A man is suing 27 women for a whopping £57 million ($75 million) after they left negative reviews about him on a Facebook page called "Are We Dating The Same Guy?"
Nikko D'Ambrosio, 32, claims these women have damaged his reputation by posting unflattering comments about him on the private Facebook group. According to the lawsuit, D'Ambrosio's name and photo were shared on this page, leading to defamation and invasion of privacy.
"The defendants broadcast their outrageous, cruel, and malicious lies about the plaintiff with knowledge that the statements were false or with reckless disregard as whether or not they were true," the complaint reads. Additionally, another man and Facebook's parent company, Meta, are also named in the lawsuit. The Facebook group describes itself as a community of "Red Flag Awareness" groups across the country where women empower each other and keep each other safe from "toxic men."

The lawsuit claims that a woman initially posted using her real name, but later reposted anonymously after D'Ambrosio's lawyers asked her to remove the original post. The suit alleges that the group has subgroups across the country that allow users to attack men they've met online.
"Thousands of men have been potentially defamed by members of the group via these online publications, and remain entirely unaware of the attacks on their character as a result of the social media group's private status and heavily moderated members list," the suit states.
D'Ambrosio's complaint alleges that the defendants spread false stories about their dating experiences with him, causing him "personal humiliation, mental anguish and suffering, emotional distress, stress, anxiety, lost earnings."

In his legal documents, he shared that he met a woman at a cultural event in Chicago and they had consensual sex that same night. They went on a few ordinary dates after that, but were never exclusive.
The woman allegedly posted on a Facebook group, accusing D'Ambrosio of becoming "very clingy very fast," showing off his wealth, and warning her not to see his "bad side," especially during business calls.
She also reportedly posted a picture of D'Ambrosio. Several women commented on the post, claiming they had similar experiences with him. One commenter wrote: "I went out with him a few times over a year ago he told me what I wanted to hear until I split with him and then he ghosted... I'd steer clear."
Another added: "He's been posted here before. The poster said he sent her a bunch of texts calling her names because she didn't want to spend the night with him."
"[Their] wrongful conduct is so outrageous in character and so extreme in degree that it is beyond all possible bounds of decency and is to be regarded as atrocious and utterly intolerable in a civilized community," the lawsuit said.
