TikTok Star Robbie Harvey Plans Anti-SLAPP Defense Challenging Kassenoff’s $150 Million Defamation Lawsuit

Pensacola, Florida — The federal lawsuit brought by New York attorneys Allan Kassenoff and Constantine Gus Dimopoulos against Robert “Robbie” Harvey, a social media influencer with 3.1 million TikTok followers, may turn on whether it is an illegal SLAPP suit.

Filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Florida, Kassenoff and Dimopoulus’s lawsuit claims Harvey’s TikTok videos are grounds for defamation, intentional infliction of emotional distress, tortious interference with a business relationship, cyberstalking, and harassment.

They seek $150 million in damages.

Harvey’s attorney, Jonathan Davidoff, plans to mount an anti-SLAPP (Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation) defense, arguing the lawsuit is a meritless or frivolous legal action to suppress freedom of speech.

Harvey’s videos about Kassenoff and Dimopoulus have amassed around 39 million views on TikTok, where he provides reporting and opinion on Kassenoff’s divorce and custody case and the death of his wife by suicide.

Calling the lawsuit “a spiteful revenge lawsuit,” Davidoff said Kassenoff and Dimopoulos are “attempting to reshape the narrative” about their roles in “Catherine Kassenoff’s torturous plight throughout her divorce from Mr. Kassenoff.”

Kassenoff contends Harvey’s reporting led to the loss of his position at Greenberg Traurig, where he reportedly earned $1 million per year as a patent infringement litigator. Kassenoff alleges Harvey’s “reckless and false” videos incited his followers to contact his law firm and one of its prominent clients, Samsung, forcing his ouster.

Gus Dimopoulus         

Dimopoulos, who represented Kassenoff in his divorce and custody case, claims Harvey encouraged his followers to “bombard” his office with phone calls and emails, disrupting his legal practice. Dimopoulos claims he received over 2,700 harassing calls in a single day.

The focus of the lawsuit is on the truth of Harvey’s reporting about Kassenoff’s late wife, Catherine.

Catherine Kassenoff

On May 27, Catherine Kassenoff, also an attorney, posted “My Story” on Facebook.

In her “My Story” post, the last of hundreds of posts on her divorce and custody action, Catherine revealed she planned to end her life through assisted suicide at an unnamed Swiss clinic later that day.

She blamed her husband and his attorney, Dimopoulus, the corrupt family court system they manipulated, and a new cancer diagnosis for her planned suicide.

She wrote, “I can no longer endure the abuse and terror of Allan Kassenoff, who has spent the last 4 years mercilessly trying to incarcerate me on false charges. Perhaps if I had the physical endurance to keep going, I would. But with a new, terminal health issue that will soon be severely limiting my physical strength as well, and with no protection from our courts, I cannot keep running from Allan. I was recently diagnosed with a virulent and life-ending cancer.”

Catherine created a publicly accessible Google Drive to share documents, pictures, recordings, and videos for the media and the public.

In a surprising claim in the lawsuit, Allan Kassenoff alleges Harvey and Catherine conspired to lie about Catherine’s cancer diagnosis before she died.

The lawsuit claims, “Upon information and belief, Ms. Kassenoff and Defendant Harvey concocted the lie that Ms. Kassenoff had been recently diagnosed with terminal cancer in order to make Ms. Kassenoff’s ‘story’ more appealing and sympathetic to the public.”

Four days after Catherine’s final post on Facebook and three days after the Frank Report broke the story, Harvey posted his first of f 25 TikTok videos on the Kassenoffs.

Harvey’s TikTok videos prominently featured clips of Allan – which were videos Catherine filmed on her phone of her husband, and which she posted on her public Google Drive – that show Allan in an unflattering light – sometimes screaming uncontrollably, telling Catherine he hates her, and in one video teaching his children to sing about their mother being a “dead duck.”

Davidoff denies his client and Catherine conspired or that Harvey even knew of her before she took her life.

“Mr. Harvey was made aware of Ms. Kassenoff’s matter by his followers and then opined and reported on it as a member of the press,” Davidoff said.

If Harvey prevails in his anti-SLAPP defense, the judge will dismiss the case and may order the plaintiffs to pay the defendant’s legal fees and punitive damages.

