Jutu posted:He's still got lawsuits against WaPo and I think maybe a few others. Some "celebrities" maybe.
I heard today that his lawyer is going directly after a CNN anchor who claimed his face was fist worthy or something like that and also is going after Kathy Griffin. We can only hope he will prevail in both endeavors and even more as time goes on.
I know some said they wish they could wipe/knock the smile/grin off his face but thankfully today he's smiling for a totally different reason. Below is a list of people whom Nick's lawyer has sent letters to. You can bet that CNN's decision to settle out of court will reverberate throughout all of these people's minds and create fear in many others.
