Former Victoria’s Secret model Nina Agdal has filed a lawsuit against MMA fighter Dillon Danis after he allegedly posted intimate photos of her online without consent. As Danis prepares to face Agdal’s fiancé, YouTube star Logan Paul, in an October 14 boxing match, the situation has become increasingly messy and litigious.
Background of the Feud
Logan Paul and Dillon Danis have had an ongoing rivalry for years, trading insults back and forth online and in press events leading up to the fight. As the trash talk has escalated, Danis has started targeting Paul’s fiancée Nina Agdal as a way to get under Paul’s skin.
Agdal alleges that since the fight was announced, Danis has posted “despicable” messages about her more than 250 times on social media. This includes posting a sexually explicit video from over 10 years ago where Agdal discusses her sex life.
The Offending Post
The lawsuit centres around an August 11 post where Danis allegedly shared intimate images of Agdal without her consent. Agdal claims the post contained uncensored, sexually explicit photos of her taken from a past romantic encounter.
She argues this violates both federal and state laws prohibiting the nonconsensual sharing of intimate images. The post was shared from Danis’ account on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter).
Agdal’s Legal Action
In response to the August 11 post and Danis’ repeated targeting of her, Agdal took legal action:
- She filed a lawsuit against Danis in New Jersey.
- Agdal also applied for a restraining order to prevent Danis from posting further sexual or explicit content about her without consent.
- The lawsuit alleges Danis caused emotional distress, reputational harm, and violated revenge porn laws.
- Agdal is seeking over $150,000 for each violation of federal law, as well as potential prison time for Danis.
Danis’ Defense
Danis responded to the lawsuit and allegations on social media, saying he cannot comment much at this time due to the legal situation. However, he continued to insult Agdal, referring to her as “Karen Agdal.”
According to Agdal, the organizers of the Danis vs Paul match threatened to cancel the fight if Danis did not remove the sexually explicit posts about her. But Danis remains defiant, writing “come get me” regarding potential prison time.
What Happens Next?
A court hearing on the restraining order against Danis is scheduled for September 12 in New Jersey. Paul has stated the incidents have only made his relationship with Agdal stronger.
However, the bitter feud between Paul and Danis continues to escalate. The messy legal battle has added fuel to their beef and brought extra intensity to the lead-up of their October 14 fight.
All eyes will be on the New Jersey court as they consider Agdal’s requests for a restraining order and damages from Danis. The ruling could end up impacting whether the Paul vs Danis boxing match goes forward as planned.
