@SkySportsPL Why are you not broadcasting Arsenal lifting the trophy??? This is crazy.

My daughter is 16 and about to witness the eighth Prime Minister being appointed to Number 10 in her lifetime. It's ridiculous – revolving door politics is making the UK a laughing stock and shows that we are now utterly ungovernable. #PMsinmylifetime

@annecater They should pay the £50 but without clear T&Cs it may be hard to enforce. Can I make a recommendation going forward? Make it a T&C that clients must pay half the fee upfront for the tour prep. If they cancel before it runs, they forfeit that half. It's standard and it covers you.

@kfixler She's so far posted 21 new videos on her pre-existing TikTok account complaining that the $10m judgement was unfair and two jurors were biased. She's also saying she was denied evidence by state officials that could have proved her case. Looks like an appeal is a given.

@TrueCrime_s @PhilipCDube The court judgement is that the TikToker must pay the professor $10M, so yes that's what she must pay. Whether she has the money is another question, but the rule is the debt cannot be discharged by bankruptcy, so the TikToker can't file for bankruptcy as a get-out.

I've followed this case from day one after my teen alerted me to the videos. Our defamation laws are much stricter than in US but this still sets a precedent that you cannot baselessly accuse someone online and expect no comeback. Imagine there's a lot of deleting going on today!

[Philip Dubé @PhilipCDube]

Boise, ID | A federal jury awarded $10M to University of Idaho history professor Rebecca Scofield in a defamation lawsuit against TikTok influencer Ashley Guillard. The tarot card reader from Texas repeatedly & falsely accused Scofield of orchestrating the Nov 13th, 2022 murders of the 4 University of Idaho students, Ethan Chapin, Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle, & Madison Mogen. Guillard kept posting dozens of videos on TikTok claiming that Professor Scofield was responsible for the killings & that she had an inappropriate relationship with one of the victims.
Professor Scofield, who was chair of the university's history department, had never met the students & was out of town when the murders occurred. In Dec 2022, Scofield sued for defamation after Guillard refused to stop posting the false viral videos. A federal jury deliberated for less than 2 hrs before awarding $10M in damages which includes $7.5 million in punitive damages & the remainder for emotional, physical & professional harm. In June 2024, U.S. Magistrate Judge Raymond Patricco ruled in favor of Scofield, determining the video statements were oppressive, fraudulent, malicious & outrageous.
Bryan Kohberger was later arrested for the murders & in June 2025, he pled guilty & received 4 life sentences. 
Guillard represented herself at trial, claiming her accusations were based on "intuition" rather than facts. FYI, under federal law, the award is nondischargeable in bankruptcy because of the malice finding. Guillard will be paying on it until paid in full. @LawCrimeNetwork @NancyGrace @CoffindafferFBI @CourtTV @nypost @nytimes @ABC @NewsNation @latimes @UIdaho @UIdahoLaw

@PhilipCDube She's been rightly slammed. I saw some of her early videos and her followers were begging her to stop but that just emboldened her and her accusations became more and more outlandish. Amazing that her psychic ability didn't foresee yesterday's outcome though…

BREAKING: A jury awarded $10M in damages to a University of #Idaho professor who sued a TX woman for defamation after she falsely claimed the teacher ordered the #Idaho4 murders. $7.5M of that is punitive damages in the unanimous verdict, w/ @NMBlanchard.

Update: Jury picked in #Idaho4 defamation trial brought by a University of #Idaho professor against a TikToker to decide damages. 4 men, 4 women of various backgrounds, and their verdict must be unanimous on $$$ owed to the professor. #BryanKohberger (1/2)

@kfixler @nlawson946 @MalCan4401 Interesting she said that in court, because she's still got an active account! Last posted on it three days ago – apparently coming through an airport. I've been following the lawsuit since day one from here in the UK.

Nothing against the author in the video, but this 🧵 is exactly why everything he said doesn't apply to 99.9% of new authors.

[Helen S Fields @Helen_Fields]

Writer? Newly published? Querying? Looking for an agent? Wanting to self-publish? Then this thread is for you. Yesterday a video came out featuring a well known celeb author, who advised new writers that they do not need to put an emphasis on social media, and that all they need to do is tour bookshop and do events to meet readers and get their books out their. I'm here because it's important to me, and lots of other established writers, that the information YOU rely on is going to help, not hurt you. 🧵
