Drag queen awarded $1 million after right-wing blogger defamed her

A drag performer was jubilant on Friday after a court ordered a blogger to pay him over $1 million in damages for defamation.

Eric Posey, based in Post Falls, Idaho, performs as a drag queen named Mona Liza Million.

He launched legal action against blogger Summer Bushnell in September 2022. Bushnell, who posts far-right tirades online, falsely claimed Posey exposed himself to a crowd, including children, during a Pride event in June 2022.

Good. It's about time these right wing engagement farmers were pulled up on their crap.

That is one brave bitch being black in Idaho. It's a beautiful state for about 5 minutes. Then some rando while you're getting gas says something unbelievably racist and vile and the beauty becomes sinister

A wonderful victory, but will he ever be able to collect? And what about his attorney's fees and costs? (Shudder)

I’m sure she’ll invest it back into the black community and won’t blow it on designer shit and cars. I’m certain.

It's her winnings - she can do whatever she wants with it. She doesn't have to invest it in any community - the false article was about her.

R8 yeah, okay. Ytpipo can do whatever they want with their money too, including not paying for DEIreps.

Jesus r9. Move to Idaho. You can say this shit out loud and quit polluting the internet with your mental illness

R6 - Most people do not realize that they can hire a bill-collection agency to recover funds. Obviously, the agency collects a fee, but the likelihood of recovery increases by a bunch. There is also paperwork that can be filed at the bank the defendant goes to, and that can take a bite, too.

If you falsely claim that someone committed a criminal act (in this case, exposing genitalia), it’s slander, R9. The blogger spread a dangerous lie about this guy doing something that he did not do, and now she owes him damages. Not hard to understand unless you’re a total dipshit.

Good for him. That's not a harmless accusation. He deserves every dime and more.

R9 is a MAGAt troll. FF him.

That’s a nice little nest egg. Consider an index fund.

Grasping at straws is such a fun game! I see angry children playing it all the time.