If not, the case will start on the long road to trial, with discovery providing details, and a spotlight on a contentious divorce and custody case that saw a mother lose her parental rights, and ultimately her life, and the role of her husband and his attorney in the matter minutely dissected.

It will explore whether a TikTok star told the truth about them, and help define the line between First Amendment-protected opinion and the protection of truth as a requirement of the reporting of facts.

  • Frank, there is NO possible way he didn’t make money off the Kassenoff case. Please look throughly into this. He bragged about making 20 000 in the month of June. He bragged to a woman on TikTock about his views. This all equates to $$$ made. Have you seen the recent pictures of his TV room he ironically updated in the month of June? He is begging his fans for $$. Most of his fans can’t even afford the 5.00 they are sending him and never could afford the updated game room.

    • Sitting on both sides of the fence guarantees at some point you will fall or be pierced by the fences wire - FR likes living in the edge says:

      Stop wasting your time 11:37 am . Comments to Frank fall on deaf ears! Frank to me is like Robbie Harvey – he only cares about his image , staying out of jail & trying to incite people so they post ! FOOL ME ONCE, SHAME ON YOU – FOOL ME TWIcE, SHAME ON ME!!!

  • So this Harvey guy makes money off of these alleged victims on his social media pages and doesn’t share that money with them but instead wants those same victims to fund his defense for claims he made in order to make money.

    Nice scam

    • I believe the TikTok policy is that videos which portray abuse cannot be monetized. I suspect that most of Harvey’s Kassenoff videos did not earn any money.

      • Even if TikTok didn’t pay him on any of the Kassenoff posts they are still click bait for the rest of his site. Why doesn’t he share all that money with the women in need instead of asking them to fund the lawsuit he brought on himself?

  • Why not report about the travesty of RH exploiting women by posting their trauma as click bait to make money for himself? He is not helping anyone with his fake sincerity and canned poses and same schtick time and time again. He is lining his pockets off the misery of others and would never show an interest in these women if he did not have an audience. Try focusing on the multitudes who actually help women but don’t proclaim themselves an “influencer”. There any many unpaid DOERS- we don’t need an interweb troll selfishly monetizing trauma for his own game room and gain.

  • Wow! Just wow! Images are surfacing of Robbie Harvey remodeling his entire game room in the month of June. Ironically the same month he bragged about his 20,000. He has signed items, video games, huge TV. Who funded this?? Oh yes, the money he made from defaming Allan and Gus. Just like the snake he APPEARS to be, he deleted this already like his stupid apology. The internet is forever 🤣 Frank please cover this!

  • Love the headline – “TikTok Star”

    Claimed 4 million followers and so far a whopping 45 of the deluded have thrown away a few dollars on this narcissistic money grab attempt. He wrote his gofundme in the third person and now must face the reality that he is not a “star” but merely a defendant in a costly litigation that he will try to exploit for more views and money but ultimately will expose him for the insignificant piece of human protoplasm that he is.

  • Rh is so pathetic. How can he ask his following to fund his lawsuit,? Oh that’s right! He doesn’t work! He just sends his wife to work who has cancer!

  • You report uneithical business practice, conflict of interest, purjury to the judges and the bar association when it’s the attorneys. You report fraud waste and abuse to several others government organization. You report uneithical conduct by judges to the judiciary committee. You don’t go back to the same group of people that are the problem. That’s why Connecticut is such a mess. They keep sweeping 🧹 it all under judicial immunity.

  • The apelliate court is not where you go to address curruption of attorneys and judges. It is just another place to waste money 🤑💰 on legal fees.

  • Thanks for letting me know I should have gone there. . As a matter of fact I do believe in the spirit of Santa Claus. That is in the heart of people who choose to give gifts in his honor. The same anticipation of the same gift we have in Jesus Christ. It’s my legal right to do so. It’s too bad you are offended in the belief of the spirit of Santa Claus.

