W-L

Last year, The Dirty.com (who?) featured a post about Sarah Jones (who?), a cheerleader for the Cincinnati Bengals (who?). As you can tell by their name, they don't post baking recipies, so there should be little shock that one of thier posters had some less than flattering things to say about her. This was the post that started it all:

THE DIRTY ARMY: Nik, here we have Sarah J, captain cheerleader of the playoff bound cinci bengals.. Most ppl see Sarah has a gorgeous cheerleader AND highschool teacher.. yes she’s also a teacher.. but what most of you don’t know is.. Her ex Nate.. cheated on her with over 50 girls in 4 yrs.. in that time he tested positive for Chlamydia Infection and Gonorrhea.. so im sure Sarah also has both.. whats worse is he brags about doing sarah in the gym.. football field.. her class room at the school she teaches at DIXIE Heights.

That's not so nice, eh? Well, a court agreed, and awarded her $11 million in damages for the slander...but if they're to be believed The Last Angry Fan says Sarah's lawyer didn't sue the right company. Instead of suing Hooman “Nik Ritchie” Karamian and TheDirty.com, the lawsuit instead targeted TheDirt.com and Dirty World Entertainment Recordings (who?). Dirty World Entertainment, the Dublin, Georgia location for such underground rap artists as Trae Duice. At least, that's what a MySpace profile said, dated back to 2005. TheDirty.com actually belongs to Dirty World LLC.

District Judge William Bertelsman handed down the judgment after the Dirty World Entertainment Recordings failed to respond to the lawsuit filed in February. “This company was brazen,” Eric Deters - her attorney said. “They didn’t defend it. They didn’t come. They ignored it, what is part of the punitive damage award.” Yes, because they weren't the right company. That name again is Eric Deters, for all your legal needs.

He said he “absolutely has some hope” he will be able to collect on the judgment. One of the first steps will be to get the judgment certified in a federal court in Arizona. Deters said he was optimistic because the site is operated by a limited liability cooperation that “apparently is doing pretty well.” He said he will also attempt to expose the investors in the LLC during the collection process. Better make sure it's the right LLC, genius.
