Afroman vs Adam's County Sheriffs lawsuit verdict prediction thread
Poast new message in this thread
Date: March 18th, 2026 5:24 PM Author: Cerebral Splenetic Stain Afroman is going down imo. He made personal attacks online calling a deputy woman a cunt and saying she had a deep voice and a penis. It's also in a blood red Trump county that's mostly whites. He cooked. No justice for the lemon poundcake.

Date: March 18th, 2026 5:36 PM Author: Cerebral Splenetic Stain If he kept it all above board as a high concept joke I think he would have skated by. He made a music video where an actress dressed up like one of the sheriffs and performed graphic oral sex on another woman inter spliced with real footage of her, using her real name and calling her a lesbian. This is just insane targeted personal harassment. You can't do a mass harassment campaign against an individual, even if they serve the public, just because you are mad they served a warrant on false pretenses.
That being said Afroman was unfairly targeted and deserves justice as well. The cops in his district really are corrupt shitheads, but you still can't go to great lengths to publicly slander them as individuals. |

Date: March 18th, 2026 5:33 PM Author: provocative dysfunction i think afroman probably wins. maybe the guy he called a pedophile and lick em low lisa might get nominal damages but no way on the others. case probably should have been thrown out and he should win on appeal, but this judge hates him.

Date: March 18th, 2026 5:37 PM Author: Cerebral Splenetic Stain The cops are scumbags and it's obviously an incredibly corrupt county and jurisdiction. That being said you can't just slander and smear people publicly because you don't like them. They've fulfilled all the burdens of a defamation tort.

Date: March 18th, 2026 5:43 PM Author: Histrionic Hateful Theater Ape its a pretty good case for the plaintiffs legally. although i don't see what the damages are. i also think afroman is far more sympathetic to juries even in ohio are country.
i think you're right about plaintiff victory with nominal damages or an afroman win. but if they do give plaintiffs a big award its gonna be difficult to appeal the merits. |
|
Date: March 18th, 2026 5:51 PM Author: provocative dysfunction Kind of similar to Kendrick calling drake a pedophile in a song, that got thrown out. Also musk calling that cave diver a pedo. It's just jokes.
The guy he called a baldmo who likes pound cake has no case, nor do I think generally calling the cops "thieves" could be considered defamatory |
|
Date: March 18th, 2026 5:59 PM Author: Histrionic Hateful Theater Ape drake is a public figure plus theres gotta be some assumption of the risk element to becoming a rapper knowing beefs are a part of it.
elon, iirc, didn't positively assert the guy was a pedo and walked it back quickly. afroman did, repeatedly, for years, for profit, and stood by it.
obviously im on afromans side and ljl these pigs are trying to bilk him for a payday for obvious jokes. but if this was a bar exam question i think tcr would be plaintiff victory. |

Date: March 18th, 2026 6:01 PM Author: provocative dysfunction I think the cops are public figures here too so the standard is actual malice here as well (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5847246&forum_id=2\u0026mark_id=5310916#49754182) |
|
Date: March 18th, 2026 6:06 PM Author: Histrionic Hateful Theater Ape i dont think they're considered public figured but i bet there's a lot of scholarship on defaming police doing their job. seems like something that comes up a lot.
im interested in reading the jury instructions once the case is over. |
|
Date: March 18th, 2026 6:07 PM Author: provocative dysfunction The defense lawyer in his closing hit on them being public figures a bunch of times, it's a key part of his defense
A brief Google search seems to confirm this is the case in Ohio |
|
Date: March 18th, 2026 6:12 PM Author: Cerebral Splenetic Stain I think you can say the department is corrupt, you can say the chief of police runs a terrible organization, you can call out the judge who signed the warrant. You can't publish a video to an audience of a million subscribers with an actress using her exact likeness eating out another woman graphically targeting a low level deputy by name. Big difference.

Date: March 18th, 2026 6:22 PM Author: Histrionic Hateful Theater Ape huh. interesting that whether a police officer conducting a search is a public figure is even a factual matter for the jury to consider then. maybe their purported misconduct is a factor? now i wanna find the briefs too.

Date: March 18th, 2026 6:24 PM Author: Cerebral Splenetic Stain I have no issue with him mocking the raid, using the footage in a music video, making jokes about the department. But the targeted, malicious personal attacks were unnecessary. He didn't need to call out individual officers by name and defame them publicly, which I believe he did, in addition to his stunts which I also believe are covered by free speech. It's a matter of degree. He went too far in some cases. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5847246&forum_id=2\u0026mark_id=5310916#49754230) |
|
Date: March 18th, 2026 6:28 PM Author: provocative dysfunction I think the public figure thing is established as a matter of law. I am saying his defense was " these are public figures, they should expect harsh criticism and parody".

|
Date: March 18th, 2026 6:11 PM Author: Cerebral Splenetic Stain I think actual malice was met here. Some of his Facebook rants targeting individual sheriffs were truly deranged and obviously harmful. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5847246&forum_id=2\u0026mark_id=5310916#49754212) |

Date: March 18th, 2026 6:10 PM Author: Cerebral Splenetic Stain This is cr. These cops are deeply crooked and Afroman is very sympathetic. That being said you can't defame private citizens even if they're sheriff's deputies. Lick Em Low Lisa will get some of the 1.5 million. I think most of the others should get tossed. Lisa had nothing to do with establishing the warrant, she was just some random cop who was called onto the case to serve it at the last minute. You can't make music videos with millions of views calling her a dyke or a man with a penis using her real name. Afroman should have just gone after the department writ large and the judge who signed it. No one would sympathize with that. But this got too personal.

Date: March 18th, 2026 6:14 PM Author: provocative dysfunction She has the best case but I dunno about it holding up on appeal. Parody of public figures is pretty strongly protected.

Date: March 18th, 2026 6:18 PM Author: provocative dysfunction No i don't, but if the case law says they are a public official it creates a much higher standard to meet (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5847246&forum_id=2\u0026mark_id=5310916#49754218) |
|
Date: March 18th, 2026 6:21 PM Author: Cerebral Splenetic Stain You don't think Afroman harassing her on Facebook calling her a dyke, making fun of her deep voice, making fun of her looks, saying she has a penis is covered by being a public official? She's just a big famous person like Falwell you can draw lewd depictions of? Seems like the targeted harassment was personal and malicious. His defense is essentially they kicked in my door and didn't pay for it so I can say absolutely anything I want to. But I think they proved actual malice imo. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5847246&forum_id=2\u0026mark_id=5310916#49754225) |
|
Date: March 18th, 2026 6:23 PM Author: provocative dysfunction The question is whether a reasonable person would think it was parody. On the Falwell precedent, I believe they would. "Actual malice" is a term of art, it doesn't really mean whether he did it maliciously (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5847246&forum_id=2\u0026mark_id=5310916#49754229) |
|
Date: March 18th, 2026 6:25 PM Author: Cerebral Splenetic Stain I felt it was all parody until I read his Facebook post about Lisa. I thought it was malicious and defamatory. And totally unnecessary to his criticism of the department and the institutions. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5847246&forum_id=2\u0026mark_id=5310916#49754231) |