  • And now Harvey has the brass ones to try to get the very same lemmings who follow his TikTokinonsense to pay for his defense. It’s not enough he monetizes their trauma but now he wants them to pay Davidoff who is only doing this to annoy his ex-wife’s lawyer. Pathetic

  • And now the “clown” who posted several times that he welcomed a lawsuit has started a Go Fund Me. Get a job Robbie. Stop embarrassing your family

  • Allan, Di hippopotamus and Robbie are aging white privileged duchebags. All three should shut the fuck up and get mental help.

    • This fraud should be a bigger deal amongst all those following along. She had no part in 9.11 or cleanup nor did she live or work in the zone, Walking by one day and then claiming $ for the most common cancer is really disgraceful

  • Frank Parlato and Rob Harvey will expose the racketeering of family courts. Finally! 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽❤️❤️❤️

  • Calling someone a clown is an opinion.. not defamation and if you read correctly I said “Mr. Davidoff appears to be a clown. I didn’t say it’s “fact” he is a clown or that RH and Mr. Davidoff go around calling themselves ” clowns”. In terms of further lawsuits, anyone who was/has been defamed by RH on his platform absolutely should file suit. The therapist who he posted the wrong picture of is STILL up…but all this is ok ..

  • Stop responding to the comments. As we have seen prior Allen and the girlfriend like Chris place comments. They are not capable of self reflection. We all know RH reported on the videos. He didn’t report anything that wasn’t facts. Irregardless of Catherine’s behavior. He was abusive in the videos.

  • Allens behavior in the video meet the clinical definition of abuse. Irregardless of Catherine’s behavior. Case dismissed

  • RH is a clown, and his attorney appears to be one too..This isn’t about RH just reposting videos. He made defaming, slanderous comments towards Allan and Gus. In fact, I’m shocked not everyone mentioned Most, Abrams, the judge hasn’t filed their own lawsuit. Let’s not forget about the therapist RH posted the wrong picture of.. Hopefully this is just the beginning of lawsuits. Looks like you might be a busy guy Mr. Davidoff

    • 5:49.

      What do you hope to accomplish with your comments?

      In what ways should we respond reading, “RH is a clown, and his attorney appears to be one too.”

      Do you consider your comments to be defaming and slanderous?

      “Hopefully this is just the beginning of lawsuits.“ Seems to say you hope more lawsuits will be filed. Please explain.

  • If lawyers’ lawsuits and mandatory boosters control everyone from now on, wouldn’t that be a Nazi thing? says:

    That lawsuit reminds me of when Jordon Trishton Walker was trying to pick up James OKeefe’s colleague in that restaurant in New York. Walker was “Pfizer Director of Research and Development – Strategic Operations and mRNA Scientific Planning”. And what happened after that bombshell news broke?

    Wealthy powers-that-be hired lawyers to try to silence those investigative journalists.

    O’Keefe simply told the people of our world what the people of our world need to know — and remember the lawsuits to silence journalists who exposed the NXIVM crimes?

    Remember all the other lawsuits waged for politics and control, lately? Why are we the people allowing our justice systems to be misused in that way? Why aren’t Catherine’s colleagues — and all good lawyers and judges — who are still alive and working in the justice system speaking loudly about that horrible misuse of our great courts?

    A few quotes from Pfizer’s Director of Research and Development, Strategic Operations – mRNA Scientific Planner:

    “Part of what they want to do is, to some extent, to try to figure out, you know, how there are all these new strains and variants that just pop up. So, it’s like trying to catch them before they pop up and we can develop a vaccine prophylactically, like, for new variants. So, that’s why they like, do it controlled in a lab, where they say this is a new epitope, and so if it comes out later on in the public, we already have a vaccine working.

    “One of the things we’re exploring is like, why don’t we just mutate it ourselves so we could create — preemptively develop new vaccines, right? So, we have to do that. If we’re gonna do that though, there’s a risk of like, as you could imagine — no one wants to be having a pharma company mutating fucking viruses.”

    “Don’t tell anyone. Promise you won’t tell anyone. The way it would work is that we put the virus in monkeys, and we successively cause them to keep infecting each other, and we collect serial samples from them.”

    “You have to be very controlled to make sure that this virus that you mutate doesn’t create something that just goes everywhere. Which, I suspect, is the way that the virus started in Wuhan, to be honest. It makes no sense that this virus popped out of nowhere. It’s bullshit.”

