Who knew that "entrepeneur" meant "woman who fucks millionaires to corner them into investing in their hairbrained get rich quick schemes"?

If only regular guys in his situation had more power to do the same without needing lawyers to help.

Defamation is a rare, tough thing to prosecute. And that's how this case shows what female privilege looks like. Rather, female victim privilege. Professional victimism is a power grab.

The letter is an excellent example of what a good attorney can do. I will bet it was expensive to get that letter written, but most likely worth it. I have clipped it to my Evernote so that I can use the same format if I ever have to deal with a false accusation.

And by the way, this language in the attorney's letter is extremely important. If you are ever falsely accused, this is what you will need to prove in order to proceed with a civil trial:

"Each such statement purports to describe facts that, if accepted by a reader as true, injure Michael’s reputation so “as to lower him in the estimation of the community or to deter third persons from associating or dealing with him.” Right-Price Recreation, LLC v. Connells Prairie Community Council, 146 Wash. 2d 370, 382 (2002)."

The lawsuit he refers to represents the legal precedent set for legally actionable defamation. “as to lower him in the estimation of the community or to deter third persons from associating or dealing with him.” This is the standard definition of defamation. If a woman ever does this to you, get as much hard evidence of it as you can.

This happens all too often. When a woman does not want to end a relationship, she cries rape.

In this case she pulled the stunt on the wrong guy

I honestly believe that a lot of rape claims are sparked the encouragement of letting your emotions run free in American culture. This results in women saying just about anything. I feel bad for all the legitimate female rape victims out there, as their "sisters" are betraying them.

He is lucky she made such demonstrably false claims. Others have not been so lucky and with a system that is no longer giving the accused the presumption of innocence he could have been one of them. This sort of thing should be treated as a crime and the false accuser prosecuted.

Take note guys: If you're going to break up with someone, especially someone as mentally unhinged as she clearly is, record it record it record it.

The trend of having to save evidence to prove a negative (i.e. guilty until proven innocent) is fucking sad but I'm glad he publicly outed the liar with records that prove she is in fact a liar. You can bet your ass she won't see the inside of a jail or prison for this, either.

It sounds to me like this woman was methodical in a very premeditated manner. To me, that signals tht she deserves to be publicly humiliated, which, it is my belief is the only effective way to stop false accusations of rape. Get the evidence online and let it go viral. Our legal system isn't going to do anything to her.

2013-04-12T11:39:22+00:00

His lawyer fucking owned her, brutally. I hope they sue this "entrepreneur" into oblivion.

Hah, complete legal smackdown. I'm guessing that letter alone cost a cool few Gs though.

He's lucky that she made such idiotic claims, that were provably false. Many men have been struck down by claims that they couldn't prove otherwise.. And even if there wasn't enough evidence, any cry of "rape!" is a reputation damager.

I can't say I'm beyond such judgments though. I try not to, but I mean, if someone told me "your babysitter is a pedophile", I'd let him go, without any evidence at all, because I'm not willing to risk my daughter's well being on that.

So in that sense, I do understand why people are weary of anyone that is accused of a heinous crime.

There should just be MASSIVE penalties for lying about it. If you make a false rape accusation, and you are of an able mind, then you should serve at least 5 years in prison.

The former girlfriend made the accusations in a late-night Facebook post and a few blog comments on the media site Gawker.

Ridiculous that people would actually take this trash seriously.

Who thinks "I was raped, better update my facebook status!"

Damningly, the letter suggests that Ms. Allen once faked a pregnancy in order to try to get Arrington's attention.

There are no such thing as false allegations. She must have done that.

have a nice life and fuck you

She sounds like a catch.

The letter says that Allen "subsequently told Michael that [she] feigned the pregnancy and abortion in order to get him to communicate with [her]."

Sociopathic behavior.

We need to start seeing countersuits in these cases. Take her to the cleaners for defamation of character.

I get that she's unhappy about the breakup. Fine. Go bitch to your friends or bang some random guys. Even send some angry emails. Whatever.

Don't make accusations that he committed a felony knowing that your gender makes them at least somewhat believable (would we be hearing about a guy who posted a facebook status regarding abuse after a bad breakup? Of course not).

Sue her lying ass into debtor's prison!

Bohica69 · 2013-04-12T14:44:05+00:00

She's done. Stick a fork in her. He will shake and bake her while taking everything she owns. I applaud him.

blueoak9 · 2013-04-12T19:23:29+00:00

I hope she gets hung out on display as a warning to others. He is just the guy with just the lawyers to do it.

The stink of BPD is pretty strong in that list of her shenanigans. It amazes me how well these people latch onto and leech onto to unwitting hosts.
