The lawsuit maintains these have always been respectful exchanges, but that 'Two weeks ago, Defendant used 'bots' to post racist and threatening messages targeting Ms. Beauvais' fourteen-year-old son,' and referred to the person behind the campaign as 'morally bankrupt.'
The Neuro drinks founder contends that some of these bots have thousands of followers and that the posts have not only damaged her career, but have lead to threats against her and her family.
After the attacks began in August, Garcelle posted on social media writing, 'I'm usually a very strong woman.