    “From what I’ve heard is they are optimizing it, but they’re going slow because everyone is very cautious — obviously they don’t want to accelerate it too much. I think they are also just trying to do it as an exploratory thing because you obviously don’t want to advertise that you are figuring out future mutations.”

    “Because some of the times there are mutations that pop up that we are not prepared for. Like with Delta and Omicron. And things like that. Who knows? Either way, it’s going to be a cash cow. COVID is going to be a cash cow for us for a while going forward. Like obviously.”

    More cash cows. Like obviously.

    • Robbie Harvey is NOT an investigative journalist nor a phenomenon! He blatantly & recklessly ignored the truth to line his pockets by amassing followers . He then tried to use that scenario to exploit vulnerable women ! I wonder how Robbie Harvey would of treated another influencer had they been caught & putted as he was !?! Magically he’s managed to avoid the limelight that he thrusts upon others in the same situation of cheating on their wives…, hmmm how has he kept his in appropriate direct messages under wraps?!? Can’t wait for discovery to uncover the many truths & sides to Robbie Harvey !!!!

      • What the hell are talking about? Are you engaging in deflimation of character? Calling Robbie Harvey a cheater? Where is the proof. Trying to plant seeds to get the heat off.

  • What absolute losers kassanoff and Dims are!!! This just proves Catherine’s case of protracted and vexatious litigation. He should be spending all his time trying to help and heal his daughters. Even if they win the case everyone will see them as the losers that they are. What kind of man can’t put his kids first ??? These poor kids ! Can’t wait until they’re 18 and ready to tell their stories – if they want to. Just like Woody’s kids when they came of age.

    • Catherine was the vexatious litigant. She sued Allan and Gus in multiple courts and lost every time even every appeal. Catherine used Robbie Harvey and now she’s using Davidoff from the grave. Good luck to u 2 clowns. In the end Catherine always loses. I’m sure Allan is enjoying his beautiful and happy girls despite all of u nonsensical comments

  • This is really an injustice. Harvey is just a TikTok phenomenon which means whatever it means. Social media is what it is.

    But the injustice is this. Allan Kassenoff had every right to win in court. He did it legal fair and square.

    Cathy was a lawyer too. So he whooped her butt. Tough luck. She couldn’t take it. So she offs herself. I say good riddance. We got too many people on this planet. Too bad more people don’t do what Cathy did. Nobody misses her. Lots of people are glad she is gone to a much much warmer climate.

      • I hope Robbie Harvey is sued into oblivion, but to say you are glad this woman committed suicide is just absolutely heinous. I wish Catherine was still here and got the psychiatric help she needed.

      • Must be Gus or Allan couldn’t possibly be someone defends Allan or thinks the world is a better place without Catherine. Ask her kids. I’m sure they’ll say thank god the witch is dead

        • Fairness. I can send you over 100 pages of documents that show you what fair looks like in Connecticut. GALs placed on cases with significant conflict of interest. Pushing reunification therapy with out court orders. Engaging in therapy sessions. Getting locked out of the court room. Locked out of family relations. Using fear and intimidation. Psychologist abandonment than forcing re engagement. Failure to report third party payer. Withholding legal funds appropriated for the minor not the defendent. Misusing the funds to place the mother in an economic disadvantage. With holding information from the court. No notification of termination of GaL services when orders where extended through covid. Defending using house hold funds during divorce proceeding. 2 Child support financial affidavit doesn’t match mortgage application. Both signed off on by defendants legal counsel. All attorneys also provided with documents.. this is only pieces of what happened. I would be hard pressed to not know something is going on in family court. The attorney general office, department of public health and the bar association already has all my information. Just in case anyone disbelieves. Blowing the whistle is frawned upon in Connecticut and nothing is done about it.

          • So basically you are talking about your perception of your own case to suggest the entire system is corrupt. Thank you for clarifying that

          • No.. I’m saying that I support the idea that beyond my own I’m sure there is more. I don’t think everyone making claims is currupt. Voicing support their sre definitely problems. I’m sorry you may be offended that I believe I’m not alone in having this situation. Facts are a little more than perception. But financially invested people can continue to pretend these things couldn’t possibly happen.

