Also, making $60k bumped up to $80k/year was bananas! She was hampering Open Stories Foundation’s product with her obviously unprepared co-hosting appearances. Crazy.
Someone tell Dehlin I'll cry for half that.

And Dehlin wants to sue her?
I think the case is related to her unsubstantiated claims in a youtube video regarding John Dehlin.

She filed against John Dehlin first, and made a video about all of this. John Dehlin then counter-claimed. RFM beautifully reads the counter-claim and that's where all the negative stuff comes out against John Dehlin.
Both sides will likely spend a lot of money on filings until they realize it ends up going nowhere and just give up.

She stated that she had already spent $20,000, and that was before filing her latest claim, which she is doing without legal assistance.

Her claim sounds very anecdotal. We need hard evidence.

JD will just dip into the Open Stories Foundation coffers. His reputation is probably what worries him most. His claim seems to be largely evidence based.

Open Stories can prove harm based on slander.

Wonder if the More Good Foundation might help with her legal bills. Time to call Kirton McConkie.

He needs hard evidence, not just a narrative. There's a couple screenshots in the document, and a ton of speculation and assertions without evidence to back them up. A good judge will skip over the assertions and go straight to the evidence.

If it's just he said/she said, that shouldn't be enough to convince an unbiased judge of anything.

Having the only exhibit being a link to a youtube video is incredibly weaksauce and lazy on the part of Dehlin's lawyers.

There is a video where she makes allegations against JD and Open Stories Foundation.

Today RFM released a video of a meeting between JD, Jenn Kamp and two members of Open Stories Foundation board. What Jenn says happened and what appears to happen in the video seem quite different. There is more harmony in the different first vision accounts than the events that Jenn Kamp describes and the actual video.

I think she might be toast. Someone should try and talk her down. Whether JD is guilty of anything or not, Jenn Kamp seems to have made some clearly unsubstantiated claims that can proven to be false, and she won't win.

I absolutely agree her case won't win, but I would be surprised if John's countersuit wins. Most likely both get dropped and they stop this pointless fight.

Youtubers do this to each other all the time, and judges aren't pushovers.

I wish them all the best. If this explodes more into battles unbecoming of us all, I'll be eating some popcorn, perhaps. I can't understand why he'd try to resurrect this after her lawsuit seemed to have died. "Now that everyone's forgotten about it and moved on, let's see if we can bring this crap back up and clear my name...."

Seems about as smart a move as hiring her in the first place, then apparently giving her raises after she failed to do her work and stole money. "What's that you say? She stole money from the company and hasn't done anything for weeks? Well that's the type of moxy we need around here. Let's give her a 33% raise."

Did you listen to RFM's latest vlog about the lawsuit?

I was compelled. I found Jenn Kamp's accusatory video quite troubling at first, and then when I listened to RFM's reading of the counter-claim, everything seemed so much more clear. Then with the release of the Open Stories Foundation meeting, it seems quite clear that her claims are unreliable to say the least.

JDs case seems to be evidence based. JKs was very anecdotal. She is now handling her claim without a lawyer.
