RE: CEASE AND DESIST - DEFAMATION, RETALIATION, AND UNLAWFUL INTERFERENCE
Dear Ms. Greenwald,
This letter serves as a formal demand that you immediately CEASE AND DESIST any and all defamatory statements, retaliatory actions, and coercive behaviors directed toward Vegas Stattione.
1. Notice of Defamation and Slander
It has come to our attention that you have engaged in a pattern of character assassination and the dissemination of false information regarding Vegas Stattione. Under Ohio law, these actions constitute defamation and slander per se. You are hereby notified that your continuous attempts to damage the reputation of Vegas Stattione through negative and false narratives have been documented by numerous third parties.
1. Evidence of Dishonesty and Misrepresentation
We have concrete evidence of ongoing deception regarding your professional presence and activities. On April 29, 2026, witnesses observed you, along with a bartender and a cook, entering the building. Despite your physical presence:
At 1:33 PM, a caller requested to speak with you, and you personally claimed you were not there.
At 1:46 PM, a second call was placed where a male employee again falsely stated you were unavailable and instructed the caller to contact you the following day at 10:30 AM.
These documented instances of lying--and requiring your employees to lie on your behalf--further demonstrate a pattern of bad faith.
1. Employee Coercion and Retaliatory Tactics
We are in possession of information regarding anonymous letters sent by employees who state they are acting under Threat, Duress, and Coercion (TDC). These employees have expressed that their livelihoods have been threatened, and their jobs placed in jeopardy, should they choose to communicate or cooperate with Vegas Stattione.
Furthermore, the retaliatory tactics you have employed following the initial notice are unacceptable and legally actionable. Your attempts to weaponize your staff and create a hostile environment constitute a direct interference with business relations.
1. Notice of Fiduciary Relationship
Be advised that an East Side Civics Notice of Fiduciary Relationship has been officially filed. This is an ongoing legal matter. Please be aware that this fiduciary relationship is binding and can only be revoked by Vegas Stattione in writing. Any attempts to circumvent this filing or act outside of these established bounds will be met with immediate legal escalation.
DEMAND
You are hereby instructed to:
1.Immediately cease all verbal and written communication that disparages Vegas Stattione.
2.Stop all retaliatory actions against Vegas Stattione and any associated parties.
3.Cease the coercion of employees and the requirement for staff to provide false information regarding your whereabouts or business dealings.
Failure to comply with this notice effective immediately will result in further legal action, including but not limited to, a lawsuit for defamation, slander, and intentional interference with business relations. We will seek all available damages, legal fees, and injunctive relief.
Governing yourself accordingly,
VS