          • The appellate courts provide oversight for the family courts. And saying you “believe” there are pervasive problems in the courts is no more probative on the issue than you saying you believe in Santa Claus.

  • Robbie looks like a strong healthy man, not weak nor weak minded. I appreciate the sensitivity he gives while talking about horrible people like Allan. He gives a respectful warning to the videos with violence. He gives a voice to the voiceless, like Catherine. I hope Robbie shares all the tea with us.

    • R-E-S-P-E-C-T is earned not a token given to a person who spews information w/out caring about the facts (others call it gossip) says:

      So do you also find Robbie Harvey respectful to his wife Tiffany who while she is battling cancer he direct messages other women inappropriately ?!? Do you respect that he lurks to catch other men cheating , but when he was outed he remained silent ! Wake up and smell the coffee – watch his videos all rehearsed with the same facial expressions the curling up of his lips the fake cough before acting like he’s holding back tears ! He says it on his video – he profits off his videos – he manipulated a narrative to get more views and therefor lining his pockets w/ more $$$$$$

    • He manipulates and monetizes the trauma sustained by others for his own benefit. This is not a “reporter”. This is an opportunist who would have nothing to say if he could not make a buck off of it.

  • Great article ♥ Im totally loving this story and look forward to dissecting every word. I hope Robbie wins and cameras will be enforced inside family courts. Allan and Dipshit are fit for Frank Report .

  • Kassenoff and Dimipoulas are exposed. They oppose civil rights, civil liberties. They are attacking Investigative Journalists. They both need professional help.

    • He’s not a reporter. He’s a creator on TikTok. No journalist does such a shitty investigative journalism. This is post for clicks

    • Robbie Harvey is not a journalist – he’s a social media influencer/creator! He didn’t do any investigation , for that matter neither did the NY Post ! How are Allan Kassenoff & Gus exposed – Robbie Harvey has no documented proof of the tales he told yet the Plaintiffs have everything documented ! Robbie Harvey made comments stating they were FACTS & did not say they were his opinion . He blatantly lied & j we he was lying. He saw $$$ rolling in & felt he was untouchable

      • I think Allen and his girlfriend wanted to keep the drama going. More spot light 🚨. Win at all costs. Just when things were settling down. As we focus on Karen and the children. In pops Allen and company. The nasty comments fly. Does anyone notice the tone of conversation? It heats up. I’m sure this is the tone Catherine had to live with. No peace, constantly defending herself. I can sure see why she was not well at times. Too bad she had to end her life to stop the situation. Allen just moved on to Harvey. He reported information on the video. Editorial of the Kassonff case. Just as Allen supporters did. Toss the case out.

  • Why leave out the juicy nugget that Harvey’s lawyer Davidoff got the shit-end of the stick in his divorce, and Gus was the divorce lawyer for Davidoff’s then-wife?

    • If true, that would have no difference to me as a reader, or an avid follower of this heartbreaking story. Why do you feel there’s a need to mention it? Do you feel that makes him better, or less, equipped to do his job in representing Harvey?

      • If Davidoff has his own personal gripe against Allan or/and Gus then of course he’s not qualified to have his clients best interest ! He should be man enough to recuse himself . It will be interesting to learn through discovery how Davidoff was hired as Robbie Harvey’s attorney & if they conspired at some point to try to bring Allan & Gus down . Davidoff on a few occasions let his feelings be known on Facebook …

        • Please try to follow along. Davidoff might end up as a witness, yes, but there is no reason he can’t represent Harvey right now, and certainly not at the beginning of the case at the pre discovery phase. Given his history with Gus, he might actually care that Harvey is being attacked for trying to shine a light on the dirty tactics used by Gus and others in what many of us know is a corrupt Family Court system. Harvey is filing an anti SLAPP, of which he has every right to do, whether you think he’s a ‘journalist’ or not. If the case continues, I suspect Harvey might find other counsel for various reasons. But we shall see.

      • Misty,

        Conflicts of interest are real. So are politics, control and greed. So is something some call, “5D Chess”.

        • Let Harvey have counsel. Information disclosed. Harvey has the right to zealous counsel. It’s not a conflict. The attorneys are not best buddies.

