"A jury has awarded more than $1.1m to an Idaho drag performer who accused a far-right blogger of defaming him when she falsely claimed that he exposed himself to a crowd, including children, during a Pride event in June 2022.

The Kootenai county district court jury unanimously found that Summer Bushnell defamed Eric Posey, a resident of Post Falls, Idaho, when she posted a doctored video of his performance that included a blurred spot that she claimed covered his “fully exposed genitals”, the Coeur D’Alene Press reported.

In reality the unedited video showed no indecent exposure, and prosecutors declined to file charges.

“The judicial system did what needed to be done,” Posey said after the verdict on Friday."

I wonder about the level of her joie de vivre...

I wonder about her level of intelligence.

"You don't need to be bright to be right!"

      --****** *****, Defamer

Wow. What a nasty piece of baggage she is. She doctored the vid, lied, admits she lied. Plus, he isn't white and delightsome so... Sounds like she was mad and made it up because a bunch of "white nationalists" got themselves arrested. She thought that she had covered her ass claiming to be a journalist. Uh, yeah, no. Just another Facebook Karen. The jury wanted to make her take down the doctored vid but the judge said no. I don't really get that.

The man deserves every single cent.

hopefully (do those people learn?) this will serve as an example / warning to others, sorta like what happened to the Aryan Nations.

Plus, he's Black? In Northern Idaho? That woman's hateful garbage could have gotten him killed up there. I hope she loses everything. Is she LDS? Seems about right.

Who else is ready to make a trip to Idaho to pick up a cool $ 1 Mill?


I Am!

Yes, + have someone present false photos of you publicly exposing your goods; FIRST, make sure they have the funds to pay the judgement...
