In a jaw-dropping legal showdown, Nikko D’Ambrosio, a 32-year-old Chicago resident, has thrown down the gauntlet by filing a staggering $75 million lawsuit against multiple women. The reason behind this colossal legal battle? A series of unflattering Facebook posts dubbing him “very clingy” and a “ghoster.”
D’Ambrosio’s journey into the courtroom began when his name and photograph were thrust into the spotlight on the “Are We Dating The Same Guy” Facebook page, a platform notorious for its tell-all dating escapades. This digital battleground, originating in the Big Apple, serves as a hub where women nationwide share tales of their love life debacles, hoping to uncover “red flags” in the dating world.
The tale takes a curious twist, with D’Ambrosio’s narrative stating that he initially crossed paths with the woman who triggered this maelstrom of controversy at an event in Chicago. A night of consensual intimacy followed this encounter, setting the stage for a chain of events that would eventually lead to a courtroom showdown.
While the pair did embark on a few nondescript dates, D’Ambrosio contends that their relationship never veered into exclusive territory. However, this minor detail did not deter his accuser from launching a relentless online campaign against him. The accusations ranged from D’Ambrosio being excessively clingy and overly eager to flaunting his wealth and business prowess during romantic rendezvous. To add fuel to the fire, she claimed that he frequently warned against witnessing his “bad side” during business calls.
One intriguing twist in this saga was the accuser’s decision to first share her post under her real identity, only to mysteriously erase it and repost it anonymously after D’Ambrosio’s legal team made contact. This action unleashed a deluge of comments from other women who claimed to have had eerily similar encounters or had witnessed prior posts warning of his supposed red flags.
In one particularly scathing comment, a woman declared, “I went out with him a few times just over a year ago — he told me what I wanted to hear until I slept with him and then he ghosted… I’d steer clear.” Another chimed in, “He’s been posted here before. The poster said he sent her a slew of texts calling her names because she didn’t want to spend the night with him.”
D’Ambrosio’s lawsuit, which targets 27 named women, including group moderators, and anonymous individuals, as well as various branches of Facebook’s parent company, Meta, seeks a whopping $75 million in damages. His accusations include defamation, doxxing, and an invasion of privacy.
In the lawsuit, D’Ambrosio’s legal team argues, “[Their] wrongful conduct is so outrageous in character and so extreme in degree that it is beyond all possible bounds of decency and is to be regarded as atrocious and utterly intolerable in a civilized community.” This bold legal maneuver has the potential to set a precedent in the ongoing struggle between the digital age’s power to amplify voices and the consequences of those voices gone rogue.
As this courtroom drama unfolds, it raises fundamental questions about the boundaries of online expression and the accountability of those who choose to wield their virtual megaphones. For now, all eyes remain glued to the unfolding saga of Nikko D’Ambrosio versus the women of Facebook’s “Are We Dating The Same Guy” page. The outcome of this battle could reshape the digital landscape and redefine the consequences for virtual character assassinations.
