It began as a quarrel in a parking lot —a near-accident at a Dunkin’ Donuts edited into a viral lie. Based on the lie—the claim that Jennifer Couture tried to run over Anglyke Reed —a TikToker named Danesh Noshirvan built a narrative of “assault with a deadly weapon.”
He edited the video. He removed Reed’s threats, her screaming, her rage. He cut the part that showed Couture backing up to talk, not to hit her. In Danesh’s version, Couture was trying to run Reed down.
The internet’s jury watched the lie and found Couture guilty in a minute. What followed was an onslaught—not nearly as organic as it seemed.
A sheriff caved to what he believed was online pressure and arrested Couture, charging her with assault with a deadly weapon – the weapon being the car. The mob got what it wanted.
Later, the true facts were settled. The case was reduced to a misdemeanor.
Next, it was Danesh’s turn..
Couture and her husband, Dr. Ralph Garramone, a plastic surgeon, filed suit in May 2023 in federal court in Fort Myers. They alleged that Noshirvan defamed them, that he was a cyberstalker, and that he interfered with Dr. Garramone’s business in a tortious manner.
Danesh denied it. In his lawsuit, he defended his “accountability culture.” His lawsuit reads: “Noshirvan does not advocate for… harassment… nor has [he] ever directed his viewers to ‘go after’ any of the ‘bad actors.'”
He described himself as the victim. He alleged Couture, Garramone, and associates “devised a plan” to harm him. He accused them of hiring “social media terrorist,” Joseph A. Camp.
They flew north, he said, and put up flyers in his town for a “swingers party” with Danesh and his wife’s faces on them.
They built websites and wrote untrue things. They bought ads criticizing him. They paid for a billboard that said Doxing is violent with his face beside the word.
Danesh said his wife and child moved away for safety. He said she had PTSD. Their goal, he said, was to make him “homeless, deplatformed, his child placed in foster care, and his wife forced to do immoral acts.”
It was ironic — the same pattern others accused Danesh of had become his defense. There are sites dedicated to the victims of Danesh. And now he was a victim, he said, of a woman and her husband, whom he had attacked, with a misleading video that led to her arrest.
Danesh said Couture, Garramone and Camp ruined his life. Their plan would end only when he was a “broken human skeleton.”
Yet he was a journalist, he said. He fought for people who didn’t have a voice.
He asked the court for $5 million.
The Deposition
April 15, 2025
They met on Zoom. Julian Jackson-Fannin, a lawyer for Garramone and Couture, deposed Hannah Noshirvan, Danesh’s wife.
At the outset, Jackson-Fannin went “over a couple of ground rules” with Hannah, including the “need to make sure that there’s no external influences.”
“Is there anyone in the room with you right now?”
‘No,’ she said.
During the deposition, Jackson-Fannin shared his screen. A photograph appeared—a smiling woman in dark makeup. Across the top, someone had written, “Hannah Noshirvan in Blackface.”
Jackson-Fannin asked, “Is this you?”
“Yes,” she said.
She explained that she had makeup on because she played a ”burnt charcoal-covered zombie.”
“So you don’t harbor any animosity towards African-Americans or black people?”
“No, I do not, and I also take offense at that picture as labeled, ‘Blackface picture.’ That is not blackface.”
“Okay.”
“It’s been taken out of context. You can see I have zombie contact lenses on.
They moved on.
Jackson-Fannin inquired about an explicit picture uploaded to an OnlyFans account with the handle “@thatdaneshguy,” the same social media handle Noshirvan uses on TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, and other platforms.
It was a fair question since Danesh’s complaint alleged he was harmed by Couture and Garramone’s false statements that he and his wife are “swingers.”
Jackson-Fannin asked Hannah whether she was aware that Noshirvan had an OnlyFans account, who was in the picture, whether she and her husband had an open marriage, and other similar questions.
Hannah did not answer.
Jackson-Fannin: Mrs. Noshirvan, please. Mr. Chiappetta, please advise your client that she needs to answer my question.
At that moment, a voice interrupted the proceedings. It was the voice of Danesh off camera.
Danesh: Whoa, I’ll remember this at settlement. I’ll remember this shit at settlement.
Jackson-Fannin: … Is Mr. Noshirvan in the room with you, Mrs. Noshirvan?
Hannah: No. No. He’s not. He was in the hallway.
Jackson-Fannin: Was he there just a moment ago in the room with you?
