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

I'm still a little mystified about Exhibit 18 (page 233 of the motion) which is apparently some letter (not even an affidavit) that offers a character assessment of Vic. However, it's entirely positive and claims that no bad or inappropriate behavior was ever witnessed on the part of Vic.

That particular exhibit is never cited in part of their argument, but I'm wondering why the fuck it's even included at all.

I went back through the affidavits to find how many of them were first-person accounts of harassment by Vic - so not counting accounts of "I heard about/saw Vic bothering someone else." I found three. So much for the hundreds of women.

AFFIDAVITS WITH FIRST-PERSON HARASSMENT CLAIMS
----------------------------------------------

293    Affidavit of Blankenship-McConnell

While a sophomore in high school and in a school play, Vic-senpai noticed me.
In summer of 1989, unvited me to his house to see Christian video but instead
tried to seduce me. After many rejections he became hostile. I left. I felt
scared when seeing him afterwards.

297    Affidavit of Kara Edwards

At Animazement in 2008, we had separate hotel rooms with a communal door
5 them. One night Vic gave me a long hug, then we went to separate rooms.
Vic knocked on door and called me; "nobody has to know." I went into bathroom,
literally shaking. At ShadoCon 2010, he invited me to his room to catch up.
He petted me and whispered in my ear and would not let me leave (No mention of
if/how she left this situation.) Another night he asked to come inside my room.
I rejected him. He lied about incident in the i09 article.

345    Affidavit of Kelly Loftus

At Kawaii Kon in 2014, I got something autographed by Vic for a friend. We
also took a photo together during which Vic was very handsy. We took another
photo during wich Vick gave me an unwanted kiss on the cheek.

Both the affidavits of Neysha Perry and Emmett Plant claim Vic did the hair-pull-whisper thing to a Star Trek cosplayer at a con in 2013, but there is no account from the cosplayer herself.
 
Crossing posting this from another thread,

I noticed some discrepancies in the affidavits for Tekko,

The TCPA motion states that Vic stalked Mari Iijima at Tekko in 2007 and that he was caught with three underage females in his hotel room. It cites the affidavits by Lynn Hunt, John Prager and Whitney Falba.

849547


John Prager, Head of Security for Tekko from 2004-2011 says that Vic stalked Mari Iijim in 2010. He says that after the Mari Iijim stalking incident, Vic was blacklisted and banned from Tekko until 2015. Vic and Mari Iijima were at Tekko in 2007 and 2010, so if what he says is true, it must have occurred in 2010. Despite being the head of security, he doesn't mention anything about Vic going missing and being caught with three underage females in his hotel room.

849548

849549


Lynn Hunt says that Vic stalked Mari Iijim in 2007 and names John Prager and Jim Gogal as witnesses. She says that she was part of the staff that attempted to locate Vic when he went missing and that he was found in his hotel room with an underage female by themselves.

849551

849552


Whitney Falba does not mention the stalking. She does say that she, "heard on my radio another staff member state that he located Mignogna and the three underage, teenage girls in Mignogna's hotel room alone with him."

So basically, all three of these affidavits contradict each other and should possibly be struck from the TCPA?
 
Whoever said footnotes can be more interesting than the actual motion was spot on. This thing is incredible.
 
No judge is going to make his law clerks sift through 600 pages of bullshit. After 20 pages that's exactly what it is: bullshit.
 
BHBH, on the other hand, do need to sift through it, in case it references stuff which it's already been demonstrated could not have occurred.

I'd offer my services to BHBH for this task (free of charge...well actually, I want some Wendy's) since I need a reason to take my Sertraline.

I wonder if BHBH reached out to Mari Iijima to get an affidavit from her. It wouldn't turn out to be the first time in any of this that someone gets name dropped and has no idea what the other idiots are talking about.

I don't recall anyone ever posting any statement from her about any of these allegations so I would not in any way be surprised to find out that they're complete bullshit.
 
Sure, she deserves to be pissed at him. Doesn't mean she has to join forces with people who want to stomp his dead, cold body into the dirt and then piss on it. Her affidavit has nothing to do with the case, anyway. Yes, he was a jerk and cheated. How does this prove that he assault all of these women?

I think she has a right to be pissed at Vic, but she doesn't have the right to destroy his life over it. I also think they know her affidavit proves nothing. They only want to really fucking hurt him and she's in on it.
Yeah my sympathy for Specht dried up when she sided with people trying to destroy him.

And I know I'm putting on a tinhat here, but that email from her included is from March, long after she was in kickvic's camp and long after it was publicly known Vic was hiring lawyers. Frankly it reads like it was intended for an audience other than Vic what with all the sordid details, so I'm suspicious she wrote it with the intention of it being included as evidence against him.
 
BHBH, on the other hand, do need to sift through it, in case it references stuff which it's already been demonstrated could not have occurred.
3 lawyers and most likely a few paralegals time. That is not including drafting a response either. I can see IF any body is getting paid by court order it is going to be a big check. You have probably a easily argued hundreds of hours of billable time for both sides.

I'd love to know the combined pre-trial costs of this to date.

Considering Leonard French billed around 20,000 dollars for the Alex Mauer lolsuit in about the same time frame I would assume Vics expenses in all this with having to deal with being deposed, voluminous pre trial discovery and so on, plus two other attorneys of record? I would say he's burned through about 60,000 dollars so far easy.

I may be missing something, but I don't see anything in that TOC where they establish Vic as a public figure... Did they manage to get through 530 pages without supporting that assertion in any way?

edit: Rackets seems to have a lot more dismissed/conditions met/stayed than convicted in his criminal suits history. Is that supposed to be embarrassing for him?

Meh. She could--and probably should--have left him at any point. There's no need to feel sorry for anyone who maintains a relationship with someone they know is cheating on the regular. You might just as well consider her an enabler of Vic's less-than-praiseworthy behavior.
