And that's our economy guarantee to -- -- somewhat special -- six months but it to eighteen -- won't turn around -- trying to tell you.
It was deep and I turned nearly deadly after Mary -- back men met we'd ride -- through the popular dating service.
After dating and then breaking up with him right -- ambushed her at her house repeatedly stabbing her.
And leaving her for dead take -- advance.
He broke into my garage and when he when the police -- that I was not there to hurt her I was there to kill her.
And -- he is intent was to kill me that night.
How -- survived obviously she is now suing online dating service for ten million dollars.
We are online dating game is a big business so could like this be game changer Jordan announced my.
Attorney mark crack -- no I didn't say that I'm has been what I'm sure it's -- it's okay.
Mark no way you're gonna get Melissa yeah get me in trouble at home with this topic anyway yeah wife's gonna -- she's got to confront me said -- you have match dot com.
Hot but right at my my response is going to be totally -- no I wasn't looking to the stunning girls I was reading the terms of use right in this case is actually true and what did you -- and well I've got it right here -- for my lovely wife yet it's very clear match dot com.
According to common sense and the language right here does not inquire into the backgrounds of its members it doesn't conduct background checks.
It's not liable for any damages whatsoever.
Is so crystal clear.
And for her to think that the CIA and FBI.
Apparently -- match dot com and -- conduct background checks are not only these people and what they have done in the past but what their intentions are in the future.
Is completely illogical.
And illogical but I mean what is the burden of proof on her and because it it seem like.
Appear patent for his service durst and mean it just so I think they're trying to match up with other people -- You would think scene or perhaps ending -- com would you if you're not a murderer.
You expect not these -- you are murder you expect to be set up with another criminal but they're trying to -- -- -- someone -- -- you.
-- know.
Okay two things one it's no different -- opening up the floodgates and letting people -- bars it's just a place that they're offering for people to meet people.
Number one.
And number two she received threatening letters and by the way I feel for her let me get that out -- -- outraged by the -- -- so much I really do she is a victim.
But for -- to turn around.
And clog up the legal system but this frivolous lawsuit.
I'm offended by that and let me just say she got threatening letters from him before he attacked her so at some point she was in the best position to alert authorities to do whatever it took to protect yourself great turnaround -- -- deep pockets match dot com.
Really that's that's taken frivolous to hold yeah.
Or is it -- really Smart strategy because here we are in TV talking about it because it's a lawsuit that's out there.
It is no doubt without question scaring away people.
Who would think about going on any of these sites to meet someone so isn't there are good chance even if it's a frivolous lawsuit that they pay her just to be quiet and -- way.
They should not in fact they should take it all the way and forced her to pay the legal fees of the attorneys who have to defend this lawsuit.
Let me just say this I don't know anything about match dot com I know that they seem -- -- and honest business and their and that is exactly.
And they're now forced to incur costs to defend against this it -- really unfortunate and should be stopped that they pay her out it's gonna set a dangerous precedent for others to line up and -- And they say what happened to Mary -- back -- -- horrible but this lawsuit is absurd than many millions of people found love on match dot com the online dating sites know half of filling it is.
-- it doesn't it what happened in this case any last less off all this is about -- sick twisted individual with no prior criminal record.
And not an entire community of men and women looking to need each other.
Bottom line you say she doesn't have a leg to stand on and you also believe that they won't -- -- -- -- make us stop talking about it.
Absolutely issuance ten million what are they gonna -- five granite -- will be okay they shouldn't they should take it all the way OK market's coming on we appreciate your time thanks.
Thanks Melissa nice to see our.
