Alyssa seems to confirm that she lost her Kotaku job and is having trouble finding another because she can't fucking log off.

I saw this on bluesky first, a logical place to post such an embarrassing thing because you need to have an account to read it, but then I saw she ALSO posted it to her public twitter.

Hey Alyssa, the people who you constantly harass (with or without provocation) are also people. We are all people. What a retarded take.
Why can't your boyfriend support you, anyway?

But I bet Alyssa took the waitress gig because it's easy to quit. It's income until she can find something better.
We don't even know what her actual job is, I just assumed waitress. I'm so nice I didn't even assume she was actually a McWagie. Either is hilarious, because you know she looks down on those type of honest work.

I've been ducked out of the thread for a while because Alyssa is so disgusting to look at, but what wonderful news to come back to. From 'rising star' games journalist to waiting tables to make ends meet is karma in action.

I'm trying to figure out where she could have picked up a waitress gig with all those awful tattoos, guessing one of those hipster burger joints where food is served on anything but a plate.
 
Waitressing allows her to flirt and use her looks to get bigger tips
Her looks. Heh. Good one. I'm sure she can find men who think "a hole's a hole" but I expect her personality is so aggressively unpleasant in person she can't be getting very good tips.

Remember too that while "waitressing" is indeed a stepping stone career choice, it is sometimes the case that the "next step" involves saying things like "please ... just don't get it in my eye."

she is actually committing defamation per se by claiming Alyssa performed sexual acts for money
But Alyssa did perform sexual acts for money. She's bragged about doing sex work. Truth is not defamation. Or rather, truth is an affirmative defense against accusations of defamation.

Really its not hard to get a waitress job SOMEWHERE. If she loses THAT job, that should be a real concern.

Also "emotional terrorist" is my new favorite term.

She'll probably get fired after getting in multiple screaming matches with customers, or she'll attempt to use literal receipts to dox diners whom she hallucinates are undercover chuds there to mock her.

There difference is that when Jeff Tarzia said it, he had a good faith reason to believe it, using an interpretation of her own statements. He can use those statements to defend himself, and say "look, she said all those things and a reasonable person can come to that conclusion".

Selma cannot use the same statements, because at the time she inserted herself into this, Alyssa had corrected the record (regardless of what the actual truth is) and unless Selma can present actual evidence that Alyssa did accept payment for sexual services rendered, she just stepped into a pile of shit. She has no defense, she simply repeated a per se defamatory statement because she wanted to be cool and be part of the drama.

And to be fair, there is a pretty big logical leap from "I did cam work" to "hardcore prostitute". The lines blur because Alyssa herself blurred them with her claims that cam girl work is sex work, where sex work is normally reserved for actual physical prostitution. So it is entirely reasonable to get confused by her statements and interpret them in a certain what that results in "Alyssa was a prostitute". Alyssa corrected that with her C&D and filing the lawsuit, and repeating it now without new evidence is just asking to get sued as well.

[EDIT] If the basis for all those things was "I interpreted her Twitter posts that way" and Alyssa corrected the record on those with "they were jokes", then you have a pretty bad standing in court if you came in after those "corrections" were made and you just repeated them for no reason, while actively tagging her and using her images for thumbnails. Selma does not even try to produce anything with journalistic integrity, she is a titty streamer who got demonetized by Youtube because of the content she produced and is blaming Alyssa for it. Her behavior is not rational.

Bullshit. Saying "nuh-uh!" isn't adequate. Alyssa needs to actually win the case first. Finding of fact and all that.

This isn't true at all. The term 'sex work' doesn't just apply to prostitution but to all of the allied trades -- strippers, cam girls, porn stars, etc.

According to Wikipedia:

Types of sex work include various consensual sexual services or erotic performances, involving varying degrees of physical contact with clients:

Webcam modeling and pornographic modeling. The former is often done via a camming site, and the latter may or may not make use of an adult content-subscription service.
Stripper
Naked butler
Pole dancing
Phone sex operators: have sexually oriented conversations with clients, and may do verbal sexual roleplay
Prostitution
Street prostitution
Indoor prostitution (brothel work, massage parlor-related prostitution, bar or casino prostitution)
Erotic dancing
Erotic massage
Pornographic film acting
Peepshow performers
Escort services / Girlfriend experience / Sugar baby
Sexual surrogates: work with psychoanalysts to engage in sexual activity as part of therapy with their clients.
Dominatrix

Yes, and there is still a big logical leap from "cam girl" to prostitute sucking dick on the side for extra cash.
It does not help Jeff's case at all if he decided to take a term that could mean different things, and interpret it in the worst possible way, then publish the claim without a request for commentary to establish the truthfulness first. Jeff might have overplayed his hand, especially by responding to her further after the lawsuit was already filed.

Cam Girl = Legal
Prostitution = Illegal


Bullshit. Saying "nuh-uh!" isn't adequate. Alyssa needs to actually win the case first. Finding of fact and all that.
It very much is. Alyssa sent a C&D about those claims, and filed a lawsuit, contesting them as false.
Republishing them, after being told "this is wrong", is completely retarded. Even Jeff isn't trying to claim "she did work as a prostitute and took money for physical sexual services", his defense is "she said these things, so I had a good faith reason to believe my statements to be true".

Jeff had a reason, Selma did not.
If Selma were slapped with the same lawsuit, she would get obliterated because she would have to provide evidence to support her claim.
"I think she is lying about it" is not a legal defense unless you can call witnesses or can present evidence to support your belief.


[EDIT] I am looking at this entire thing with a little different perspective ever since the shafting Karl Jobst received. I still do not believe Alyssa has a good case, but until we see the motion to dismiss it is hard to say if they have solid arguments to counter her claims and/or justify some statements (with a proper timeline of events that is not massively skewed by Alyssa to exclude things that look bad for her). Where she will get nowhere with are her claims about losing her job being caused by him or his responsibility for other people's comments. She has not presented any evidence that support the claim that he caused either.

I thought legal complaints were supposed to be just FACTS. The complaint and appendix read like a 14 year olds FEELINGS. Are feelings admissible in a court of law? Did Alyssa write this herself?
A very Greer approach to litigation.
'Did the defendant actually violate any laws, Miss Mercunt?'
'Yes! He said I was a whore! I NEVER charged (because who would pay?). He said stalking his wife was a violation, but CHUDs have no rights to violate! And worst of all he called attention to my actions!'

I would personally like to see her evidence to support the factual claim that SmashJT caused her losing her job at Kotaku and organized the harassment. Because so far all I see is a lot of "man mean, QQ".
There is a lot of garbage in that lawsuit and she would have a much better chance if she would trim down the idiocy and just go with what has a slight chance of success.

There is a non zero percent chance that leadership at G/O media will testify about this depending how long the lulsuit drags on that'll likely be grade A content for us and her various alogs

One of the defining characteristics of lolsuits is that these feral animals, with or without counsel (frequently without because broke bitch pro se in forma pampers retard) will take the time to write a manifesto about how their feelings were raped when the court only wants to know: what happened, who did it, when did it happen and who witnessed it.
These people can't help but turn it into their angstjournal.
 
The judge should just strike this shit in it's entirety and order Alyssa's lawyer to produce something concise and to the point or fuck off. Pro se litigants might get some lenience for long ramblling retard manifestos, but Alyssa will receive no such leniency. Her lawyer ought to know better.

You don't understand, this is all GamerGate, and Jeff Tarzia has to suffer as a representative of the "Gamers".
