a complete joke. It's embarrassing the LanDUI-tier lawyer even made them.
The defamation is even worse, though, because it's the only conceivable claim that actually exists, considering Nick has called him a pedophile and other similar things. It's at least a colorable claim (even though the dude probably actually is a pedo). However, to plead defamation, you generally have to plead that specific statements by the defendant constitute defamation.
You can't just say "that mufugga deformationed muh character!" And that's exactly what this weak-ass complaint does.
It does not cite a single specific statement by Nick that would constitute defamation, instead just generally alleging that a list of hours-long streams somehow generally defamed him.
This is an absolute joke of a case. The only question is whether the dismissal will be with leave to amend, or will simply be with prejudice.
If it's with leave to amend, or the dipshit lawyer who filed it realizes what absolute garbage he filed and amends it on his own, there probably is actually a colorable claim.
It's just been done so incompetently even at the outset that the lawyer should be embarrassed, even though Monty is already a lolcow.
The fact that Nick is going to grift funding a lawyer on the level of Randazza for this, even though even Nick could do this on his own, is kind of funny.
Also ETA: you say two things that are kind of weird to me.

How could Rekieta have been served over a month before the lawsuit was even filed?
