| Court has dismissed all 17 of Mignogna's claims Judge John P. Chupp dismissed all of voice actor Vic Mignogna's case against voice actress Monica Rial, Rial's fiance Ron Toye, and Funimation in Tarrant County District Court on Friday. The court dismissed Mignogna's five remaining claims against the defendants, for a total of 17 dismissed claims between Friday's ruling and a ruling on September 6. Mignogna's remaining case had alleged that Rial and Toye engaged in defamation and civil conspiracy against the Fullmetal Alchemist voice actor and that anime licensing company Funimation defamed him. https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2019-10-04/vic-mignogna-civil-case-against-funimation-voice-actress-monica-rial-ron-toye-dismissed/.151881 its finally over lol the VICtims and conVICs have lost as the meme says |
| It's not a win for anyone, everyone loses especially with Funimation in the process of being cleaned up by Sony, then you still have Toei that has yet to make a decision about the Dragon Ball license and even then that's if no appeal happens. If you want to go deeper, most of the western side of the anime industry that isn't Netflix or Youtube (YT is getting into anime) is in deep shit. |
 |
| I don't check ANN much, but damn did these people have no faith in the dude. Wonder what'll happen now. |
| I can't say I'm too surprised... Although we should remember this was only the case of Vic crying defamation. The main beef is still the case against him for improper sexual conduct, but it isn't looking good for him. |
| I wonder what the crying faboys who say "but, b-b-b-but Vic is innocent" will say now. Hopefully the creep gets banged up soon. His career is dead now as no one will work with him. |

But would you like to elaborate about the western side being in trouble? All I know is That Warner media is cleaning house, which will affect CR but that is all I know. |
| I believe he can still appeal if he wants to. Even if it ends here, at least all the evidence is out there for people to come to their own conclusions on. I don't really care for dubs, so i wasn't on anyone's side when i heard about this, but wow, there's some awful people involved in this case. |
| I am not sure, his case wasn't just lost, it was destroyed. |

Lol thinking banged up means getting beat up. |
|
It totally does.. |
| Women ruining a man's life and getting away with it nothing knew in this clown world. |
 |
| I think this a cultural difference on what banged up means--like fag--just making an observation.. |

| It's hilarious how smug the KV losers are even though they're still in the wrong. xD |
 |
| So ISWV is still trying to pretends they're in the right side and Vic is innocent? Not surprising whatever. Their delusional level is insane. |

| Did Monica actually do anything beyond a few tweets about the topic? |
| So is the whole debacle turning people off from these VAs? I kinda stopped watching anime, but I still play DBFZ with the English voices. |

| j'accuse j'accuse j'accuse Yep. You can make up any type of bullshit about someone and tarnish their reputation with zero consequences.. |

deg said: whats the point of this defamation case that started by Vic then? isnt it to prove his innocence? It would be if it was a criminal case. Since this is civil it was about getting his reputation back. He fought hard for it and lost but didn't lose entirely since he still gets invited to cons. We don't know if Viz fired him too yet. IEatAnimeAss said: Did Monica actually do anything beyond a few tweets about the topic? She interfered with Vic's Kamehacon contract and also tried to threaten people on Twitter with Homeland Security which doesn't deal with anything other than actual terrorist threats. |

The court found no evidence it was made up, the only consequences are for this creep who will probably never work again. Hopefully a criminal case starts up soon. |

They're not going to have a criminal case because they know there wouldn't be any evidence to convict him. |
| All it did was reinforce my original opinion that Mignogna is a total douchebag. |

| So is there going to be another case or how long till he gets an appeal heard? |

Drunk_Samurai said: ok, not so bad, this is more like a to be continued ending of dbz. Well, we can only see how this progresses. Was any of the case a labor dispute outside of the defamation and work environment? I didn't follow the case closely and most articles I'm finding, leave out alot of those kind of details. Not sure if labor could be challenged but atleast a new lawyer has that opening if it wasn't used in this case.Silverstorm said: So is there going to be another case or how long till he gets an appeal heard?

| @Drunk_Samurai I meant if he made a new case outside this one |
| "In the end the World really doesn't need a Superman. Just a Brave one" |
I don't think he can. |
| Damn, that does suck--would have made for a interesting round 2--or 3? |

Hei_in_FL said: It would appear that the fees awarded by the court are minimal - meaning that the defendants are stuck paying for the bulk of their defense. Of course Vic plans on appealing his case. The judge has pretty much stated that he expects an appeal. I personally find most of the accusations against Mignogna to be questionable at best. They majority have been anonymous. The main defendants allegedly said that Mignogna would go to jail for his crimes and that there were over 100 women willing to testify. Of course, these 100+ women and their stories seem to have evaporated into thin air as well as the criminal charges that were supposed to be forthcoming. The whole case stinks. I hope Mignogna prevails in his lawsuit. you should have made a dedicated thread for the fees, i saw a news about it too but im too lazy to make a thread for it so do it instead |
