  • Alyssa Mercante has decided to escalate her personal vendetta against me by sending a cease and desist letter through her "lawyer". This letter accuses me of defamation and harassment, demanding a retraction and apology crafted in their own words. Yeah ok. That sounds super authentic...

    I’ve received a cease and desist from Alyssa Mercante’s lawyer. This has escalated into serious threats against my livelihood, my family, and my career. I take these threats very seriously, and as a result, I’ve hired the best lawyer I know, Ron Coleman, to represent me. While I didn’t start this battle seeking financial support, many of you have reached out, eager to help in this fight. I want to make it clear that I’m not doing this for money-I’m solely looking for assistance to cover the legal fees I’ve already incurred. I’ve paid Ron Coleman’s firm a $2,500 retainer, and I’m working with them to resolve this situation. If you feel inclined to contribute, I would sincerely appreciate any help in covering these legal costs. Thank you so much for your support, and as always-stay Smashing!

Have your lawyer send a polite "F U" response letter back. I am certain they will back down once they know you are willing and ready to take this to court. Give your lawyer a copy of the letter, evidence, and have them plan to counter sue if Alyssa takes this to court. Have everything prepared and ready to go on day 1 if it goes to court.

    That's probably the most unprofessional letter you can ever receive from a "lawyer".
    I'd make sure his practice is public. He needs to be disbarred.

    Nope, it’s her same playbook. No one talked about her for 2 or 3 weeks, so now she’s gotta pop right back up. Wipe your a$$ with the C&D. It means nothing.

    5 minutes into listening you read the letter, and it already sounds like he asked ChatGPT to write it.

      These people haven't seen the truth once in their lives. Any time anyone gets close to showing them the truth, they close their eyes, shove their fingers in their ears, and scream "I can't hear you, [buzzword]!"

    There is plenty of evidence to just even get this case dismissed. She has tweets that are well documented. She has the video of her inviting for people to fight her physically as she ends that sentence with the word 'bitch." She really doesn't have a case.

      Well whats worse for her is that it could quite easily land into a counter suit due to her harressment of his wife. She should resend the CnD before she gets hit with a restranning order and a heavy fine for mental distress.