    • I agree with grudge match. Why would Robbie Harvey engage a non defamation lawyer to represent him in a $150M lawsuit against him. He and Davidoff aren’t taking this seriously and are trying to make this into a circus. Davidoff’s clients primarily consist of anyone with an association to Gus. The optics of Robbie engaging him are that this is a grudge match for Davidoff so he’s cutting Robbie a break. There are 6 very serious counts here and I don’t think Robbie is taking this seriously. He’s a TikTok creator. He is not a journalist nor is he considered the press. I think defined roles are important. I get y Allan a non defamation lawyer is representing himself. He lost his job and is preserving his finances for his children. Clearly from the way his complaint is written he’s a very meticulous litigator and could handle this. Davidoff?! Cmon he’s just got a bone to pick with Gus. He also fails to mention he himself had a relationship both professionally and personally with Catherine. Look back at earlier Frank articles.
      If I didn’t think Robbie was a fool before I now have confirmation

      • It is Allan and Gus who make this a circus by filing a lawsuit for damages along the lines of what Johnny Depp, an international star, filed. 150m?? Snort. The lawsuit was filed a week ago. Harvey has apparently chosen counsel for this initial stage, but that does not preclude him from making a change along the way, a fairly common occurrence as litigation progresses.

  • Have they nothing better to do? Harassed this poor woman to death literally and are now going after this guy? For what ? So they can feel better about themselves and their hand in her demise?

    Losers.

    • Robbie Harvey is a scam & needs to be stopped from continuously exploiting women & profiting off of making their trams into sensational videos to gain viewers !
      Allan Kassenhoff & Gus D. are not losers bec just like Robbie Harvey they have a right if he recklessly harassed them & worse inflicted undo harm to three minor girls then I would sooner claim that Mr Harvey is a loser having 3,000,000 followers attack not just the father but the children as well . The dead woman is a loser for posting all this & her suicide post on Facebook for her girls to read about it instead of her showing up that Mother’s Day the Sun before her suicide to say good bye! She left this mess for her kids to have as a burden on their shoulders & ask others to fight a battle she wasn’t willing to cont to fight for . She knew her tales were being exposed in court so she jumped shipped – no mother leaves their children w/ a father they feel is abusing them ! And even w/ her phony claim to have terminal cancer the Catherine trolls are the biggest loser bec they never question they just follow the herd mentality !

  • “The book also gets into former FBI Director James Comey’s tenure as general counsel at the firm from 2010 to 2013.”

    … then in 2013, the good ol’ boys of New Haven covered up all the federal crimes in Connecticut family courts. How many more children and families were destroyed after that? It’s ten years later and not everyone’s name has been Jennifer.

    • And we didn’t have the blessings of death when our children were taken and abused while we have been utterly powerless to stop it

  • I’m not a lawyer, but this doesn’t sound right. Anti-SLAPP are state statutes not federal statutes. It’s extremely limited on the federal level. Allan filed this lawsuit in federal court. I don’t think this defense is right.

    • Mike, you appear to be a supporter of Allan. Do you have information about this case. You are not shy. Spill the tea ☕.

      • He’s not a supporter of Allan. He’s just jealous when anyone else besides himself profits off the pain of custody battles.

        • You’re a pussy Volpe. U know Catherine was crazy and abusive. U just don’t want to go up against the popular narrative. I’m sure once it shifts to Allan’s favor ur be singing his praises. What a great guy. He was willing to do anything to protect his kids from Cathy the psychopath

          • Allen Kassonff is that you trying to intimidate Volpe? This is what you did to Catherine. I bet you called her the c word often. Big man. Your ego is going to be your downfall.

