If this does actually go to court, this will be an absolute disaster for her. Even if the financials are not disclosed (which they may not be due to confidentiality), the defendants will be able to present reams of evidence - from the public domain - showing how sheās made her living over the years. All the TV gigs, sponsorships, Patreon etc. They can draw attention to the PayPal and tip jar, the Kickstarter, they can explain how influencers make their money (ads, affiliate links, monetised videos etc) - which would be interesting as I donāt think thatās widely understood by the public. And then they can say to the judge - wasnāt it therefore reasonable for my client to deduce that Jack had been earning a fair wedge?
They can also make the case that Jack has been less than transparent about money (the Kickstarter again, yesterdayās PayPal link, the fundraiser to give books to food banks, the Teemill thing, the many times vulnerable people have given her money). All of this is documented - most of it here.
And they can also make the point that Jack has been a little lax with the truth here and there. Her rather fancy home, for example. The fact that she originally said she was middle class - the many other inconsistencies in her story.
This is all stuff that they can and will put before the court in order to argue their case. Whatever the outcome of the case (if it happens), Jackās reputation will not survive this.
I actually doubt that sheās had a response from her lawyer yet. Who knows if he will even take it on. If he does, IMO itās highly doubtful he will do it on a no-win no-fee basis because then he or his firm bears the cost of the fees if they lose. And they may well lose. This is a million miles away from the Hopkins case.
Personally, I donāt care that it is the slightly unsavoury Lozza & friends who are the ādefendantsā here. Letās face it, no one else would take her on, whatever their doubts. And I do rather like the fact that Lozza is completely unfazed by her bullying. She wonāt like that - bullying usually works for her. You can sense her fury and incomprehension that heās not backed down. I do believe he would have no qualms at all in letting this go to court. In fact I think he is relishing the prospect.
p.s. a little aside about her wrongly identifying Richard Burgon. A case of mistaken identity. Libel, some might say. Like in the Hopkins case. Jack is such a raging hypocrite.
