Gossip Vlogger ‘119’, faces a defamation lawsuit over comments about Patrice Hussey Malcolm. She is the widow of the late broadcaster Dervan Malcolm.
According to the Jamaica Observer, lawyers representing the widow of the late broadcaster Dervan Malcolm have threatened to take legal action against blogger Milton Wray, known as “119.” This action is due to allegedly false and defamatory comments ‘119’ made about her on social media. In particular, the comments concern her husband’s passing.
The legal team representing Patrice Hussey Malcolm claims that remarks published on platforms such as TikTok and YouTube have caused significant distress. Furthermore, they say the remarks have caused embarrassment, humiliation, and damage to their client’s reputation.
Senior counsel Anthony Williams, managing partner of USIM, Williams and Company Attorneys-At-Law, wrote in a letter to ‘119’. Observer Online claimed the letter was shared with them:
“Your statements were not merely criticism or commentary. They amounted to a sustained and deliberate campaign of public vilification, harassment, intimidation, bullying, and degradation directed at our client.”
Further, Williams asserted that, “The claims are a complete fabrication and propaganda by the vlogger.”
To avoid legal proceedings, the law firm demanded that 119 immediately stop “publishing, republishing, repeating, or communicating” the allegations against Patrice Hussey Malcolm. They also requested the immediate removal of the offending videos from TikTok, YouTube, and other social media platforms.
Additionally, the law firm required 119 to provide both a written and verbal apology to Patrice Hussey Malcolm. Plus, he must negotiate compensation for the alleged defamation and cover her legal costs.