        • Catherine appears well put together to me. She has intelligent legal arguments. It’s a dead giveaway that Allen continues to insist on Catherine not being able to provide a roof over the children head. There are repeated events of judges refusing to hear women on being used able to remain in the home to provide stable environment for the children. These Rich daddy’s are able to manipulate judges. She doesn’t appear to have an unspecified mental health issue. She appears to have a series of stressors brought upon her. Going to the public to educate on what is happening to our nations court system is frowned upon. Harvey, volpe, Parloto, and a few others are targets. Children’s right to privacy is being used to cover up the court crimes and bias system. Allen and Men like to grandstand. He continues to take no responsibility and make Catherine out to be a horrible person. She had no family support. Her old hometown has no clue how the family court system operates. The cruelty. If I had never experienced family court personally I would think a lot of these on line folks were “crazy”. They are not. People like Catherine are picked apart and misunderstood. Silenced and discredited because of the greed. Our nations courts are not working. They are currupt to the core. She was physically, emotionally and spiritually exhausted. She is dead. Allen Kassonff and his crew are pissed off because someone one actually stood up for her. Provided an editorial on her case. Allen also used platform in social media to provide his own editorial of the case. Engaging in deflimation of character of his former spouse. Because more people were believing Harvey’s report on Allen’s actions he and his attorney have decided to have a legal temper tantrum. There is no one to bring a lawsuit against him for using questionable evaluators to engage in deflimation of character of Catherine in family court. A license to practice psychology court vendor spreading disputable facts is leading the courts into dangerous territory. Relentlessly. Shut the AFCC down. Clean up our nation legal system.

        • I listened to your link & didn’t hear anything on the Kassenoff case ! Can you please be more explicit as to whom do you support & why ?
          I also wonder if you are biased when it comes to this complaint as in the past I have seen comments you posted on Facebook being vocal against Allan Kassrnoff based off the Robbie Harvey videos ! What due diligence did you do at that time to back up your comments

          • Even journalist have the right to opinions based on what they see from another journalist, even one reporting on Tic Tok. Get it together people. He’s had negative opinions on Catherine also. He’s not going to answer because Allen has loads of time to file even in Chicago. He’s unemployed. Prone to legal temper tantrums.

          • None. He does no due diligence. He spits back the bs that he reads. I guarantee u he didn’t even read the complaint yet calls himself an investigative reporter

      • There’s nothing to spill … read the complaint! Allan Kassenoff meticulously details all the evidence to show that Robbie Harvey behaved recklessly & w/ intent . At one point Robbie turned this personal saying how he doesn’t like this guy etc … Allan is a litigating attorney he knows not to swing accusations w/out facts to back them ! Wasn’t it Robbie Harvey who said “he welcomes a lawsuit!”?

    • The allegations are state causes of action, and this case is in District Court only because of diversity of citizenship. This, the court uses Florida law to adjudicate the claims.

    • I think they filed under diversity jurisdiction, meaning as controversy over $75,000 with defendants from different states. If that’s the case, the state law anti-SLAPP protections under Florida law are available.

      Florida has two narrow anti-SLAPP statutes, but neither is likely to protect bloggers and non-traditional journalists engaging in online publishing activities. Fla. Stat. § 768.295 protects against SLAPPs brought by government entities in retaliation for exercising one’s right to petition the government. Fla. Stat. § 720.304 protects a homeowner’s right to petition the government when acting to “address matters concerning [his or her] homeowners’ association.” It applies to SLAPPs brought by individuals, business associations, and government entities.

      • Richard you are incorrect. 295 also applies to SLAPPs brought by “persons” and apply to speech made in or in connection with a public issue including play, movie, television program, radio broadcast, audiovisual work, book, magazine article, musical work, news report, or other similar work.

        Likely to apply here. Question is can al and Gus show Harvey went to far. It’s probably a close call.

    • Can’t blame him for trying anti-SLAPP though. It’s worth the shot to try to get the case thrown out before it goes to discovery.

    • It is correct. He filed in federal court based on diversity, but state anti SLAPP is applied. There is a long history of this in various courts as many defamation claims are filed in federal court against publishers based on diversity.

  • So Harvey is represented by Davidoff who has claimed that the same court didn’t do justice in his divorce….

    Interesting little circuit of individuals who couldn’t prove their claims in their own divorces all hooking up to support each other. Doesn’t this cast doubt on the narrative that women aren’t being treated fairly in the courts? Isn’t this just evidence that a small group of litigants are simply unhappy they couldn’t prove their claims and then band together to support each other to allege this is a pervasive issue when it is not? Why would Harvey retain Davidoff but to continue a false narrative that the courts are a problem when it seems that a troubled group of unsuccessful litigants are looking to shift the blame off their own responsibility in divorce outcomes?

