Orland Park, IL. (ECWd) –
This is urgent and breaking news. The judge granted the motion to dismiss in its entirety.
.
All the counts asked to dismiss were granted, so her lawsuit is eviscerated. Responses are due on the remaining counts by June 15th.
.
Here are the counts that were dismissed today:
.
* The computer hacking counts (where she claimed Kevin’s SassyPlants page was computer hacking under federal Computer Hacking law). This dismissed the claim that they violated Facebook’s terms of service by making the fake SassyPlants facebook page using images of Bittman.
.
* The assault claim Bittman made against Kevin (tossed out as bogus) – did not meet the threshold as no verbal threats or menacing gestures were made.
.
* The defamation and false light claims she made against Kevin for SassyPlants (tossed out as ridiculous)
.
* Bittman’s claim of Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress (tossed out as ridiculous)
.
* Bittman’s claim for injunctive relief (tossed out because she had no right to ask for that as a count)
.
The judge wiped out all of this with prejudice, which means she cannot bring any of these claims again.
.
Defendants now have to file a response to her other remaining claims and hopefully defeat them as well.
.
.
The Only Remaining Counts
.
Count 3: violation of the Electronic Communication Privacy Act (for Bittman’s bogus claim that SassyPlants intercepted messages meant for Bittman, which it didn’t do)
Count 4: violation of the Copyright Act (for Sassy Plants, where Bittman has improperly claimed a copyright on a picture of herself in a Green Dress that she posted to the Internet)
Counts 5-6: defamation per se and false light (for the July 8 video of Bittman barreling towards Kevin in front of the Orland Park Civic Center, which Officer Jodi Schmidt said was disorderly conduct on 7/8/14)
Counts 8-9: defamation per se and false light (for the 5/18/2014 Fans of Megan Fox post mentioning false police complaints made by OPPL staff, the 6/12/2014 picture of Bittman with the champagne bottle, and Kleinman’s “gay hater” statement where he called Bittman out for homophobia that Kleinman believes Bittman has shown)
