How I Feel About KL Polish… Honest Review
Before I start this video before I start saying anything in this video, I just want to read something to you guys Um, I just want to read something that is the law Just in case there is anyone out there who might need a reminder of this a statement That is merely someone's opinion is not defamatory Unless it was presented as if it were fact if someone writes it seems to me that John Smith is a crooked politician That most likely is a protected opinion if the statement is John Smith is a crooked politician And it is not a true statement that may be defamatory for sure. It is a fine distinction to bear in mind But an important one to prevail on a defamation claim you must first prove that the statement was false if the statement is true however no matter how unflattering it may be your claim will be barred because truth is an Absolute defense to a defamation action. Just wanted to say that just wanted to put that out there for anyone who's watching Let me start off by saying that if you're here thinking that I'm gonna spill the tea Or I'm gonna drag somebody or this is gonna be this crazy dramatic gossipy video That's not what this video is I just feel like it's time to tell you guys how I really feel the things that I can tell you I know I promised you guys an explanation further down the road.
