What would you do if your ex made a video about you on their YouTube channel, claiming you were emotionally abusive? For this man, the answer was to sue his ex for defamation.

Was this revenge justified, or did he go too far? Some friends thought he should have just taken the court win and moved on. But what if your reputation was on the line? Was he the a**hole for going after his ex’s lies?
