Nowadays, it is so easy to talk bad about anyone over the internet. All you need to do is post some harsh words on your social media account and that's it. Your followers will get to know what you think about that person. But in the case of Brooke Hogan, who happens to be daughter of famous wrestler, Hulk Hogan; sending out a bad post on another person without merit can be very costly. Especially since Hogan has a huge number of followers, it can't be so easy to backtrack and apologize for the mistake. And true enough this is what prompted Alexis Williams to file a cyber defamation lawsuit against Hogan.

A law firm representing Williams made an announcement today when they sent out a letter to Hogan about the lawsuit she is being sued for. According to the document shared by WrestleZone, Hogan accused Williams of participating in dogfighting with the posts Hogan made on her Instagram and Twitter accounts.

Williams claims that she has never met Hogan before. But despite this, she has continued to be the subject of death threats in person or over the internet because of the false accusations Hogan has made against her. She has also been ridiculed, humiliated, and suffered mental anguish for Hogan's accusations. Not to mention, this has caused her a loss in her capacity to make a living for herself. Williams is described as a medical lab employee and a veteran of the US Army. She says she has owned and loved animals throughout her lifetime.

According to 24Wrestling, the lawsuit was first filed in September 2015 but was not delivered to Hogan, as she has been evading service. The law firm handling Williams' case attempted to arrange a service in private through Hogan's agent and manager but failed.

Hogan has deleted the posts relating to Williams and has continued to hide in her boyfriend's home whenever a process server would try to deliver the lawsuit to her. For Williams' part, she is seeking Hogan to pay for compensatory damages and be given punitive damages.
