A notable legal fight has seen its location shifted as a previous partner at Greenberg Traurig LLP moves the injunction petition against a social media influencer to a Florida state court. The case involves the former lawyer suing the influencer for $150 million over allegations of false accusations of abuse stated in online videos by the influencer. The petition seeks the removal of these videos.
The attorney in question, who has not been publicly identified, had previously sought action in a different court. However, the latest maneuver sees the injunction request moved from the federal jurisdiction it was originally filed under.
While the exact nature and content of the online videos haven’t been detailed, the hefty sum of the lawsuit clearly suggests the seriousness of the accusations levelled by the social media influencer. The lawyer’s move to have the content removed can be seen as an equally stern rebuttal of these allegations.