Hannah: No, no, he was not.
Jackson-Fannin: Well, then what was the voice that we just heard, Mrs. Noshirvan?
Hannah: He’s in the hallway. He’s in the hallway.
Jackson-Fannin: Is the door open, and is he visible from you right now?
Hannah: No. The door was cracked.
Jackson-Fannin: Okay. So then, Mr. Chiappetta, please advise your client to answer my question.
Hannah: Stop, Danesh, stop.
Danesh: Act with decency, motherfucker, and maybe I will. What are you asking her about, you dumb shit? You’re asking her about photos –
Danesh’s lawyer Nick Chiappetta: Danesh, stop.
Danesh: What the fuck is wrong with you?
Chiappetta: Danesh, stop. Walk away.
Danesh: I’m sorry, I hear him from the hallway and I had to come and tell him he’s a fucking misogynistic piece of shit. Fuck you.
Jackson-Fannin: Mr. Chiappetta, would you like to advise your client?
Hannah: I closed the door.
Chiappetta: No, I think your entire line of questioning is inappropriate. This is not a conversation between — that involves the deponent in any which way whatsoever. It’s between two other individuals, and you are just trying to get some type of impression or create a reaction, which you just did, which is fantastic. So I hope that Ms. Couture and Dr. Garramone, who are on this deposition as well, see just how great of a job you’re doing, because, oh, you definitely inspired my client to take this all the way. So, good job, Julian. Let’s move on.
Jackson-Fannin concluded his deposition without further interruptions from Danesh.
AfterMath
The morning after the deposition, Danesh posted on Substack.
“Breaking! Lawyer Julian A. Jackson allegedly stated he cannot tell the difference between BLACK PEOPLE and MONSTERS! Shares Revenge Porn in court!”
He called Jackson-Fannin a “low-class racist” who had “gone on a hyper-racist tangent.” He said Jackson-Fannin “held up a photo of my wife and thought it would be funny to say it was blackface.”
“Do you hate Black people, Julian?”
Danesh added: “Julian cried in deposition that he was going to tell the judge I threatened him after I may or may not have interrupted when I heard his perverted questions and may or may not have called him a ‘fucking pig’ and a ‘misogynist.’ That’s what you call men who share revenge porn. Men need to stand up to men.”
After the article appeared, Jackson-Fannin emailed Chiappetta to say that Danesh had made “patently offensive, false, and defamatory statements.”
Chiappetta replied that Danesh had deleted the post. Then he added: “Your actions in yesterday’s deposition reflect poorly … on yourself… Take responsibility for your actions.”
Within hours, Danesh wrote, “My lawyer says I can restore (the post) now.”
On April 17, Danesh published two Substack posts calling Jackson-Fannin a ‘low-class racist,’ a ‘misogynist,’ and a ‘pig’—claiming he said that “he thinks black people look like monsters.’ On Instagram, Danesh tagged professional groups: ‘This man sexually harassed my wife.’ He told his followers, “Share this everywhere. Thank you.”
Likes came by the thousands. Comments turned violent.
“I’m gonna kill him. Want to come?”
“GET HIM !!!!!!!”
“oh, he’s meat.”
“Time to bring back Real Justice,”
“Sounds like street justice time.”
“You are invited to end this piece of trash,”
“Find him and his wife make the score even but make sure she suffers cause of him and let it be known too.”
Voicemails followed on Jackson-Fannin’s phone and the phones of his law firm, Duane Morris:
“We know where you live… we’re going to sexually harass them… You’re a dirty fucking disgusting pig.”
“Hey Julian, we gotcha. We know where you live, we know who your mother is, we know who your sisters are… any female relative you have, we are going to sexually harass them…
“We’re thinking about it. We’re figuring out who we need to call, what we need to do. But you’re a dirty fucking disgusting pig. You’re a disgrace to all men everywhere. You’re a disgrace to lawyers everywhere… Fuck you, you piece of fucking shit.”
A Clarification
The violent comments poured in, but they felt inauthentic—posted from new accounts using similar phrasing. Then came the voicemails: different voices, but the same scripted threats. Based on available evidence, Frank Report believes Danesh may have created and sent these messages himself, using voice-altering and call-spoofing software. What looked like an enraged mob was, in all likelihood, one man and a machine.
On April 19, Danesh emailed Jackson-Fannin, copying other Duane Morris lawyers. He called him a pig. He asked, “Do you hate brown people just like you hate women, Julian?”
