Chad Threatened With Defamation Lawsuit Over GoFundMe Money Dispute
A heated on-air confrontation saw Chad accused of lying about his GoFundMe funds, with one caller threatening a defamation lawsuit and comparing it to legal action against Stuttering John.
A volatile exchange erupted on air when a caller confronted Chad about his GoFundMe money, repeatedly accusing him of lying and threatening legal action. "I'm going to sue you for defamation cuz you're lying. Just like you're going to be stuttering John. I'm going to sue you for defamation like you're doing stuttering John," the caller declared, referencing an ongoing or prior legal dispute involving Stuttering John. The confrontation escalated when Chad offered to show proof of his finances, even giving out his email address (Aumia me.com) on air. The accuser demanded Chad go on record confirming he still has all the GoFundMe money, suggesting Chad's reputation as a "thief and a liar" makes people skeptical. "You are known as a thief and a liar. So if you gather money from people for a special, it will be assumed by a lot of people that you're not going to use it for what you say you're going to use it for," the caller stated. The argument took a personal turn when another participant from Charlotte, North Carolina mocked Chad's financial situation, boasting about owning a 3,000-square-foot home and a paid-off $70,000 truck. "You live in a 500-foot apartment. Let's not talk about pay rates," he said, adding: "You're 51 years old. You should have a retirement plan. You have no savings."
