Just running with an anonymous letter about a college student, not to mention that it could be slander.
Glad to see journalistic integrity still remains in this day and age.
October 28th, 2015 at 5:47 PM ^
Well actually, it can't be slander...because it's written.

While generally true "famous" people aka public figures get less protection, I doubt the Michigan law would consider Peppers famous enough. Not a Michigan lawyer, but even if the law did consider him famous, the extra protection is basically he would have to prove she intended actual malice instead of negligence with the defamatory letter. This letter would likely qualify under both actual malice and negligence.

This story was already posted earier, but was quickly deleted by the Mods. I assume they will do the same or at least lock the thread.
October 28th, 2015 at 5:55 PM ^
Yeah they should lock it, otherwise when this is on CNN tomorrow we will get 30 new threads.

A male who is beginning to rise to fame is just now being accused of something horrible by a female? This has to be a first.

because of this post, I will now call it THE CLAM from now on.
October 28th, 2015 at 5:48 PM ^
So she claims she got the same STD from Peppers TWICE?
Seems more like a hoax than a real event.
October 28th, 2015 at 5:48 PM ^
Again??
October 28th, 2015 at 5:48 PM ^
Why would you admit to not protecting yourself with someone who previosuly gave you chlamydia? Does this person go to Michigan and if so, how did they get in?

And how dumb is this woman to "allegedly" get an STD from the same man twice? Sounds like a bitter ex to me.

Ummmm from one perspective I get it, she's young, thinks she's in love and thinks he's changed. So it's not really all that shocking to me. That said I doubt she'll let it happen again.
October 28th, 2015 at 5:52 PM ^
Who wants to bet he gives it to her a third time??

Relationship drama is the worst kind of drama and it must be even worse when it's to the point of distributing 5,000 flyers around campus and THEN becomes national news. I somehow doubt the woman thought it would get this much publicity and am filing this under everyone does things when they're young that escalate WAY beyond where they meant them to.

When you post 5000 flyers, it's going to get publicity.
How does that even work? How / where do you post 5000 flyers? With chlamydia, no less.
October 28th, 2015 at 5:55 PM ^
will be locked or nuked in a matter of 5 minutes.

Damn, can't even blame this on social media. She posted flyers just like in the old days.
However, social media is the reason they know about it in Singapore and not just the Diag.
