Battling “e-venge”: The Sue Scheff Podcast Report

Parent advocate, Sue Scheff™, was recently featured on i-Caught in an ABC News sponsored podcast, as well as the Mike and Juliet Morning Show, which is broadcast from Fox studios. Both productions feature segments on internet defamation and slander, and discuss the incredible ordeal Sue Scheff experienced when faced with vicious online attacks from a disgruntled parent seeking revenge. The media has notoriously dubbed this: e-venge.

Podcasts – i-Caught

The i-Caught podcast discusses the issue of e-venge, which refers to acts of revenge played out through the internet. The danger of e-venge is that it can be accomplished quickly and easily by anyone with a computer, but the ramifications can destroy victims’ lives.

Web sites like dontdatehimgirl.com provide forums for this new brand of revenge. Dontdatehimgirl.com allows users to post pictures and incriminating details about men they have encountered, and spreads these accusations over the internet. However, there is no real way to prove the authenticity of these vicious claims, which means simple gossip can easily spread to the computer screens of millions of internet users and effectively destroy the reputation of men named on the site. Dontdatehimgirl.com is only one of countless different avenues where slander can take place, as i-Caught special guest Sue Scheff™ would soon illustrate.

As a nationally recognized parent advocate and founder of P.U.R.E™, an organization designed to help parents with their troubled teens, Sue Scheff seemed above the horrors of e-venge. However, she would eventually fall prey to a dramatic form of internet slander, as a disgruntled parent began attacking her with disgusting lies and distasteful comments over various internet postings.

The ferocity of these attacks ruined Sue Scheff™’s digital reputation, forcing her into isolation for fear of people finding out about the comments circulating about her on the internet. The misleading series of attacks began to escalate from mere gossip, to falsely claiming the death of Sue Scheff™’s daughter. When Sue Scheff™ was faced with lies about her daughter’s death, she realized it was time to contact a company named Reputation Defender.

Reputation Defender helped clear Sue Scheff™’s online reputation, and effectively handled the lies circulating about her on the internet. Sue Scheff™ also took the attacker’s to court, and won an important law suit against them. The actions of Sue Scheff illustrate the need for accountability on the internet, because people are able to create posts without any proof or accountability, which creates a breeding ground of hate and lies. Sue Scheff was able to battle this slander, but it still remains a problem for countless people around the world.

Sue Scheff™’s i-Caught battle story effectively conveyed this warning; stop and think before posting vicious lies on the web.

Even though Sue Scheff™ worked as a parent advocate for Parent’s Universal Resource Experts, a former client became angered by her and started spreading horrendous gossip on the internet. Those rumors started to spread like wildfire and ravaged her life.

She was able to clear her name and battle the slander. Sue Scheff™ also won a lawsuit against the defamation, proving that there can be ramifications for internet slander.
