Live Q&A with Stacy Slotnick, Esq. (March 19 10 am ET) “Legality of Online Impersonation: Meri Brown Catfish Scandal” [Details Enclosed]
Since All About the Tea broke the catfish scandal that rocked TLC’s Sister Wives, last September, many questions remain unanswered.
Readers have expressed a desire to understand the seemingly gray area of how legal consequences play into online impersonation. The saga of the online catfish and the love-starved polygamist reality star, is a complicated story that demands a sharp legal eye, to unravel the continued fallout.
We are excited to announce that we are offering an EXCLUSIVE opportunity to have all of your legal questions answered by our resident Attorney, Stacy Slotnick, Esq. Please join us on Saturday, March 19 at 10:00 a.m ET for a Q&A on “Legality of Online Impersonation: Sister Wives Meri Brown Catfish Scandal.”

“Samuel Cooper” aka Jacqueline Overton, continues unscathed, after tricking Meri Brown into a passionate six-month love affair, last year. “Sam” backed up his written account of the affair with scandalous voicemails, and quasi-sexy photos sent by Brown. Meri confessed to the online affair, but has remained stifled about the person who stole her heart. “Samuel Cooper” has not been silenced, and has even published an e-book, Almost Meri’ed, now being offered on Amazon.
Stacy’s EXCLUSIVE Q&A will cover exactly what crimes fall under the heading of “catfishing,” and the legal language that different states use, to determine if a crime has taken place. How does the misuse of social media technology collide with the law, and how do hidden identities complicate and play into the already puzzling game?
Be here tomorrow (Sat, Mar 19), to read Stacy’s exclusive, in-depth legal analysis, and get your questions answered by the legal eagle herself!
