Good for the professor. As someone that has been the target of nasty rumors please make this stop
Freak of nature looking for attention. God, this crap gets old.
Think of those who loved these kids! No excuse for milking some cash off the heartbreak of others.
Crawl back under the proverbial rock.
I hope they sue all of those weirdos
This Tik Toker is a genuine unadulterated narcissist. Also using tarot cards is a act of the devil. She must be so proud of herself for spreading evil.
Call this girl is gonna get her self in trouble because she’s clearly not smart enough to realize that that’s actually going to cost her for real.
I consulted a OUIJA BOARD following the shooting deaths of my nephews. Police said it was drug related though they had no evidence of that. We were frustrated. The ouija board gave us a name. We knew the police would laugh at us if we went to them with the name, so we didn't.
Lol I have this director of a beauty school who always talked about putting in the universe what you want to take out. All that horoscopes stuff. She sued me and another student for exposing her scam of a school. Fast forward she is now paying attorney fee for her silly lawyer who thought she had a case along with our attorney fee. These people are cray cray.
Tarot Cards… Dear FBI, I have a suggestion…
2:07 "…amassing millions of views and likes…" Won't be surprised if this were their ostentatious motivation… the great lengths that this young generation would go to go viral is one helluva drug. Why wasn't TikTok also included in lawsuit for allowing some spread unfounded claims on their platform? Or did they fact check those claims?
Just goes to show the utter lack of intelligence of tiktok users
The simple answer is Ban her from using TICTOK and if she continues its Jail time ⏲️ for her its just that simple. 💯
Taking the professor by a landslide anybody who uses the TikTok platform is a moron
That stupid tik tok clown is getting what she deserves
She ruined her reputation with flat out lies. You’re probably right this girl may not have money to pay but clearing her name is just as important.
Social media has ruined this world.
You all know what to do enjoy creating now
She's an AKA? Her sorors better reign her in, especially now that she's being sued (and rightfully so).
The prof needs to prove damages and unless some miracle comes along, she likely won't. Plus, thinking this woman has any money to speak of is another issue entirely. I sincerely hope that I am WRONG on both counts.
Play stupid games. Win stupid prizes. These social media investigator wannabes are going to have a rude awakenings in the realm of defamation.
I hope the professorwins
Good for the Univ. of Idaho professor for suing the tarot teller 👍
China and Russia will unite against America leaving the democrats and republicans to unite starting ww3 then the 👽 invasion then the book of revelations… But we end up winning at the end… Ending in a world wide freedom detailed in my book giving to me by the spirit to wake up the world that's why my book is called The 7 Trumpets A Wave that changed the world. Coming from Archangel Michael ⚡🦸🏾 who is God Jesus Christ in flesh who will be labeled Satan the fallen star 🌟
How embarrassing for the tarot community.
Tarot cards. Murder solved by Tarot cards. Dear god, save us from the insanity. Sue her for every penny she's got, make an example. We are not living in the middle ages when people were burning cats as witches.
The professor should sue for millions,
You can go on the news and social media outlets to deliberately lie, spread misinformation, attempt to overthrow the government, try to get famous, grift, accuse people of being pedophiles and make any wild accusations you'd like in this country! Our leaders get away with it all the time, maybe everyone should do it. What's the difference between tarot cards and bibles?! Nothing!
The epitome of a fool and she's still talking!
Mental illness is a b.
