How Not To Send a Cease & Desist Letter

By Sandra Rose  | 

As I've told you bloggers in the past, receiving a Cease & Desist/take down order via email is not legal unless a physical copy is also sent via certified mail.

Most celebrities and their high powered legal mouth pieces think you don't know that. So they'll try you in the hope that the email by itself will be sufficient enough to scare you into taking the post down fast.

Celebrities with substantial personal wealth at their disposal arrogantly believe that most bloggers are broke and we don't know our rights. Celebrities think money is power when, in reality, it is not. Knowledge is power, and without it you are defenseless.

Fuh-Nee.

    Sandra, I am going to do a slow round of applause for you because although I am not sure of your intentions, but just like that you educated your readers, and I thank you for educating me as well.

  • M3z

    LMAO! Well alright...I guess they will have to follow-up with your law school 101 course. I'm sure they are expediting the real letter as we speak

  • Daisy

    Truth is a defense (or generally a complete bar to recovery by any plaintiff)to a libel suit.

    :cheer1: Go Sandra!

    Diddy and his attorneys need to go sat they TIRED asses down somewhere. Aint nobody even checking for him like that anymore.

    WOW! Im shocked that he would even take the time to reply. Momma always said the best way to disprove a lie or an attack on your character is to just continue to be you and the truth will show itself. Something must have hit a little too close for Puff's liking.

  • Jamillah

    Sandra, I admire your willingness to tell it like it is. And Diddy shouldn't be bothered by what you posted because its been said over and over again all over the internet. You'd have to be living under a rock to not know that Diddy is a butt-buster.

  • Ebony

    I :heart: that Daisy is so positive

  • pointhimout

    Sandra, i'm nervous over here..."acting in concert with" are they referring to us posters too? gtfoh.

    puff, stop it. y does he care what lil ole sandra rose is posting? for all we know she made a mistake and posted the wrong picture and her computer froze and couldnt remove that one. Sh!t happens.

    Did Dallas' people send one too? I guess not. Ive suddenly taken an interest in one mr. austin. post of his alleged appetite did not influence this. stay tuned.

  • pointhimout

    also, the post never said they have a thing for men...never flat out said either were homosexual it actually gave them attn for bedding chicks too--bisexual. i'm no lawyer or atty by any means, but did anyone see 'slander' in that letter anywhere, if none of this is true about the subject? they're merely demanding she take down what she posted.

    sometimes, you just shouldn't say anything unless without a shadow of a doubt you can say 'sr is slandering me and making up bs.'

    sandra, can you respond back and ask, for the record, you're implying he's bisexual?

  • pointhimout

    ***thing for men ONLY***sorry.

  • http://charactercorner.blogspot.com attorneymom

    Slander = spoken lies

    Libel = written lies

    :-)

  • pointhimout

    see, told you i wasn't a lawyer.

  • Man, I just don’t care™

    Is this real? The letter refers to their "client" as "Sean 'Puffy' Combs." I thought Mr. Combs no longer went by the "Puffy" moniker.

    I'm skeptical about this....

  • winenroses

    If this letter is real then good for Sean John. Even though it's a gossip blog people should still be held accountable for what they write or even insinuate about another person, famous or not. I was expecting something like this from an article I read a few days ago on another blog stating 50 Cent is gay. I hope 50 sues their asses as well.

  • http://twitter.com/mrs_truth ms.truth

    So I have to break out the :popcorn: on a Saturday?

    BTW Puffy, P.Diddy, Diddy, P. Mouthbreater or whatever you call yourself these days, get over yourself, please. :rolleyes:

  • chase

    Leave Daisy alone, we need her positivity on here....

    Puff is funny....

    SMH @ how celebrities/rich folk think those not as fortunate as they are, are dumber than they are... Like you said KNOWLEDGE IS POWER....

  • ATLk

    @Sandra You will soon need to hire security, because you are stepping on some big time toes here lately. 'He Twitty' is not one to be played with.

    Question: If a man is always asking for anal sex from a female (when the vagina is in perfect working order and has superb elasticity), should one assume that this man has down-low tendencies?

    Another Question: If a woman allows a man to continuously allows a man to invade her anal cavity, what does that make her?

  • ATLk

    Sorry for the typo in the 2nd question...hope you can still understand the question.

  • SugarPieHoneybunn

    @ ATLk: YIKES!!! LOL

  • Daisy

    I would say I am not on team SandraRose or some other SR fam posters but ya'll are not celebs and I wouldnt want to be banned :coffee:

    Still team Puffy ..thought I told yall we wont stop thought I told yall we wont STOP POW :cheer:

    Sandra, I hope if they do take you to court that you are able back up all that stuff you posted on your site about Diddy. Mind you, that's the only way he gonna shut up and go away. I would have done a rebuttal and posted the link and pics to back up comments I made about him. Then his attoneys would go away really fast. I hope you have money to fight him in court if they do proceed.

