Marriott Will WEAPONIZE Michael Irvin's Social Media Against Him in His Defamation Case, Here's How

In this video, we’ll look at how Marriott and its co-Defendants will attack Michael Irvin with his own social-media posts in his defamation lawsuit.
SUPPORT THE CHANNEL, UNLOCK PERKS: / thelegalpad
You’ve probably heard the line: “Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.” This is part of the Miranda Warning. Although this warning is typically given to criminal suspects, parties in civil cases like Michael Irvin’s defamation suit should heed this warning as well. If you’re a civil plaintiff or defendant, anything you say-especially on social media-can and will be used against you in a court of law.
Defense attorneys will often scour a plaintiff’s social media looking for anything that may contradict the plaintiff’s allegations or call their credibility into question. That’s especially true in cases where the plaintiff is seeking damages for mental anguish, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life.
Michael Irvin’s Complaint states that he is seeking damages for “humiliation . . . undue stress, anxiety,” and mental “anguish.” During Irvin’s first press conference after the NFL network and ESPN indefinitely suspended him from television, Irvin was clearly distressed and fighting back tears.
Host of ESPN’s First Take, Stephen A Smith, said that he talked to Irvin every week after the incident. He said that, in Irvin’s mind, he was “fighting for his life” because somebody cost him his career even though he’s done nothing wrong. Stephen A. explained that he "heard" and "saw" Irvin cry while "emphatically proclaiming his innocence."
In a Tweet earlier this month, Irvin revealed that he was traveling in Brazil because he was “in a dark place dealing with all that stuff since Super Bowl,” and he just “needed to get away.”
Despite this evidence of mental anguish, Marriott the other Defendants in Irvin’s defamation lawsuit may try to use other social media posts to undermine and contradict his contention that he experienced mental anguish, humiliation, undue stress, and anxiety.
To illustrate this point, I'll review two opinions in which courts granted the defendant full access to the plaintiff's social media accounts because the plaintiff's public posts called into question their allegations that they had suffered mental anguish, emotional distress, and a loss of enjoyment of life.
Then, I'll explain how Marriott and its co-Defendants may try to use Irvin's recent social media posts against him in his lawsuit.

Life goes on, even when a loved one dies, you still have to live your life. These snippets of his life do not reflect the losses he has occurred from these flagrantly false accusations. His monetary loss of income from the NFL does not effect his day to day life, but do cost him financially. If this is part of their defense, they have a weak case, harm was done to his reputation, how he handles it is irrelevant.

Irvin is alleging that he has been defamed, not that he is clinically depressed and unable to function. And he HAS suffered harm by having his Super Bowl appearances canceled.

IMO, the only time surveillance or social media is effective to the defense of a lawsuit is if you get them doing something they say they can’t do, usually under oath in Interrogatories or deposition testimony as it undermines their credibility. The typical juror would understand the harmful impact being pulled from the SB telecast to his psyche and livelihood. If the Defense isn’t careful, they run the risk of angering the jury. I think more problematic for him were his statements to those investigating the incident (he had been drinking, didn’t remember, etc.), but in the end, he should prevail.

@james douthat because you can always argue a point that's what practicing law is about. But just because you can don't mean you should. And this point, in particular, is reaching because the case file he mentioned does not have the same base line suffering. It would be a win for Irvin if Marriott lawyers argued this.

Michael Irvin was removed from his network job, banned from these hotel properties, and his reputation tarnished because of the victim's allegations. Will he get a sports network job back if he is found innocent? He does have the right to enjoy his life with friends and family. Nothing he does on social media should affect the outcome unless he says he did something to the victim. This case is interesting; it lets you see how both sides work to prove their right and the other side is wrong. Since this case started, the one thing that came to my mind was, suppose Michael Irvin wasn't a known celebrity. Would they be treated differently without money or fame? There is a lot at stake in this case. If Michael loses, his reputation, financial loss, and employment with any sports network are gone. If Michael wins, the hotel's reputation, NFL's commitment to using these hotel's and potential money lost on both sides. If there was no physical harm to anyone and only verbal talk, then why can't we as people just I'm sorry and forgive each other.

[@nunyabizness6662]

There is no innocent or guilty in a civil trial. Yes if he was not a public figure, it is actually easier to sue for defamation. The requirement for defamation of a public figure has a higher burden of proof. The critical factor is whether or not what the woman /Marriott told the NFL is true or not. If the preponderance of evidence is that it’s true, Irvin loses.

[@joeolivieri7620]

None of this has anything to do with the waitress and Marriott during Super Bowl Week. That has been stolen from him, and he will never get that back. The biggest question for the waitress, and Marriott is "If the allegations against Michael are so horrific, where is the police report?" Why wasn't a protective order filed against Michael if this waitress was so afraid? Why did Marriott NOT report this to police instead of the NFL? Why did Marriott not file a Trespass against Michael through the police? There are a lot of legal steps that were completely ignored that ANY "reasonable person" would have pursued, and there would be time/date stamped evidence of it. This is horrible to happen to anyone, in any position. It does not matter how much the job pays, it is someone's livelihood they are trying to destroy.

Its self explanatory. If they (defendants) can successfully get her involved in the suit it will create an additional form of stress and possible embarrassment to Irvin if they can prove that him approaching women in hotels is OLD HAT. Trust me, they will try. That's all im saying. You want to be his defender, that's fine. I'm just talking possible strategy for the defense

Speaking to trailer park trash got him caught up in a court case

​@@Ziegler84 so now you know where she lives? Irvins the trash

[@a.k.446]

How is he counting his eggs before they hatched. He is allowed to live a life that he can afford no matter what happens here. He’s not doing anything wrong. Hopefully it doesn’t go on for that long but even if it did , I hope he’s still enjoying his life and not allowing them to control his happiness.
