Case 1:18-cv-01011-RMC Document 42 Filed 08/09/19 Page 10 of 19 previously. See id. ¶ 144. This negatively impacted Ms. Dumpson’s academic experience and ability to socialize on the AU campus. Id. By inviting readers of the Daily Stormer to troll Ms. Dumpson, Mr. Anglin and Moonbase Holdings also encouraged others to interfere with her enjoyment of AU. Id. ¶ 150. Mr. Anglin and Moonbase Holdings interfered with Ms. Dumpson’s access and enjoyment of AU by causing Ms. Dumpson to feel constantly unsafe as a result of Mr. Anglin and Moonbase Holdings’ threatening messages and the messages they urged other to send. The Court finds that a casual nexus exists between the troll storm created by Mr. Anglin and Moonbase Holdings and Ms. Dumpson’s enjoyment of AU and its resources and that Ms. Dumpson was targeted because of her race and gender. b. Mr. Ade (Count V) Ms. Dumpson alleges that Mr. Ade aided and abetted interference with her right to full and equal enjoyment of AU’s campus. Id. ¶ 198. Mr. Ade’s participation in the troll storm contributed to Ms. Dumpson’s fear and lack of safety. Id. ¶ 201. Mr. Ade’s tweets also demonstrate that the basis of the interference was Ms. Dumpson’s race and gender because they refer to Ms. Dumpson as a “sheeboon” and make additional comparisons to Ms. Dumpson and apes.9 Id. ¶¶ 100, 143. Mr. Ades’s actions therefore constitute interference with Ms. Dumpson’s enjoyment of a place of public accommodation. A casual nexus existed between the troll storm, to which Mr. Ade added, and Ms. Dumpson’s enjoyment of AU. 2. Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress (Counts IV and VIII) Under D.C. law, to state a claim of intentional infliction of emotional distress, the plaintiff must show “‘(1) extreme and outrageous conduct on the part of the defendant which (2) 9 “Comparing African Americans to apes or monkeys is a common form of racist insult used to dehumanize, belittle, or intimidate African Americans.” Am.
