Victor Mignogna v. Funimation Productions, LLC, et al. (2019) - Vic's lawsuit against Funimation, VAs, and others, for over a million dollars.

Can someone remind me who the fuck this useless ho is, and why she's supposedly got some "inside scoop" on Vic's personal text messages?
She appears to be a deranged schizo of some sort. Maybe Vic stuck his dick in her, maybe he didn't. She is not remotely a reliable source, she is a crazy person.
 
A new filing

The interrogatories themselves (Exhibit A-1) explicitly list Martinez as the attorney of record for Vic.
Martinez was already on board before the case even went to its first appeal. Chances are Beard has withdrawn voluntarily. The crazy lady may have caught wind of that and spun her own story about it.

Correct. But when this thing started, the attorney of record for Vic was Beard.

He has now been replaced.

Whether the OF girl was telling the truth, telling the truth garbled through her retelling, or just making shit up based on rumors is kind of beside the point.
 
It's based on his previous behaviour and personality. He's the kind of person that would metaphorically fall on his sword like that.
Fair enough.

My read was the opposite - that he'd stick around to clean up the mess for as long as Vic was willing to keep him around - but I guess that's a reasonable conclusion as well.

Ultimately we won't know for sure unless someone more reliable than that woman says something.

He lost the case in a horrific and incredibly embarrassing way reeking of pure incompetence. Withdrawing and falling on his sword was really his only honorable move.

Ty fucked up but is a decent guy. Probably helps Vic's malpractice case if he wants to go down that route. Also I really wish they had taken the moon shot to the USSC on trying overturn the public figure doctrine. I think Justice Thomas would have loved this case.

There are better cases for that, especially since the public figure doctrine ultimately wasn't the deciding factor. Ty literally didn't submit crucial TCPA-defeating evidence.

Unfortunately, "decent" ain't worth shit here. What Vic needed was legal competence, and he didn't get it. It's not like the CoA is gonna be all like "Well Ty, since you're so decent, we're gonna just go ahead and overturn and remand back to Chupp."

That he appears to have withdrawn is a good thing, but it doesn't absolve him of his sorry ass performance throughout all this.

Probably helps Vic's malpractice case if he wants to go down that route.
There's likely not gonna be a malpractice case.

There probably should, but Vic doesn't seem like the type of guy to go there. I just think he wants to move on with his life, and I can't really blame him.
 
The sad part is that Ty's incompetence has emboldened KV even more.

That crazy bitch that's been discussed in Weeb Wars is one example.

Vic is going to die a harassed man
Every year that passes, as Vic slowly regains what he lost (not exactly what he lost, that chance was lost with the lawsuit, but the ability to work in the industry again and go to conventions without constant cancellations) the KV machine will slow down, die down more, and return back to what it was in 2018 - irrelevant fujos screeching in the wind and being ignored. Most of the hangers-on in kickvic were there for clout, and clout never stays in one place for long.

Right now the lion's share of his comeback hinges on AM studios getting traction. He hasn't really regained purchase in the industry in any meaningful way - the doors that closed to him in 2019 remain just as tightly shut if not even more so. AM certainly has incentive to prioritize their studio given how badly the convention scene is weathering currently economic conditions, but the fact that they had nothing to show off in time for the convention, which itself was a month later than normal, is not a great sign.

Too true.

The fact AM was able to dub that short film is a good sign, a step in the right direction, even if it's just a "proof of concept" thing to show that it's not just a total nothingburger but a legit effort.

But AM's studio is going to need a lot more than just an effort if they want it to actually be something substantial and Vic wants to regain something resembling a VA career again.
