Diana Jenkins no longer pursues action against the person or persons responsible for the racist bot attacks Garcelle Beauvais‘ son, Jax Nilonwas faced midway through the 12th season of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
After filing a lawsuit to uncover the identities of those who cyberbullied the teenager in 2022, saying she hoped to ‘unmask and hold accountable the morally bankrupt person who attacked a child’, Diana confirmed that she was ending the affair.
In her Wednesday court filing, which Radar Online obtained on May 11, Diana said that after the court “expressed concerns” that she was not the right person to conduct the trial, her team contacted Garcelle’s attorney to ask “if she would join the lawsuit as a plaintiff.
But while Diana “offered to cover all of her legal costs related to the lawsuit”, she “did not receive a response from [Garcelle].”
Diana, who is currently pregnant, also contacted NBC Universal, Bravo’s parent company, “and advised NBC Universal of its efforts to identify the perpetrator(s), but also received no response.”
“Given the lack of response and assistance and despite having spent tens of thousands of dollars, Ms. Jenkins has concluded that she cannot pursue this litigation at this time,” her recent filing said. “SP. Jenkins is filing for termination without prejudice.
According to the report, Diana had come closer to identifying the person or persons behind the disturbing attacks on Jax before dropping her case.
“Many Instagram account holders had concealed their identities using disposable email addresses and foreign phone numbers,” the lawsuit explained. “[Diana] worked with a computer forensic expert [who] identified a potential name behind one of the accounts” with IP addresses in Northern California.
There were also links with the Ivory Coast and Mongolia in West Africa. And the initial and surname of a possible culprit have been shared.
“[Despite identifying] service providers for IP addresses such as Comcast and Verizon, [Diana] “Unable to determine who was using the IP addresses,” Diana’s filing shared.
In January, after confirming that she was expecting her fourth child, the second for her fiancé, Asher MonroeDiana has confirmed that she will not be featured on RHOBH season 13.
“As many of you know, Asher and I are expecting our second child later this year. You are also aware that due to many factors this pregnancy is considered high risk and I am bedridden on the advice of a doctor. For this, I am not in a position to devote myself fully to filming the next season of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills“, she announced on Instagram. “I want to thank Bravo and Evolution for allowing me to focus on my pregnancy and for their support and understanding.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 13 is currently in production and is expected to begin airing on Bravo later this year.
