Show notes

The mega viral on line feud between Kelly Dodd Leventhal, Rick Leventhal and Dr. Dhivya Srinivasa continues with clap backs, low blows, police reports (we have them in our possession!!) and, of course, threats of lawsuits. Seeing as this is not the first time Kelly Dodd has threatened a lawsuit against the good Doc, her on line haters (shout out Sarah From Texas) and last, but not least, this very Podcast, today the best attorney, our Litigation Attorney Chad Davenport returns to the pod - new series alert - to break down Kelly & Rick’s incorrect use of words like “defamation”, “cyberbullying”, “cyberstalking” and more. Class is in session! Chad also reveals our many potential causes of action, another Podcast which decided to put themselves in the middle of it all, the Bravo of it all, the Jeff Lewis of it all and last, but not least, what every Bravoleb, Influencer, Podcaster, “Reddit Rat” and everyday civilian can do - besides calling Chad - if you have also been a victim of on line abuse. This is only the beginning...
