Vic Mignogna Lawsuit |OT| Hold My Beard (Update: Appeal lost, Mignogna must pay attorney fees to defendants)
- Thread starter Sibersk Esto
- Start date
Read the io9 article. Hopefully it will expose more people as to why Funimation dumped him. It wasn't because of "Bulma's VA being a liar." Vic is a charismatic man with a history of not respecting people's boundaries and being creepy in the process. Hell, one of the stories in the article says he forced himself on a colleague in a hotel room and only stopped because of a knock at the door. People still asking for proof are no more than trolling at this point, are immature children, or have serious denile issues.
Or are sexual abusers themselves and just see Vic as their champion or some twisted shit like that.
I can agree with this. I feel like it's going to be lost in this thread.
Reading about Vic's fanbase explains a lot. Fucker is basically grooming a bunch of underage girls.
They know he's shit. I think Todd Haberkorn fucked himself up even attempting to extinguish a fire in the process. I think after that everybody was like
Clearly they're all just jealous of his talent and want him gone #Istandwithvic
/s
Your eyes aren't deceiving you on this point. Not a single one has come forward in his defense.
Neither has any director.
Or audio engineer.
Which says a lot considering he's been active in the industry for TWENTY-ONE YEARS.
Todd Haberkorn didn't exactly defend him, but he outed himself as a rapist...
That's correct, even Haberkorn's post did nothing to defend Vic. There was literally no one who has worked with Vic professionally that also supported him.
What the fuck, really? No, you arent being a jerk you are being a fucking criminal
The sad thing is that countless people really do believe that bullshit about silence equals consent.
Welcome and thank you for sharing your story. I'm so sorry to hear about your own personal experiences. :( Must be awful to see this unfold.
Jesus Christ. :(
People actually falling for this does not surprise me at all.
So the hair grab was something Vic did to multiple people. Complete sociopathic predator behaviour.

And the first reply I see is "Apologize to
The treatment of those who have come forward is really upsetting. Seeing the aggressive, dismissive remarks - the complete disregard for how difficult sharing these awful experiences can be - the anger pointed at victims and their friends - it's truly saddening.
And of course there are some people in the replies that are only there to shit on her.
Seeing these people being swindled out of their money almost makes me feel bad for them... almost.
Of course one of the first replies I see is someone telling her to apologize to Vic.
The fact that Monica Rial felt like she needed to apologize for "lashing out" is really upsetting to me.
yeah :/ I hope she's doing okay though. I can imagine how mentally exhausting this would be for her.
Reading Monica Rial's recent tweet, then hearing the end of a YouTube video where claims of collusion are levied at the recent i09 article - "I don't believe any of it", "I wonder why they didn't want to give their name" - made me so angry that I'm just going to go to bed.
She literally said she doesn't even want Vic's career to go down the drain and wants him to get help and grow as a person.
And then people still harass her...
Thankfully for every troll there's like 20~30 people showing support. So. That's good.
"I'm not defending Vic but I know the guys who are"
Yeah. Sure.
Anyone who falls for this is an idiot. If it wasn't for the one throwaway "this is for Vic's defense fund" I'd say it 100% is a scam, but the fact that's there makes me think it COULD be real, maybe.
But again- who the fuck is he going to sue if it is true? He can't go after a large group due to Texan laws given it'd probably include some of his Texan accusers, same with Funi and RT. So it'd have to be individuals. If it was one individual who happened to lie... what's the purpose? It doesn't discredit the rest. And then you have to ask why he doesn't go after the others. If it was someone spreading information, well, given the amount that's truthful and how easy it is to fall into believing lies, any lies spread by mistake would probably be able to be lawyered away as misleading to everyone.
So it... doesn't do anything for him. At all. So why would he do it?

Uhhhhhh holy shit this is like... probably a grift.

I've been following this since mid-Jan when more started coming to light and to see the dismissals, the threats, the anger pointed at the victims has been very upsetting and frustrating. My heart goes out to all those affected by Vic and others like him. :(
I'm just very glad that there are now finally consequences for Vic after all of these stories were bravely shared. I just wish those who came forward didn't have to deal with this terrible treatment. That io9 article is very well put together.

Unfortunately that kind of stuff is pretty easy to find if you know your way around public records sites (haven't looked up Monica but I imagine she's pretty easy to find if you know where to look since her name is unique).
On the topic of public records and unique names, I did some digging to see if the rumors about Vic lawyering up were true. So far I haven't found anything in court records. I'll update if I do.
I did find out that his primary residence was sold on January 31st of this year. It was initially listed for sale on November 21st of 2018, so I don't think it's related to the allegations. It generally takes 4-6 weeks for county to be updated with new addresses if the sale went smoothly. So as of right now, we don't have a current address for a man who has allegations of badtouching minors.
(yes his info is public. no i'm not posting it. y'all can look it up. Harris County has a nice search function)
How the fuck is she getting attacked for this. Motherfucker grabbed a chunk of her hair and kissed her without consent. Don't blame Monica for Vic losing work, fucking blame Vic. The mental gymnastics behind this is fucking stupid.
"wHeRe'S tHe EvIdEnCe?! I need to see strands of her hair, DNA tested, stuck under his nails as well as video and written proof it wasn't consensual!"
It's beyond fucked up that that fake quote I just wrote... is completely believable for these people to say. Hell, in some bizarre situation where they'd actually get all that they still wouldn't believe it. If Vic came out RIGHT FUCKING NOW and confessed to everything they still wouldn't believe it. As has been said above; This isn't about Vic anymore, it's about having yet another excuse to attack women.
So that internet lawyer who set up the gofundme for Vic? Yeeeaaah, not surprised.

I feel actual anger.
So many shit heads in the comments. She is literally being insulted and harassed and called a liar.
Her message was hard to go through and I cant believe she HAD to write this. And of course it's not enough.
Now those idiots are literally on YouTube trying to analyze every word she said to find a contradiction.

It's fucking disgusting. People have genuine attachment to a man because he voices a cartoon character they like, and nothing beyond that matters.
If he's somehow an actual lawyer, which is doubtful, someone needs to report him to his state's bar association. Could get his license revoked.
While I'm sure that part of it, there are plenty of them who just want to shut down women who come forward about their experiences.
So here are some cringy videos I dug up. I haven't seen them posted here so I hope it's okay that I share them.
Here is Vic telling the story of how he let a fan lick his hand.
Here is a video of him letting fans "glomp" him. This is back in 2006. Arguably, we could give him the benefit of the doubt that he didn't know what exactly that entailed.
However, this happened in 2014. Unless I misheard, and not that it matters, Vic is the one initiating the "glomp". This was by far the most cringeworthy in my opinion but they're all pretty awful.