The “voice” in the emails was the same one from the deposition, the same from his Substack—same rhythm, same rage, the same words his bots used.
Chiappetta told Jackson-Fannin he would “advise Danesh to stop emailing you.” He added that “nothing my client said is actionable and there is a factual basis to support certain statements.”
At Jackson-Fannin’s office, Duane Morris heightened security. He made a motion for sanctions, asking the court to order Noshirvan to remove social media posts targeting Jackson-Fannin, to issue a retraction, and instruct his followers to cease harassment and threats. He asked the court to reprimand Chiappetta and “to control his client.” They asked for fees.
When he read it, Chiappetta called the motion “very cute,” and wrote to Jackson-Fannin: “Way to destroy your own reputation… Don’t worry, we will correct all of your false statements.”
On April 23, Danesh posted to Substack.
“I never directed any harassment towards [Jackson-Fannin] and have absolutely no issue saying what I’ve said many times on my platform, which is: I do not support harassment, bullying, or threatening anyone.”
In defense of the motion, Chiappetta argued that Jackson-Fannin forced Hannah Noshirvan to answer private and painful questions. He blamed it on Couture and Garramone.
“[E]very step of the way, information that …has somehow been disseminated without [her] consent,” the filing says. “She endured an ‘onslaught of torture’ at the Defendants’ hands…. She is a true victim here. She lived with major depression, severe anxiety, and CPTSD.”
The Reckoning
August 12
The court issued its decision. U.S. District Judge John E. Steele ruled:
“Noshirvan’s interruption and language at the deposition show subjective bad faith and merits sanctions…
“Noshirvan repeatedly hurled expletives at Jackson-Fannin, even after being told to stop, which establishes that his behavior was intentional and was so egregious that it could only have been committed in bad faith. Such misbehavior at a deposition justifies sanctions.
“If Noshirvan’s wife was being improperly questioned by Jackson-Fannin, the appropriate reaction was to present a motion and seek relief from the Court…
“Noshirvan’s post-deposition communications were not only inflammatory but false and intentionally made to incite followers to engage in foreseeable harassment and intimidation.
“Noshirvan asserted that Jackson-Fannin ‘said that he thinks black people look like monsters…’
The deposition transcript establishes Jackson-Fannin did not say that or anything remotely close. Nor did Jackson-Fannin sexually assault Mrs. Noshirvan, as Noshirvan asserted.
“Noshirvan baselessly called Jackson-Fannin a ‘low-class racist,’ a ‘pig,’ and a ‘misogynist.’
“Noshirvan’s communications are sanctionable because they served no purpose other than to improperly influence the litigation by disrupting the court proceedings and harassing and intimidating opposing counsel….
“For his conduct, Noshirvan will be sanctioned with the imposition of … attorney’s fees and costs in connection with bringing the matter to the Court’s attention. Noshirvan is warned that if he engages in similar conduct in the future, he will be subject to more severe sanctions, which may include dismissal of his case.
“Chiappetta also acted in bad faith when he declined to restrain Noshirvan…
“Chiappetta will be sanctioned with the following public reprimand: Nicholas Chiappetta has failed to meet the professional standards expected from officers of the court in connection with the deposition and its aftermath.”
The Sanctions
As for costs, Duane Morris said it spent $100,000 on lawyers, cybersecurity, and security experts to counter Noshirvan’s attacks and protect Jackson-Fannin from potential violence. Noshirvan told the court he had only $5,000 to his name.
His lawyer now faces a Florida Bar review that could mean a warning, suspension, or even disbarment. He has had to hire legal counsel and spend his own money to defend himself because he failed to control his client.
Danesh faces monetary penalties of up to $100,000 in court-ordered sanctions. If Danesh only has five grand, the court still has its judgment. The debt stays. It collects interest. It waits. If he gets a job, they can take part of his pay. If he opens a bank account, they can seize it. It will go to Couture and Garramone. If he buys a car or a house, Couture and Garramone can slap a lien on it.
He can say he’s broke. The court will say, Fine. You’re broke—but you still owe. He won’t go to jail for being poor. But if he lies, hides assets, or ignores orders, that’s contempt. Then it’s different. But the debt stays until it’s paid.
Danesh faces another kind of accountability. A Denton County grand jury is probing the 2024 suicide of high school coach Aaron De La Torre, a death tied to Danesh’s digital crusades.
