Pierre Woodman Hires Dr Korom Klaudia To Sue Me

Woodman didn't like the films about him, so he hired a lawyer. Here's what happened in the Hungarian courts.

Pierre Woodman did not care for the films I made about him, so he hired a Hungarian lawyer called Dr Korom Klaudia and started a defamation case against me.

This one is shorter than most of my films because it is basically me showing my working. I go through the circumstances of the case, which are odd enough to be worth laying out on their own, and I make the observation that Woodman's own lawyer does not appear to be especially proud of the client.

There is a second legal claim in here as well, from Kiara Lord's lawyers Dr Szedo Peter and Dr Tamas Doma. I have a bit of fun with that one.

I am putting this up partly because it is useful for other people to see. If you report on this industry you will get a letter at some point, and it helps to know what one actually looks like and what happens after it arrives.
