A defamation lawsuit filed in an Ohio County Court docket reveals BlackOxygen Organics had a tradition of lies and deception.
In her lawsuit (offered courtesy of Mombie on FaceBook), Plaintiff Louise Harris (proper) claims to be a US citizen residing within the UK.
Harris states she’s an “accredited well being and wellness practitioner based mostly in England”.
Defendant Careyann Muller Zivich is a US citizen and resident of Ohio. Harris’ lawsuit described Zivich as a “biohacker, well being, mindset, and wealth coach.
I is perhaps mistaken however I don’t consider any of these are accredited {qualifications}.
Each Harris and Zivich are former BlackOxygen Organics distributors.
Harris cites Zivich as a distinguished distributor, with direct entry to “huge audiences” by means of “social media teams”.
It’s by means of these teams Harris claims she was defamed.
As recounted in Harris’ lawsuit;
After signing up as a model companion for BlackOxygen, Harris had issues concerning the medical claims asserted by BlackOxygen and the shortage of transparency relating to the elements utilized in its merchandise.
Skeptical of BlackOxygen Organics’ personal commissioned testing, Harris, Zivich and one other distributor ‘commissioned impartial lab exams of (BlackOxygen’s) merchandise.’
The impartial lab exams confirmed the merchandise had been unsafe for human consumption for quite a lot of causes, together with harmful ranges of poisonous heavy metals and an quantity of potassium that might trigger extreme medical issues or demise if taken as beneficial by BlackOxygen.
Harris’ issues started when she ‘expressed her issues to Zivich and the manager management of BlackOxygen’.
Harris requested BlackOxygen to match her testing outcomes to their very own batch testing outcomes and take away unsafe batches from {the marketplace}.
BlackOxygen Founder and CEO Marc Saint-Onge knowledgeable Harris that BlackOxygen didn’t check any of the batches presently available on the market for heavy metals.
Harris then requested BlackOxygen to recall all batches and implement trade commonplace testing protocols transferring ahead.
Saint-Onge knowledgeable Harris that BlackOxygen would take no motion for a number of causes, together with the very fact he was not conscious of any deaths immediately attributable to BlackOxygen merchandise.
Evidently till somebody died, Saint-Onge wasn’t going to voluntarily recall BlackOxygen’s poisonous merchandise.
Because of regulators conducting their very own exams, distribution of BlackOxygen Organics’ merchandise within the US was banned in August. Canada adopted go well with in September.
Saint-Onge ignored the FDA’s ban and continued to illegally distribute BlackOxygen Organics merchandise to US residents.
In November 2021, Saint-Onge abruptly introduced BlackOxygen Organics was shutting down.
This brings us again to Harris’ lawsuit;
Quickly thereafter, Zivich disseminated messages claiming that the corporate was not shutting down, and that Harris orchestrated a hack on the corporate and despatched a false e mail to harm the corporate.
That in fact was nonsense. And Harris places for Zivich knew it.
When Zivich made this false assertion about Harris, Zivich knew that the corporate was actually shutting down as she and different choose model companions had been privately knowledgeable earlier than the e-mail was despatched out.
Regardless of this, on the BlackOxygen Organics webinar discussing the closure (after it had been made public), Zivich denied prior data.
On this webinar, in discussion groups and “subsequent social media posts”, Zivich maintained BlackOxygen Organics shutting down
had nothing to do with security issues and was as a consequence of an extreme variety of “orchestrated” chargebacks, which resulted in BlackOxygen’s bank card processors freezing all of their funds and prohibiting additional transactions.
Naturally with BlackOxygen Organics’ merchandise being banned for distribution throughout its two major markets, orders weren’t being fulfilled.
Perhaps if refunds got shoppers wouldn’t have needed to file chargebacks?
Regardless, even when one accepts Zivich’s unverified declare, BlackOxygen’s closure remains to be attributable to “security issues” (distribution of poisonous merchandise).
In a transfer disturbingly just like BlackOxygen company’s conduct a number of months earlier in opposition to one other distributor, Zivich claimed Harris was ‘personally accountable for the freezing of the corporate’s belongings’.
Harris goes on to claim neither banks or bank card processors shut or froze BlackOxygen Natural’s accounts.
Harris claims Zivich lied about her being accountable to ‘deflect anger from herself and BlackOxygen’s senior leaders’.
Zivich informed a whole bunch of people that had simply been knowledgeable that they’d not be paid earned commissions and had been questioning how they’d pay their mortgages or present for his or her youngsters that Harris was personally chargeable for their losses and they need to “thank” Harris.
In actuality, Zivich had precise data that the closure was associated to the standard of BlackOxygen’s merchandise.
Moreover Zivich claimed Harris
- was “mentally in poor health”;
- had had a “psychological breakdown and was unable to carry out her job duties”;
- wanted to be involuntarily dedicated to a psychological facility;
- stole cash from Zivich to acquire the beforehand referenced impartial BlackOxygen product testing;
- stole BlackOxygen Organics’ property;
- by some means stole management of a 100,000 robust FaceBook group Harris created (and due to this fact already had management of);
- was terminated by BlackOxygen Organics; and
- was planning to launch a BlackOxygen Organics competitor.
Zivich (proper) additionally claimed Harris was a
member of a satanic cult intent on utilizing darkish power to stop the plenty from discovering the magical therapeutic properties of BlackOxygen merchandise.
As a direct and proximate reason behind Zivich’s actions, Harris suffered public ridicule and outrageous harassment, together with pervasive and unironic claims that she is a “demon”, “a undercover agent for the evil FDA,” and that she needed to kill as many youngsters as doable by depriving them of the magical properties of BlackOxygen merchandise, together with its “natural arsenic and lead.”
And if that wasn’t unhealthy sufficient, apparently there’s much more…
(There are) different statements that aren’t reprinted right here however will likely be disclosed underneath seal or in any other case because the Court docket advises.
Harris’ lawsuit in opposition to Zivich was filed on December sixth and alleges defamation.
Zivich’s efforts … (had been) particularly and maliciously calculated to trigger hurt to Harris.
Harris claims Zivich’s actions triggered her to endure ‘on-line bullying, threats, and direct and oblique threats of bodily violence’.
Sadly I’m unable to comply with county lawsuits however I’ll preserve an eye fixed out for any updates as Harris’ case progresses.
On the floor it definitely seems like Zivich has causes of defamation to reply to.