The Parable Returns
It is a strange kind of justice — the hunter accused of becoming his own prey. The story has come full circle. In the end, the parable turns. The man who built mobs from mirrors faces one now.
The virtual crowd is gone. Only the judge remains. And in Texas, a grand jury waits.
The story that began small and stupid ends the same way—only this time, the camera points back at him.
The trouble with building mobs is that someday you hear them calling your name. You don’t need to look over your shoulder to know they mean you. You just stop and understand. All the shouting, all the judgment — it was only ever an echo.

[…] narratives, and other potentially unlawful harassment tactics. This is especially relevant as Mr. Noshirvan is currently embroiled in federal defamation lawsuits in Fort Myers, Florida (where multi-million dollar claims are at stake). In fact, a recent court filing in that case […]
Apparently Ralph and Jen’s attorney claimed they incurred $100K in costs filing for sanctions. This was found egregiously fraudulent by the judge who ended up awarding about $8,000 and sanctioning their lawyer for the same amount so Danesh effectively paid nothing. Ralph and Jen were ordered to show payment for these services and it was the sum awarded. They are now facing sanctions and summary judgment on the $5M suit for their fraud.
This comment, impersonating a man who has zero ties to this whole ordeal, has aged very badly. Danesh must pay 60k + in sanctions to Jen and Ralph.
Meet my stalker Courtney Kotzian. I worked with her father at Siemens and was the person he found her engaging in sex with her father. Two days later he took his own life. She blames me for his death.
I love thatDaneshGuy. He helped me get even with my ex. Thanks you, Danesh.
This must be Scott ‘Amway’ Johnson!
How’s tricks?!?
You paying for it in Orleans still?
His name is pronounced Don-ish – not Danesh like the pastry. He is an Iranian American and is not fan of white imperiliasm. He is a good comedian. The story was a little unfair to him. His judgment is pretty good in deciding who should be held to account.
Frank, you must be some kind of looser. Only looser leak messages! I’m done here. You make me sick helping burn PSU and the football program, So long fruit loop
Thanks for addressing this topic of cyber stalking —it’s so important.
I hope u bring them him down that’s what he deserves. Have the police been called? How come he’s not arrested yet? I want him in jail. He should seriously be on the FBI or police watch list.
Danesh has all the signs of a bully. When the judge finally sees through it, this will end badly for that Danesh Guy. Too bad because the guy has some talent. He is just misusing it.
What about all the bad guys Danesh exposed? He is not all bad.
This expose of Danesh has brightened my whole week, maybe my whole month. He is a sadistic human being, Glad Judge Steele caught a whiff of it.
How many followers does Danesh really have? That should be looked into. It is not 2 million.
This is pioneer country. I do not know if we need new laws. We might have the cyber stalking laws in play to protect people from guys like Danesh. When he uses AI to attack people and pretend they are real people that is cyber stalking.
There is such a thing as First Amendment but do Bots have a First Amendment protection?
Danesh is a lolcow on par with Patrick s Tomlinson
As a former follower of Danesh, I truly hope he’s held accountable. Turning real people into villains for entertainment — calling for them to be fired and publicly humiliating them — isn’t activism, it’s cruelty. That kind of behavior should have consequences.
But things go from bad to worse for the boys as they get a massive block in the toilet, and make one heck of a mess trying to fix it….

A person with a revoked license cannot continue to use the title “DO” without penalty, as it would be misleading and illegal. The title “DO” is protected, and continuing to use it after a license has been revoked is a serious offense that misrepresents one’s credentials and ability to practice medicine, which is no longer legal.
Illegal to practice: A revoked license means the individual is no longer authorized to practice medicine in any capacity.
Misrepresentation: Using the title “DO” is an act of misrepresentation because it implies a current, active license to practice medicine, which is no longer true.
Consequences: The individual would face legal penalties for practicing without a license and for misrepresenting their professional status.
A a DO cannot continue to use their title after their license is revoked because the title “Doctor” and “DO” are legally tied to the right to practice medicine, which is contingent on holding a valid, active license. The revocation of their license means they are no longer legally authorized to practice medicine, and using the title in a professional capacity would be an illegal misrepresentation.
The title is tied to the license: A Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (DO) is a fully trained and licensed physician, and the title signifies that they are legally permitted to practice medicine.
Revocation means no right to practice: When a medical license is revoked, the individual loses the legal right to practice medicine and to use the professional title in a way that implies they are a practicing physician.
