So I live in the desert and a big thing that isn’t being discussed here is Def driving through and destroying wildlife. I know the desert looks very barren but I promise it’s not. There are many protected species of animals and plants that are endangered and protected, you can’t walk a few feet without seeing something living. You can get an ENORMOUS ticket for touching a native tortoise at burning man so imagine carelessly driving through an ecosystem for god knows how long? And another think I want to mention- between cactuses, rocks and most importantly washes it is INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS to drive through unmarked desert. Google a desert wash, they can be 4 or 5 foot drops out of nowhere and that’s only what I’ve personally experienced and seen in person, I’m sure there’s worse. We ride and drive horses out here and we have to be very careful even on marked trails to protect the ecosystem and ourselves. What he did was both catastrophically damaging to the environment but I can’t stress how dangerous it was.

[@pyromaniacalmagpie3198]

Thank you for bringing this up, I don't know anything about deserts really, I can only imagine how fragile they could be. Pretty much any kind of extreme environment is fragile as heck...

[@amyy_w5817]

I’ve never even been in a desert, so thank you for this really informative post. It was interesting, but also raised some considerations I haven’t seen discussed before :)

Very interesting aspect that I have also not seen brought up! Thank you for commenting

[@chrisblake4198]

The thing Def is glossing over is, the rental in her name is more than just the cost. She's legally liable for it, like if she lets someone WITH AN EXPIRED LICENSE take the wheel and go cross country in the open desert, then let him post a video documenting that happening!!! Yeesh. She'll be lucky if the rental co doesn't see all this.

[@AdriCr4ft]

Even the pizza… that was on the day before according to his post.. so she did starve at the festival. And then the lying about buying water when she got her own lol

[@marybean2231]

It's not only reckless, but I also believe that with the rental company, they don't care who's behind the wheel. If there's damage, they go after the name that's on paper. But I don't think you're allowed to get someone else to drive a car you rented. Esp with expired license.

I'm so, so disappointed in Def Noodles. I really did think he was going to turn it around but this is nuts. I'm just amazed at how horribly he's crashed

The reason why she was so concerned about putting her down for the card isn't because he wasn't going to repay her, but instead that by signing to rent the car, she takes all the responsibility for any damage to the car and it can negatively affect her and her credit.

[@thevictorianghost9516]

I think he spent his whole life surrounded by "yes people", and his ego simply can't handle basic criticism. SO weird. I watched him almost daily on my break at work between 2019-early 2021 when he started becoming more and more problematic. It was around the time he was making false accusations for content. I couldn't waste my precious 30 minutes of taco bell in my car listening to lies hahaha. He is absolutely spiraling trying to seek fame. He could have remained successful if he just stuck with his "news" reports (as long as they are legit).

[@brittneyc1428]

I never make KZbin comments but I had to reply to this because it’s so oddly specific I would also watch him every lunch break 30 mins of Taco Bell 😂 I miss it, it was great at the time. I wish it could have stayed that way.

[@libragirl4471]

Same. He was my lunch break listen. But when he dropped his “persona” he seems a little unhinged about and and kinda lost. I was excited about his podcast, I really had high hopes. But his lackluster cohost girl and his lack of interesting content. He’s not a good interviewer. He’s not a comedian. I think he’s trying to be Ethan Klein. He should have stuck with what he was good at.

[@smokey_the_bandit_girl2548]

I can't believe it was only months ago when he was doing ace family videos and that video about will Smith.... I watched him daily for years too now I'm very shocked, I can't support him anymore but I'm very worried

[@mooniec4162]

[@thickMilkk]

i feel like he mentally not all there. he has no self awareness.

[@ariannasantina]

what tiana did when she missed work is actually the COMPANY POLICY for where my brother works. if someone feels sick they are TOLD to leave work and get a covid test and arent ALLOWED back at the job-site until their test results come back clean for covid. its just responsible not to spread disease around and its also for the companies BENEFIT not to get other employees sick and end up with even MORE call-outs for sick-leave.

[@shyviolets]

Just because it's policy doesn't mean employers are happy about it. I was general manager of a restaurant and the owner was constantly trying to pressure me into getting employees to come in no matter what. Before COVID we were expected to work even if we were sick... but he'd never admit that if directly confronted. He'd conveniently "forget" things like how many days after a positive result someone would need to quarantine or act like he'd never said something. The sad thing is businesses can run with healthy employees or sick employees... businesses can't run when everyone needs to stay home. COVID was the final straw for me it was honestly disgusting we were serving food to families for gods sake...

