We suggest that your retraction include the statement, “It was wrong of me to suggest Alyssa Mercante has engaged in sexual contact for money. I let my rhetoric get away from me, and I did so hoping to inflame you, my audience. I apologize for spreading lies about Alyssa, and for doing so to manipulate you, my viewers.”

They're not even asking for a retraction. They are asking for ritual self-humiliation.

Michael D. Dunford, Ph.D.

It is a really bad Ph.D. in law who has to work as a two-bit lawyer sending threatening letters.

Will Mercante send herself a cease and desist letter for suggesting she did engage in sexual activities for money?

That dumbass will be served her own words as proof the comments were not defamatory but reasonable assumption / factual if this reach a trial.

That's an unrelated Ph.D. who also passed the Bar. A dedicated Ph.D. in law would be a Juris Doctorate or J.D.

Ah, thanks. That was very weird.

Things work differently in civil law countries. Here law is a degree like any other, rather than an add-on after some other degree, so you actually can get a Ph.D. in law.

Dunford, the nitwit with the PhD after his name actually has a PhD in Law according to his LinkedIn. He started his JD program in 2012 and then proceeded to spend the next 11 years getting a JD, two masters in law, and a PhD in law. Why? Well probably to avoid working, like most professional students.

He has an equally cringey twitter account and Twitch channel.

Wow, that is pure cringe. I'd represent myself before I'd hire an attorney with pronouns in his bio.

Spreading lies?

Was she a prostitute or not?