Individuals whose license to practice as a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (D.O.) has been revoked are permitted to continue using the academic title “Doctor” or the “D.O.” suffix because they have earned the degree for life. However, they are strictly prohibited from practicing medicine or doing anything that would suggest they are currently licensed and authorized to practice.
The key distinction is between the academic degree and the license to practice:
The Degree (D.O. title): The “Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine” is an academic degree earned upon graduation from an accredited medical school, similar to a Ph.D. or an M.D.. This title is earned for life and is not generally revoked unless the degree itself was obtained fraudulently.
The License to Practice: A license is granted by a state medical board and is required for a person to legally practice medicine, prescribe medications, and treat patients. This license is what is suspended or revoked due to professional misconduct, negligence, or other serious offenses.
While they can still use the title in general contexts, they must be careful not to mislead the public into believing they are active, licensed physicians. Implying an active license or attempting to practice medicine without one can lead to criminal prosecution.
The title “DO” is being used illegally by Danielle Roberts.
https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nyed.444408/gov.uscourts.nyed.444408.319.0_3.pdf
An individual whose license to practice as a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine has been revoked may not continue to use this title because the license grants the legal authority to practice and use the professional title. Revocation means that the individual no longer has the legal right to practice medicine or use the title associated with a valid license.
Legal requirement: Practicing without a license is illegal.
Title and license: The professional title is granted and protected by the state’s licensing board. Revocation means that the legal authority to practice and use the title has been removed.
Consequences: Using the title without a license is illegal and could lead to further penalties.
Slightly off-topic:
Daniele is using AI like most Pro Se *attorneys do.
*She isn’t an attorney or a DO.
However, she can still use the title.

Paid Agitators Exposed: TikTok Terror, Fake ‘Doctor’ & Crooked Lawyer Unmasked
October 13, 2025
By Dick LaFontaine with Michael Volpe and Richard LuthmannPodcast Unmasks a Dark Alliance(FORT MYERS, FLORIDA) – An explosive episode of The Unknown Podcast is pulling back the curtain on what hosts Richard Luthmann and Michael Volpe call a coordinated cyber harassment cabal.

Frank,
What do you make of the fact that Norshivan’s lawyer, Chiappetta, allowed himself to get into trouble for his sleezy client? Is it not a big deal that Chiappetta faces a bar review?
I suspect Mr. Chiappetta may be afraid of his client. He is in a jam and it will soon get worse. I hope it works out for him and his client, neither are in a tenable position. Danesh faces arrest in Texas and Chiappetta faces suspension.
Frank, Danesh faces no action in Texas and his lawyer is not facing disbarment. I think you have them confused with Ralph Garramone. There is an evidentiary hearing to revoke his medical license. Apparently he has been SAing some of his patients. One apparently is pregnant.
Posts like his are why I keep coming back to TikTok. It’s rare to find content that’s simple, practical, not full of fluff and so utterly hateful.
I am not a Bot: Danesh’s content never disappoints. Keep up the great work cancelinh people!
I appreciate you Frank. Now drop dead. By the way how genuine your writing feels. Thanks for sharing, you moronic, incompetent boob. We need cancel culture to eliminate all the “frank’s” in the world. Danesh is the woke man’s dream.
Thank you for such a well-written article on this situation. My only complaint is that you sound sympathetic to Noshirvan at the end. This article only scratched the surface of the lives he destroyed.
Danesh is not going to have a very Merry Christmas.
Yeah…I was on Danesh’s side until he tried to incite an online mob against the lawyer by accusing him of racism and sexual assault…talk about seeing the little man behind the curtain. If you would lie and exaggerate in that case, how many lies and exaggerations have you told in past cases just to get the clicks?
[…] NOTE: This piece was first published on FrankReport.com. […]
Danesh is a warrior for justice.
Frank, you are a convicted federal felon who pleaded guilty after claiming for years you would never plead guilty.
But even a cat can write about a king.
Frank, you are a convicted feline felon who played guitar after claiming for years you would never play tune.

Origin
The earliest known use in literary form was in 1562 in a book that was a collection of English proverbs ‘The Proverbs And Epigrams Of John Heywood’. This leads us to believe that the proverb was in use prior to that but there is no known source to prove usage prior to this point. The proverb was further made famous by Oswald Dykes in 1713 in another book which was a collection of proverbs. It was more about moral, political and social reflections. Source: theidioms.com
