Maybe there's something we don't know.

Because he's doing it himself.

He doesn't have a lawyer.

There you go.

Any lawyer with a brain doesn't take this case.

Well, Will Smith and Jada Smith, they have enough money to hire good lawyers to sue him for defamation and other things.

Unlike this guy who apparently could not find a lawyer to take his case.

Normally these things are taken on a contingency basis.

So any lawyer with a brain, for all the reasons Dave laid out, we just would not want to touch this with a 10-foot pole because there's not going to be any recovery.

Listen to what has to be proven.

And I actually had to go back and look this up to make sure I was remembering this from law school correctly.

But this intentional infliction of emotional distress –

requires that someone intended the emotional distress, and the defendant's actions must go beyond all bounds of decency tolerated by society, often described as shocking or egregious.

And then in addition to that, the defendant's alleged conduct must be the actual cause of the emotional distress, and it's got to be severe emotional distress, not just hurt feelings or anything like that.

You know, look, it's got to be serious and of a nature that no reasonable person could be possibly expected to endure it.

Now, so the things that have to be proven are a lot.

And, you know, you're going to have to have some really solid evidence, not to mention the fact that the claim is stale.

It's old.

But you've got to have really solid evidence.

And I'm sorry, but if you gained 100 pounds, it's going to be very difficult to try to pinpoint how that happened.