[@dainironjaw5425]

Yeh getting sick should be a stay home. my boss told me it was up to me to find a replacement or go into work. I was a dishwasher for Swiss Chalet, she was the restaurant franchisee. I stayed home whenever I was sick, One I'm not getting other workers sick, Two I'm not possibly contaminating clean dishes or freshly cooked food because I'm in the atmosphere, she also wanted a sick note from the Doctor each time, and I'm like yeh not walking to hospital wait for hours to get a note saying I'm sick.

[@silvsevie]

The thing about the car is that she had to put to car on her card even if he paid her back immediately, that should have never been in her name in the first place that was not her responsibility, any damage would affect her record. How would she know she needed to have food and water and camping supplies when her boss told her "I have all the supplies"?

[@AnnaVictrix]

Totally agree. It’s not about the money, it’s about the anxiety he put his employee through unnecessarily.

[@ambersmith2612]

Your credit affects your WHOLE life and one bad thing is really really bad like??? I can't believe he doesn't see how an employee should not have to put anything on her own credit card. The fact that he didn't TELL HER BEFOREHAND when he knew his license was expired to?

I used to like him a lot too, but he can’t handle criticism and is clearly going wayyy downhill. I do hope he gets some help.

[@iNabber]

It's very very confusing

[@AdriaStaley]

California has a pretty strong anti-SLAPP (Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation) law. If he tries to sue her to silence her, a judge likely won't even consider it. He is a pretty large public figure, she is not nearly as much of a public figure as he is. She did not name him in her TikTok. Good luck in "activating" your lawyer, Dennis.

[@mardelima1982]

I don’t think she needs to mention name. If she’s talking about “boss” with whom she went to Vegas etc and we know who that is, it’s the same thing. Tbh she was shady. She made it sound like she had to pay for rental etc when actually she had to lend her credit card but the money was returned to her. She accused him of being unprepared but she went on an work project wearing shorts and not researching what she needs? She’s an employee not a 5 year old child. When I travel for work I research all about it I’m not waiting for my boss to remind me I need to carry water or my tooth brush so idk man

[@taylormitka6166]

I can get where both of you are coming from but def escalated the situation entirely with the lawyer ploy.. ( @mardelima1 ) if he brought those tips up I would have respected that more, but bringing in a ‘defamation’ case would be ineffective. you have to show beyond a reasonable doubt that you lost revenue from that statement and how it’s false which ultimately makes me agree ( @Adria Staley ) that it won’t go far..

[@AdriaStaley]

@@mardelima1982 Maybe implication is enough and doesn’t require an name being said, however I do agree that I would have researched things too. Though the main thing is HE didn’t seem to research or prepare at all. I don’t know what her specific job was but I think it’s not unreasonable to think that a persons employer would have planned much much better. As far as the car goes he didn’t even take care to make sure the car didn’t get damaged. If the car was in her name with the rental company (which I’m guessing it was if he wasn’t licensed) it could potentially flag her in the system for the future. Even if he did pay her for it, it is incredibly irresponsible. Though if a court does actually take the case and it gets to discovery, all of these details will be found out but until then it’s just kinda up in the air as to who has the more credible story.

[@susiethumb9898]

​@@mardelima1982 I agree it seems a little shady. I was bothered by her saying burning man doesn't sell water or any goods. They do. it's addressed very clearly on the BM website. Just like every other festival, especially in the desert, water is available. If she couldn't afford to buy a jug, she should have brought some. She's an adult and needs to be told that water is a necessity for the desert?

[@demontoaster5670]

Hot take: Def obviously has always had views that do NOT align with what he has posted in the beloved passed. This guy has been hiding everything about himself including his age- Which if there is anything I learned in my older childhood- If someone lies about their age they are unsafe. Flat out. Period.

[@CJAmara]

Agreed. People who lie about their age are dangerous and can very easily use that lie for dangerous things (not saying Dennis has done anything dangerous)

[@kiralonely]

I don't completely agree with the thing about lying about your age, per se, but I do agree the man's been hiding a lot about himself, and now we're just seeing it more broadly. (I used to lie about my age a lot when I was younger, and still avoid bringing it up unless asked or if it's relevant and I feel comfortable with it. I've had too many times where people dismiss me for being younger or started infantilizing me. When I was a minor, it makes sense, but didn't make it any less suffocating to experience. Hence, I don't completely agree that lying about one's age makes them unsafe, it just makes them a bit shady.)

[@TotoroK9]

Side note, the text where she says on sunday that shes leaving mon-fri.... she said "I forgot to remind you"... meaning she ALREADY TOLD HIM so HE SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER. She had no obligation to even remind him honestly. I get that Def is very carefree, but when you have EMPLOYEES you HAVE to be more organized.

[@talynhastime9343]

Honestly, probably. And the fact he has an audience just makes it worse

[@CBrown86]

He was like this before. Narcissistic people can keep a mask on until their ego gets a but too damaged. He has always been this way, guaranteed.