        • Such random personal insults used to win arguments until those who care about what’s happening in the world were able to research anything online for free 24/7/365.

          What real questions do you still have? Or, do you know all you need to know?

        • Have been living in a tent 🎪 in the middle of the woods? Blind faith in the judicial system has been the demise of many.

          • It’s not blind faith but review of actual facts. It’s the unknowing sheep who get led to slaughter or the lemmings who all go over the cliff together by their refusal to learn the facts and instead rely upon gossip and conjecture.

        • Baseless conspiracies?

          Frank keeps sending me ESP messages when I’m in the shower.
          I believe the jews are controlling Frank.

          That isn’t a baseless conspiracy it’s the truth A’hole!!!!

  • Robbie Harvey is the press now?!!! Seriously?!!! He’s a creator as that’s what influencers call themselves on TikTok. I would hardly categorize him as the press. Please Robbie and Jonathon please show us your press card 😂😂😂

  • There’s a big difference between Freedom of speech and actively having your 3M followers go after someone’s job and harass their employers and clients in an attempt to get him fired (successfully). Which would likely be one of many reasons this suit will not get dismissed. Robbie is on camera relishing and taking credit for Allan getting fired. Having his followers harass Allan, Gus and others involved is not free speech.
    It does not go unnoticed that Jonathon Davidoff, who we all know is a friend of Catherine’s is representing him. Davidoff himself has sued Gus 2 times bc Gus represented his ex in their divorce. He has also been on record as Catherine’s attorney in the divorce. I’m not familiar with the law but he may be asked to recuse himself for various conflicts.
    The only slap should be across the face for these 2 clowns to team up.
    Good luck. After reading that complaint they are both out of their league. Allan meticulously backed up everything he’s seeking and nowhere in there does he deny Robbie his right to free speech. But u cannot stuck ur minions on people. U can’t defame them with lies. U can’t claim what ur saying is fact based on a vengeful Dropbox and not do the due diligence.

      • Right. Bc anyone that doesn’t believe Catherine is a saint is Allan 🙄🙄. You’re probably one of those people who didn’t read the complaint yet feels like an authority in the kassenoff case. I bey Volpe didn’t read the complaint either. That’s y he’s not sure which side he’s on. After all he’s been talking to Catherine for years but if he actually read the complaint he might have to admit he was duped and not a very good investigative reporter since he didn’t investigate the validity of what she said.

      • Allan ? Here we go again ! Such immaturity to think others read & think for themselves ! Allan has no need to prove himself to Frank , The Frank Report , or Catherine’s & Robbie Harvey’s Trolls!

    • “… and nowhere in there does he deny Robbie his right to free speech. …”

      So, only some people can say some things and others can’t? And, some people can cause harm while their victims should remain silent about the harm done? We used to call that “bullying”.

      Who said what that prompted judges and attorneys to take Catherine’s three children away from her?

      Allan lost his job because of what Allan did, because of what Allan said and because of everyone Allan paid.

      Catherine lost her children because of what Allan did and said — and because of what Allan, Gus, Carol, Lewis and Marc said after that. Once that ball got rolling, it wouldn’t have been surprising had Lewis and Clark chimed in, too.

      Meanwhile, Catherine’s job protecting and raising her children was the most important job in the world to her.

      Who said what to make Catherine lose her most important job?

Parlato has been prominently featured on HBO’s docuseries “The Vow” and was the lead investigator and coordinating producer for Investigation Discovery’s “The Lost Women of NXIVM.” Parlato was also credited in the Starz docuseries "Seduced" for saving 'slave' women from being branded and escaping the sex-slave cult known as DOS.

Additionally, Parlato’s coverage of the group OneTaste, starting in 2018, helped spark an FBI investigation, which led to indictments of two of its leaders in 2023.

Parlato appeared on the Nancy Grace Show, Beyond the Headlines with Gretchen Carlson, Dr. Oz, American Greed, Dateline NBC, and NBC Nightly News with Lester Holt, where Parlato conducted the first-ever interview with Keith Raniere after his arrest.
