with either Dirty World Entertainment Recordings, LLC, or www.thedirt.com.1 Nevertheless,
the lawsuit sparked national media attention, which precipitated further postings on
www.TheDirty.com regarding Jones.
For instance, on December 29, a visitor submitted a photograph and the following post:
THE DIRTY ARMY: Nik, i just saw the Huffington Post and I just [sic] the latest
post on beat Bang-GALS cheer squad and back in May I was out clubbing in
Cinci and those cheer chicks were hosting the club and i could not believe how
ugly they were, here is some pics of them from that night.
Richie added:
I think they all need to be kicked off and the Cincinnati Bengals should start over.
Note to self: Never try to battle the DIRTY ARMY. – nik
Also, on December 29, 2009, a visitor to the website published two photographs and the
following post:
THE DIRTY ARMY: Nik since the Bengals organization loves you so much i
decided to submit some pics from a recent cheerleader calendar release party I
went to, to show how beat there squad is with out make up and being half naked.
Reality is their cheerleaders are FUGLY and the whole NFL thinks they are beat.
Richie added:
I love how the DIRTY ARMY has a war mentality. . . why go after one ugly
cheerleader when you can go after all the brown baggers. (Sorry Cleveland
Browns that was not a stab at your girls.) – nik
On January 9, 2010, the October 27, 2009, submission was reposted after Richie added an
additional comment, which specifically related to the 2009 NFL playoffs. After the litigation
commenced, Richie posted a public letter to Jones:
If you know the truth then why do you care? With all the media attention this is
only going to get worse for you. Your lawyer is trying to make a name for
himself using you as his pawn. If anything me just seeing your face on the news
right now will get you fired from your job. All you had to do is read the FAQ

In his affidavit, Richie stated that www.thedirty.com is owned and operated by Dirty World, LLC, not
Dirty World Entertainment Recordings, LLC. In her second amended complaint, Jones properly added Dirty World,
LLC dba Thedirty.com as a party.
