Even if she would absolutely lose in court or her case would get dismissed, Yael understandably doesn't want to deal with the nuisance, headache and expense of defending a legal battle.

This is straight up bullying behavior. Exploding anger

Ugghh. Uggh. Ugh. I am unable to wrap my brain around this.

Tanya BLACKMAILED Yael.
She can be dragged to court. Not you.

This is plain old fashioned blackmailing.

Not blackmail, but yes bullying and very upsetting.

No, blackmailing would be threatening to tell the world or the police that Yael committed some social or actual crime. eg robbed her local bank or didn't put her toddler in a carseat. Or wore shlumpy clothes and overate on shabbos. Yael doesn't want anyone to know her guilty secret so listens to Tanya and does what she wants.

Threatening - I will take you to court or harm you in some other way if you don't do what I say.

I take issue with your post.
Do you pay a monthly membership to Yael?

Either the lady in question or her lawyers are on this site, so I'll address this to them:

Read up about the Streisand Effect. I've even helpfully included a link. You're welcome.

Well, this was definitely good motivation to unfollow them on Instagram. I was pretty neutral before. This is just ridiculous. All the more reason to cease considering using them.

This has been debated for the past few years about the rights of people to complain on social media about a product or service. From what I read, a reviewer cannot be sued for simply stating an opinion such as "I don't like the flavor of the muffins" or something similar (just an example because I never tasted the muffins).

They can be sued, however, if false factual information was given such as saying something factually false about the quality of the muffins such as saying that they were made in China and imported.

On most social media threads, there could be a mixture of both, expressions of opinion with nothing factual stated, and false factual information.

Any lawyers out there who can explain how this works?

Yael , this is ridiculous. I'm sorry you got caught up in it.

And now I want to publicize this thread so that everyone sees it Twisted Evil

It's not negative information about Tanya, only facts, right?

Continue bumping it up, people!

How does this differ than Yelp, let's say, or trip advisor? Or even Amazon! Where negative reviews are the norm.
This is so pathetic.
Tanya, that was an even worse move on your part, and you just lost another supporter. FAIL.

It can either be an opinion or a true statement such as "I could no longer afford it" and then nobody could be sued. Saying that it causes eating disorders could get someone sued because now they need absolute proof that this diet approach has a track record for causing eating disorders in individuals who were previously free of those disorders. That person could legally say, that they used those tips to lose weight when they were not supposed to be losing weight and that doesn't reflect negatively on the company.

"this" is someone sending a cease and desist letter. They aren't unusual or uncommon.

I think a fair argument can be made that the statement, a particular diet causes eating disorders, was intended as a personal opinion, not medical advice, given the context in which it was made.

I wonder what impact it would have if we all unfollow all her social media accounts today.
Shall we try?

No impact at all. She has over 50k followers.
