    How to Lose Friends and Manifest Legal Trouble: Amanda Frances

    Legal Team, we’re back in Beverly Hills with more research into Amanda Frances. From questionable cease-and-desist letters allegedly sent to Redditors leaving reviews, to a failed federal lawsuit over the “look and feel” of another woman’s finance book. In this episode, we break down the consumer rights issues, the limits of non-disparagement clauses for people leaving honest reviews, and why Amanda’s attempt to claim ownership over “As F**k” and bathtub-money vibes didn’t exactly impress a federal judge. Spoiler: manifestation doesn’t work on trade dress law.    What’s on the Docket?   The cease and desist letters Amanda’s team sent to online critics  How the Consumer Review Fairness Act protects online reviews Amanda’s federal lawsuit claiming another author copied her book’s “look and feel”  What trade dress actually means   Why the judge denied Amanda’s request to pull an allegedly competing book from shelves   Access additional content and our Patreon here: ⁠https://zez.am/thebravodocket⁠   The Bravo Docket podcast, the statements we make whether in our own media or elsewhere, and any content we post are for entertainment purposes only and do not provide legal advice.