[@appalachiabrauchfrau]

Problem is that he doesn't have a vast enough vocabulary or understanding of wordplay/timing to pull comedy off. Some people are naturally funny because of their thought speed, speech pattern, natural word associations and mannerisms -- but his anecdotes are boring, samey and his sentence patterns + inflection could put you to sleep. It's like, art is much harder for people who have less than stellar visual spatial intelligence/awareness. He could be doing workshops without us knowing, but I'd expect more if that were the case. Seems to me like he just dove into it because his youtube following enabled this idea of himself as a funnyman.

This is what people who know this world are saying because the guy who talked him into it is a well known scammer among those who are in the whowbiz Vegas world. It is possible Dennis was scammed and this is what he suggested. Also he offered returning money for anyone who fell for it. Calling him a scammer is old fake news and click bait

[@jilliansmaniotto2326]

that seems to be likely what happened. def has presented himself as the perfect mark lately due to his insane overblown ego and impulsivity. it sounds like it took zero effort for TJLT to have def believing this was legit… and apparently TJLT has an extensive past scamming history. my gut says def wasn’t lying, but he was conned, for sure.

[@trala8911]

@Mardelima1 That’s sounding like it makes a lot of sense then. As others have said above, it’s such an easy thing to disprove too, although if Dennis was geotagged as not actually in the area, then that’s not a great sign. That said, much though I dislike Dennis and his actions, if he was tricked in this case, I do feel kind of bad for him. With everything that’s already happened, it feels kind of like kicking a dog while he’s down, and I don’t support scamming or bullying, regardless of how much of a tit your mark may be.

[@singorexpire8892]

@@dejuhvu1793 I think I understand what you’re saying. As for her not planning the trip or getting things together in order to make it happen: if he never asked her to do that then it would not be her job and obviously, he didn’t do that because he had already spent $4000. He didn’t even bother to Google what the event was . I’m also mystified how he can spend $4000 by renting a car and staying in a place that has no hotel or motel and no food. What on earth was he spending that money on? (Excuse me, I seem to have a bit of a cold. Sniff, sniff, oh, my nose! Snifffff. I’m suddenly I’m feeling better.) Just speculating. He also complained about her not “REMINDING” him about something. Well guess what? She is not responsible for his memory. He’s supposed to be a grown up and an employer she is not responsible for making him behave like one. Def is behaving like a nasty, petulant child. I applaud her for having to self-respect to leave that toxic man-child. I applaud her for being the adult in the room.

[@pretzelmaker3122]

I will say I don't think most of this situation is her fault at all, but for anyone else reading, who may find themselves on a work trip without their own vehicle and lodging plans, ALWAYS DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH. You should never take a trip without a residential/hotel destination without understanding the risks involved. You don't need to pack anything you think you don't need, but google is your friend. Take the essentials always, when there is room, and also never rent a car that someone without a license will be driving. You could end up in a lot of trouble, or just footing a bill.

[@ElementalWhispers]

This is really good advice, I always pack extra snacks/drinks for work trips because I've stayed places where they have one restaurant which had to close and there was NOTHING else around. Dinner from a vending machine is not fun when you're tired, stressed and starving.

While def definitely doesn't have a case for defamation, the fact she doesn't mention his name is not enough on its own to negate the lawsuit. Defamation by implication is a thing, in fact it is what Johnny Depp won with as Amber Heard never mentioned his name in the op ed. If the person you're defaming can be clearly implicated they can still sue you. That being said, there's still no way Def would win for a ton of other reasons.

[@NoahTakai]

That implies the level of celebrity between Depp and Def are comparable

@@ashleyrusnell5496 No but really, no one would have ANY idea she worked for him if he didn’t post something online. She said “iykyk who I worked for in the past” which A. could’ve been any number of people on her resume & B. was regardless of ‘A’ clearly referring to the private few who she’s open about her personal life with. Think the kind of follower who would be a Close Friend on instagram I agree with you on the rest obviously because Def Noodles is the trainwreck of 2022 no contest, and that’s considering big liz among other things! But I need you to know that unless you’re chronically online like we are you have 0 idea who he is. 0. Zero. Zip. Zilch. Nada. He barely has a career to damage in the first place. As hilarious as def-defamation-gate is as a concept, it’s in the same vein as that shitty game company trying to sue Jim Stephanie Stirling. The main problem is not that he’s ruining who he’s attempting to sue, it’s the mental health and stress aspect of openly harassing them into silence like this. And she doesn’t have the platform Stephanie does not to mention how she expects to afford fighting even the most outlandish of claims. Remember that SLAAP lawsuits almost never are made with the expectation of them winning the case, or even making it to court. The purpose is to intimidate the receiver as well as spitefully bleed whatever money they can as a bonus.

