Mercunty hasn't filed any lawsuit. She's only sent cease and desists through her lawyers, which are nothing more than threatening to sue. However, if she does file a lawsuit, which is highly unlikely, she would be required to prove her case in court. Three reasons why she won't file a lawsuit: 1) She won't be able to afford it. Lawsuits are very expensive. 2) The discovery phase will expose the dirty laundry she's been hiding. 3) Any sane judge will toss out the case based on her merit less claims.

Honestly I have far more respect for sex workers then journalists and especially games journalists. Atleast sex workers contribute to society in one shape or another. Modern "journalists" are just parasites and rumour mongers.
Shows you her character, when she openly admits to sleeping with someone with malicious intentions to write about them on her platform, because he said some off hand negative comment about Shakira. Plus she does this while trying to pursue legal action against SmashJT. She is actively kneecapping herself this entire time and is too arrogant to know it Thank goodness for it because it's entertaining seeing every trip. stumble and fall.
Exactly, she's fucking insane, anyone who would openly brag about that is a huge red flag and nothing she has to say should ever be trusted much less taken seriously on an intellectual level
Antagonizing kiwifarms is like kicking a hornet's nest, but all the hornets are schizophrenic and refuse to take their meds. I don't think this is going to work out for her.
I hope JT counter sues especially because Alyssa and her joke of a lawyer threatened HIS FAMILY!!! I hope the judge throws the book at those Kotaku clowns!!
I remember watching a interview on a former sex worker and she made it clear that SW is SW. She had only been a stripper with no extra services, she did not claim to be more or less of a SW based on what she did/ didn't do. Infact i think she was annoyed when the interviewer tried to draw a line about it not really being SW as she didn't have sex with people for money. If she made paid adult content she is a former SW, by many peoples standards.
I didnt even know about the "inflame" thing. Figured she was wanting him to apologize so he would "admit guilt" and she could sue him. The youtube thing is even worse.
I still think she’s upset no one has actually paid her for sex, despite all the adversing she does, I mean she would have told everyone about it by now.
If she said she was trans, she would get money. After seeing the thread on kiwifarms, she's more manly than womanly, and a man isn't going to pay for that unless he's a big leftist type
She one hundred percent is obsessed with him. Why else would she go through all of this? It's literally going to backfire more so than it already has. She can't be that stupid right?
The "Cease and Desist" seemed like it was written by her subreddit/discord/whatever and they just stole some random attorney's letterhead to make it look official.
Isn't the whole shtick of Alyssa's lawfirm basically compelled speech? Are there any laws that forbid such actions? (the Constitution wouldn't count because this isn't the American Government that's doing it)
As an attorney who has drafted cease and desist letters, the absolutely patronizing tone of this cease and desist letter makes me want to hurl. What a complete joke.
I thought these "workers" were so proud of themselves for delving into that line of work. They're so proud that they encourage other young women to destroy their future reputations.
I think the only time a cease and desist applies are cases like the TikTok psychic. Where they are going into media platforms to accuse someone of murder. Though she did do exactly what people expect with cease and desists letters. Only she found out what happens when someone actually means it and takes them to court. Overall it’s really sad what is happening to the professor though.
I'm no lawyer, but I can still tell that whoever wrote this has no proper right or qualifications to be an attorney. Their language was unprofessional, amateurish, and looked more like they would implode their client's legal case if it ever made it to a courtroom.
If the "lawyer" in question actually brings forth this suit, which is obviously malicious, founded on unreasonable nonsense, and clearly intended to abuse the judicial system for personal gain, can they be debarred?
The idea being the single million on death's door doesn't have someone to let inherit the wealth. So, instead of letting all that money go to waste, she's digging for gold and hoping to have enough money to bankrupt SmashJT in a legal forever war.
Dude you rock - looking forward to seeing you tonight on SNH!
@SmashJT and @LegalMindset, I have hopes that you guys will win this. Take that scumbag down
Your lawsuit is content for so many😮
you da man!
Take her all the way to court do not allow her to get out of appearing in court. She needs to get some real consequences for her actions.
Your lawyer is a G. The response was inspiring AF.

It can be if she keeps filing lawsuits

I wouldn't be surprised if she is still continuing to go after him.
Its strange how suddenly Alyssa is "suing" people just in time, the day after in fact, She restarted her Twitch channel. Hmmm how strange.
good point
Thanks for sticking up for Smash and analysing the situation. Good people need to stick together
