Chapter 65
Marshall said, “Based on the current evidence, for reputation dispute, we’ll definitely win the lawsuit. For defamation, I’ll still need to collect more evidence.”
“Isn’t it easier to win a defamation lawsuit?”
“No. It’s stricter to sue someone for defamation. I’ll have to work more on the evidence. Only then can I win the case the first time.”
Stella was curious. “What more do you have to do?”
Marshall smiled. “This is the job of a lawyer. What you need to consider is what kind of punishment you want them to get. Do you want them to just compensate you and apologize to you? Or, do you want to send a message and deal with the root cause?”
Stella was silent.
She was troubled by these malicious comments and intentional shaming for nearly a year. At the height of the problem, even her phone number was leaked. Those people directly called her or sent her messages to abuse her.
During that period of time, she did not even dare to log into Facebook. She knew clearly that there were still many fans who liked and supported her. But, she could not ignore the mean comments whenever she saw them. Those vicious curses and insults ran wild in her mind endlessly in the dead of night. Once someone was trapped in that kind of whirlpool, he or she would instinctively doubt themselves.
She was considered lucky. Felicity noticed it in time when she was depressed at that time. She brought her to psychological counseling several times. Only then she slowly got better.
People who were cyberbullied might go through ordeals. But, those who cyberbullied just wantonly typed on a keyboard across the screen. They even acted like good people or vigilantes in real life and lived comfortably.
