Will one Chicago woman's Tweet cost her $50,000?: See below for Amanda's complaint. In May Amanda Bonnen twitted a complaint about Horizon on
her Twitter account. Horizon Group Mangement filed a lawsuit against Amanda for "maliciously and wrongfully published the false and defamatory Tweet on Twitter, thereby allowing the Tweet to be distributed throughout the world."
In May, the Chicago resident did what many of Twitter's millions of users do--she tweeted a complaint.
Today, Horizon Group Management filed a lawsuit against her, alleging that her statement damaged the company's business reputation.
According to the complaint filed in Cook County court today, Bonnen "maliciously and wrongfully published the false and defamatory Tweet on Twitter, thereby allowing the Tweet to be distributed throughout the world."

Well, if I were horizon, i would have contacted bonnen and apologized if there was mold. And if horizon had in fact been defamed at all by the tweet, They should have issued a statement through the press that was honest and saying that they will fix whatever problems with mold.
ReplyDeletePeople have the right to express their opinions about companies, public or not. Especially if it were true, which I believe it was. Why else would horizon get on the defensive so fast?
They are looking ever worse by the way they are handling all this. poor saps. Kiss my butt horizon.
