I hear you. While I can't speak for anyone else who has posted in this thread, I can say my comments are based on 2 things:
1. class action is a serious suit, more serious than a typical lawsuit, which is serious enough. After reading much of the actual finding, the class in this suit is 2 people- the original model and mm. The suit mentions and includes many other models such as raven riley, but they are not members of the class, the profiles that use their pictures are included as evidence, that's not going to work in court, IMO.
With just the first model, the suit was filed claiming $1.5 billion in damages, after mm was added it was amended to $4.5 billion.
That distorts and perverts the case to make it virtually unmeritorious, if not frivolous.
And to have an attorney who doesn't even have a legitimate email address file such a case only adds to that.
2. The press release is a serious, no shit risk to everyone involved. If I were legal for match.com and this suit got real, I would move to have the entire thing thrown out due to that press release alone. The fact that the OP was even allowed to write and submit that also shows that the attorney is in over his head on this.
