Famous model Nina Agdal is suing influencing manager Hassan Haider for slander. Saying they had a sexual encounter in a bar bathroom and she used cocaine, she says Haider lied about her online. Social media was used to spread these untrue statements in an attempt to increase followers.
Nina thinks this was part of a smear campaign run by MMA fighter Dillon Danis, who has also publicly disparaged her. This effort is connected to supporting Danis’ struggle against October 2023 fiancé Logan Paul.
Defamation is the dissemination of misleading information meant to harm someone. Nina believes these lies have damaged her job and image. She is seeking recompense for the damage done and wants the court to ban Haider from spreading these lies.
This case emphasizes the actual harm incorrect information may cause as well as how fast it may proliferate on social media. It reminds us to use caution while sharing something online. We shall have to wait to find out what the court decides.
