Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, the Georgia election employees whom a jury just awarded virtually $a hundred and fifty million in their defamation case against Rudy Giuliani, have now filed an additional lawsuit in opposition to the previous New York City mayor for his “repetitive false speech and harassment.” This time, however, they don’t seem to be in the hunt for financial damages (rather then the lawyer’s fees and costs for filing the lawsuit) — they simply want him to eventually shut up.

The mummy-daughter pair of Freeman and Moss were election employees during the 2020 election and had been targeted via former President Donald Trump and his allies who baselessly accused them by name of helping steal the election from him.

In the trial for their defamation lawsuit in opposition to Giuliani — which focused best on the problem of damages after Giuliani conceded key parts of the case and the judge issued a default judgment — both ladies testified concerning the deluge of harassment, racist assaults, and demise threats they acquired after being falsely accused of committing election fraud, including being afraid to use their real names, having to flee their properties, and having to cease their jobs as election workers.

Giuliani used to be defiant in interviews all through the course of the trial, even stunning many with his comments that repeated his false claims that Freeman and Moss “were engaging in altering votes.”

The ladies have now filed a new lawsuit in line with Giuliani “persisting in his defamatory marketing campaign” towards them. The 10-page criticism, which you can read right here, alleges that the man as soon as revered as The us’s Mayor “has engaged in, and is enticing in, a continuing course of repetitive false speech and harassment—specifically, repeating time and again the identical lies that Plaintiffs engaged in election fraud all through their provider as election employees all through the 2020 presidential election.”

From the complaint (emphasis in unique; citations unnoticed):

Defendant Giuliani continues to spread the exact same lies for which he has already been held dependable within the Freeman I action. As an example, on December eleven, 2023, Defendant Giuliani held an impromptu press conference ahead of a bunch of journalists. Standing in front of the cameras, Defendant Giuliani stated that his drawing close testimony would make: “definitively clear that what I said was once proper, and that, no matter took place to them—which is unfortunate about folks overreacting—everything I stated about them is correct.” When asked whether he regretted his moves, Defendant Giuliani stated: “In fact I don’t regret it . . . I instructed the truth. They had been engaged in altering votes.” Ultimately, when a reporter pointed out that there was once “no proof of that,” Defendant Giuliani stated, “You’re rattling right there’s . . . . Stay tuned.”

On December 15, 2023, just hours after the jury in Freeman I lower back a $148 million verdict towards him, Defendant Giuliani appeared from Washington, D.C. for a live interview on Newsmax, through which he again and again asserted, both right away or at minimum via implication, that he used to be in possession of video evidence demonstrating the truth of his allegations in opposition to Plaintiffs.3 Defendant Giuliani defined that he used to be unable to present proof at trial of “all of the movies at the time” showing “what took place on the enviornment.” These statements at minimal falsely implied to the reasonable viewer that Mr. Giuliani possesses video evidence that Ms. Freeman and Ms. Moss engaged in election fraud in Georgia throughout the 2020 Presidential Election.

The criticism goes on to allege motives of motion towards Giuliani for defamation and intentional infliction of emotional distress and seeks as reduction an injunction barring him “from making or publishing, or inflicting to be made or published, further statements repeating any and all false claims that Plaintiffs engaged in election fraud, illegal activity, or misconduct of any type right through or related to the 2020 presidential election; that either Plaintiff was once arrested for the sort of fraud, illegal activity, or misconduct; and/or that either Plaintiff had any document of engaging in election fraud or associated criminality or misconduct previous to the 2020 presidential election,” plus legal professional’s fees and costs.

“Defendant Giuliani’s statements, coupled together with his refusal to comply with chorus from continuing to make such statements, clarify that he intends to persist in his marketing campaign of focused defamation and harassment,” the complaint argues. “It must stop. In these unique cases, the proper remedy is a focused injunction barring Defendant Giuliani from persevering with to repeat the very falsehoods about Plaintiffs which have already been found and held, conclusively, to be defamatory.”
