Man sues 27 women for $75 million after they left negative Facebook reviews calling him 'clingy'

Man sues 27 women for $75 million after they left negative Facebook reviews calling him 'clingy'

Nikko D’Ambrosio claims he has been subjected to defamation, doxxing and invasion of privacy

A Chicago man is hitting back at numerous women who allegedly described him as 'clingy' by suing them for $75 million.

Nikko D’Ambrosio, 32, filed the lawsuit against a total of 27 women as well as one man after his name and photo were allegedly shared on private Facebook group called 'Are We Dating The Same Guy'.

The group describes itself as a place where women can protect each other from 'toxic men' through 'Red Flag Awareness', however, the lawsuit claims there are subgroups which allow users to attack the characters of men.

"Thousands of men have been potentially defamed by members of the group via these online publications, and remain entirely unaware of the attacks on their character as a result of the social media group’s private status and heavily moderated members list," the suit alleges.

D’Ambrosio personally claims to have been subjected to defamation, doxxing and invasion of privacy as the defendants shared stories about their experiences of dating him.

One woman allegedly posted on the Facebook group to claim that D'Ambrosio had become 'very cling very fast'.

She allegedly published a photo of D'Ambrosio, claimed he had flaunted his money and 'kept talking about how I don’t want to see his bad side, especially when he was on business calls'.

D'Ambrosio admitted in the filing to meeting the woman who shared the post, saying they met at a cultural event before engaging in consensual sex.

Afterwards, he described going on a few 'unremarkable' dates with the woman, but 'never engaged in an exclusive dating relationship' with her.

In response to the woman's posts, other women commented to say they had similar experiences with him.

"I went out with him a few times over a year ago – he told me what I wanted to hear until I split with him and then he ghosted… I'd steer clear," one person wrote.

D'Ambrosio accused the women of making false and defamatory statements about him, saying in the suit: "The defendants broadcast their outrageous, cruel, and malicious lies about the plaintiff with knowledge that the statements were false or with reckless disregard as whether or not they were true."

He also said the posts had led to 'personal humiliation, mental anguish and suffering, emotional distress, stress, anxiety, lost earnings'.

"[Their] wrongful conduct is so outrageous in character and so extreme in degree that it is beyond all possible bounds of decency and is to be regarded as atrocious and utterly intolerable in a civilized community," the lawsuit said.

D'Ambrosio is suing the defendants, which include Facebook parent Meta, for $75 million.

UNILAD has contacted Meta for comment.
