    I can say Katie Johnson might not be real because if you had read the article I linked to, you would know that Norm Lubow is the person who actually filed the lawsuit, not Katie Johnson.

    Norm Lubow was also pretending to be someone named Al Taylor, who was also aggressively pushing the accusation with journalist.

    Even Radar Online, which is linked in the post here is a known gossip site that didn’t believe Katie Johnson story to be credible either.

    The gossip site Radar Online published a short story on April 28, 2016, noting the filing, but even it was skeptical, highlighting the fact that the person filing the claim had given apparently bogus contact information, using the address of a foreclosed house whose owner had recently died.

      How does that work, filing a lawsuit on someone’s behalf, without the court being able to even verify their existence? That doesn’t make too much sense to me. She would have testify, no? It seems otherwise that’d be a pretty glaring issue with the justice system, if you can just make up people to represent without identifying them?

        She would have to testify and the courts couldn’t reach her so the case was dropped. The filer gave a fake address.

        Read the article, my dude.
