Michelle Perez is out of control again
The latest spat involved Perez wishing for Meyer’s death via IED, and then making libelous statements about Meyer’s personal life in hopes of defaming his character. A capture of the comments can be viewed on imgur, which were originally published on March 23rd, 2018.Perez's page was suspended by Twitter, but he appears to have set up a second account, where for all we know, he could be up to his antics again. Unfortunately, when Erik Larsen was confronted about this for the second time, he still refused to take any steps to get Perez to cut it out:
On March 24th, 2018 Perez tweeted out corrections by adding “allegedly” to the defamatory comments, which consisted of accusing Meyer of domestic abuse and being dishonorably discharged from his military service.
In an exchange with Meyer on Twitter, Perez was requested to delete the libelous and defamatory tweets under threat of being sued. An archive of the tweets were also captured on imgur.
It'a all about false equivalencies--it's not about common sense.— Erik Larsen (@ErikJLarsen) March 25, 2018
"Image should apologize because somebody that does a book there said something I don't like to somebody in some forum somewhere."
Pointless and stupid.
Well, he's obviously no help. When it comes to his own company, that's when he becomes jelly-kneed, and shows no ability to lead. But then, he never really did, despite commenting on challenging subjects at times.
Maybe what really needs to be done is contact another Image manager like Eric Stephenson and see if he's willing to give a straightforward address about the issue at hand. Perez's horrible comments are bound to cause them serious sales harm sooner or later, and somebody's bound to wonder if they deserve it for the hard-left lurch they've taken in the past several years, regardless of any better books they're selling.
The best thing to do for now is call the police/FBI and file a lawsuit against Perez for making threats and defamatory comments against the law. Legal action can help send a message to an industry that needs some moral lessons if it's to keep going.
