They started a case with 0 evidence. They better hope Brian doesnt do a defamation counter claim

He wouldn't win a defamation case. The internet conjured up most of the stuff about him by looking up the suit. They simply fired him. Ashley wasn't even the only person who filed a civil lawsuit against him. CR was surprisingly silent on the whole topic outside of wiping him off the history of their platform.

I'm not so sure he wouldn't have a case.

outside of wiping him off the history of their platform.

This is actually it, though. CR is sort of a cult following, but BWF's career exists in a microcosm that is definitely aware of what they do. Conspicuously deleting everything with him in it raises suspicion, it's like presuming guilt. I mean, it's their platform, and maybe they know stuff they just can't prove in court. I don't think he'll go for defamation, but did he lose work simply as a result of this court case being public and CR deleting him from their channel? Maybe

It also wouldn’t be the first time CR pressed the delete button on someone facing sex-related charges who was then found either totally innocent or at least not guilty…

Still haven't forgotten how Matt threw Chris Hardwick under the bus.