    That "Diddy" nickname is for the public and media. His friends and family call him Puffy or Puff.

    @Sandra, ATLk is asking the same questions that I have. When will we get that medical post on the health risks of anal sex?

  • ShoYaRight

    HIT DOGS HOLLAR!!!

    Diddy, we know you gay. Let's ask Usher (on his VH1 special, I remember them talking about you mentoring him when he was a teenager and him staying with you for a summer and you exposing him to ALL types of hoe-shyt read-bisexuality.) Lets ask Mase how you turned him out! He fled from you and turned his life over to Christ! Let's ask Wendy Williams who had those pictures of you and spoke about it on her radio show. You had her exiled from New York radio...but she's back! You can't keep a good bish downe!!!! Let's ask Superhead! She spilled the tea on you taking her and Xzibit to a gay club. You thought they would be down, but they left you there in your element!!!

    We know you like men. You have been very careful and cautious but your closet is so full with skeletons, some are bound to fall out every now and then.

  • pointhimout

    oh yeah i do remember hearing xibit talk about that on some radio show. that was funny. puff is international, a mega star. he is, an ICON. stop laughing.

    Would it be damaging if he just admitted he like the good stuff, ya know that boy booty? he doesn't strike me as the top, surprisingly. usually those in power wanna be chained down, choked and slapped around, balls squeezed and kicked. again, the good stuff.

    any updates on dallas? he so slim. tv adds 10 lbs, so that means he's even skinnier than i'm imagining.

  • SoulWithSass

    I don't know why, but this sentence:

    "For the record, Mr. Combs is not homosexual."

    Made me laugh till I cried. His lawyer sound like one of his play-cousins defending him in a fight on a playground. "Just so you know, B*TCH, Diddy aint no homo! But YOUR blogging a** is!!!!! Now take that, take that- eh, eh!"

    Lmao! Boy, bye! Diddy must not know....him being gay is the LEAST horrible of the unsavory sh*t said about him.

  • maggie012205

    Sandra,
    Bravo for not backing down. A lawyer's WORST nightmare is an opponent who knows the rules BETTER than they do. Libel and defamation claims are VERY hard to pursue so they probably just wanted to scare you.
    If Diddy wants to try and make an example out of you, i'm sure you'll be fine :yes:

  • ShoYaRight

    Oh yes attymom, I was trying to remember mark curry's name because he dished the dirt on Diddy too!!! This is a man that worked with diddy for years and knows a lot. Thanks for both links!!!

    Diddy ain't fooling a soul.

  • http://myspace.com/necee518 yvonne79

    Aw, snap!!! :popcorn:

  • Ashley

    Ummm. Im sorry :shrug: but Puffy cant even get mad @ you. How many people have come out & stated he was :gay: .
    LOL.

  • pointhimout

    clutch the pearls @ the links. i knew about the xzibit one, but mark curry (i thought the comedian at first) is new to me. :popcorn:

    "for the record, he's not homosexual." that leaves so many doors opened, or at least a can of worms.

  • http://charactercorner.blogspot.com attorneymom

    Puffy/Diddy/P Diddy/Sean Combs' attorney need to do his homework. I am certain the correspondence cost Mr. Combs approximately $3,000.00 in billable hours from his attorney. I am certain Mr. Shapiro did not want to send the letter.

    Let’s face it, it is 2010, not the early 90s. Who gives a ratz a** about his sexuality? The only people that should be concerned about his sexuality are his jumpoffs- i.e., the folks he is fornicating with.

    In closing, I just want him to stop singing and being all in the videos and on the records. #Iamjustsayin

  • Nightshift

    Puffy was stupid to even follow that mess up. Actually, I forgotten about the previou "him so gay" post. The post was not amazing, heart stopping or pearl-clutching. It was typical. SR calls everybody gay, proof or not, so why care enough to have a letter sent? SMH.

    i gotta agree w/you here. i mean, are these just stock letters they send out to every blog with p diddy's pic on it? it's a blind item, it's a rumor that's been out there forever, and sandra isn't the first to insinuate it. taking time (and money) out to do this is what makes me wonder about him more than sandra simply putting up one of her "loyal reader" rumors.

    ___________________________________________________________

    Point well taken. Many men who engage in male-to-male sex do not consider themselves homosexual, gay or bi. The CDC and many outreach agencies has acknowledged this as well.