What really fascinates me about the defamation case is that there IS NO CASE HERE. Defamation is extremely hard to prove even in the best of circumstances, and he has to prove that NOT ONLY what she said was untrue, but that she knew it was untrue, and spread with with what is referred to as "Actual malice" (which has nothing to do with being mean, it just means that it was spread with full knowledge of being false). The fact that she didn't even use his name in the video or even use ANY known identifiers of his online persona is the real sinker here. He's a public figure, which already makes this hard for him, but he essentially told on himself instead of doing the smart thing and shutting the fuck up and perhaps like. Reflecting. You know, like an adult is supposed to. Maybe even reaching out to her and getting a more fleshed out version of her side of the story rather the the abbreviated version on tiktok IDK man. This DefNoodles situation is giving me a headache. He's making a damn fool of himself.

So defamation is really, really hard to win in the US. In Britain, it's actually easier, but in America, it's really hard and the standard is really high. You have to prove that not only did she lie, not only did she intentionally say untrue things, but that they actually inflicted harm upon you, and even more than that, that they knowingly did this to cause this. The standard is extremely high. And if he took it to court, he'd lose and have to pay for the whole thing, because there's no way to show that her words were lies, and even if they were, that they caused any kind of material harm to him or his business, because his reputation is so ungodly negative by his own hand!

I'm not a lawyer either, but I'm pretty sure Dennis would not succeed in the defamation case anyway. Besides the defenses of "sharing an opinion" and "telling the truth", there was a case I learned about in school where a woman who was a roadie or groupie or something for a big band was in a video that portrayed her doing some sort of "unsavory" act (I think it was at a party, but it wasn't anything too bad, maybe just general drinking and stuff), and the video ended up being published. The woman was not named and that was at least one of the reasons why the case didn't succeed, because people would not have known it was her had she not come forward. However, I'm very sorry to say that I tried to find this case to give a reference, but could not for the life of me find it and I can't remember the name of the band, only that it was one that I recognized as a household name.

There are some trips you can do on the fly and there are some you can't. Anything local you can easily get together and go but if it requires anything further than like 2 hours drive I would never go without full info. Burning Man is one of those trips you need some planning for even if you're local. Partying in a desert with no food or water = dehydration and heatstroke central. I do think both should've done some basic research, I never go on trips if I don't have basic information about what we're doing, but an employer is in charge of explaining some basic work based things about such a trip. She probably assumed there was water and food there and so did not get the water for that reason. (Yet again I blame both of them for not looking anything up individually). Neither him or her brought a cooler for food or water so I can see why she would be upset. I think she placed a lot of blind trust in him planning this work trip and he completely botched it. Which led to the whole problem. Regardless of it all though it's the employers job to fully brief and prepare an employee for such trips so her trust was technically in the right place, maybe not individually on a personality level but on a working level yes. Like what kind of employer doesn't even have a valid ID for such a trip??

[@pokemonpika77]

About the Drivers License thing, as someone who just had to renew their CA drivers license, the DMV encourages you to get a Real ID rather then just renew, so that might have been what he was complaining about. You need Proof of ID and Proof of Address. From my understanding of the US it is VERY EASY to request a new copy of your birth certificate, assuming the hospital that you were born in is still around. You can even do EVERYTHING ONLINE NOW for the DMV to get your Real ID, thats what I did. He made excuses and drove ILLEGALLY because he was NOT on the Rental Agreement. Because if he was not on the agreement then all footage of him driving is proof he broke an agreement and left him liable.

Hope she consults an attorney immediately!! This is actually disgusting. You’re not allowed to do this to employees in the United States! There’s strict laws on this stuff here. Now, the murky part is him not directly telling it to a potential new employer, but it’s the internet. And, if she has applied places and didn’t get the job, well…HERE YA GO! He’s out of his ever-loving mind. She can sue for everything he’s got and probably win. This isn’t drama between 2 KZbinrs, it’s between an employer/employee ex. Unbelievable. This might break actual criminal laws, too, I’m unsure on that. Labor laws possibly. She needs to consult an attorney right away. Everything needs archived, too. I will archive the video of his to WaybackMachine for her, if someone can let her know. This isn’t a joke, future employers will see this and it will negatively affect her employability. And, no, it doesn’t go both ways. It’s the power imbalance and the law sees that. Employees are allowed to express their opinions about employers.

[@DarlingMissDarling]

Also he broke the law the minute he had her rent the car for him then drove it like he stole it because he didn't give AF about the damages in HER NAME. All without a license. Breaking the law. She can also sue for negligence because on a business trip an employer is REQUIRED to provide adequate accommodations. Sleeping in the gd car is certainly not that. On top of the y'know, risking her life with the NO SUPPLIES THING. Lol which is also the employers responsibility on a business trip.
