SNAILS DEFAMATION LAWSUIT

THE TRUTH (EXPLAINED)
Legal Case Overview (Frédérik Durand vs Michaela Higgins)

Frédérik Durand, known professionally as DJ SNAILS, was involved in a defamation lawsuit against Michaela Higgins following her posting false allegations made online about Durand. This page provides a factual overview of the case, including timeline, claims, and the final court ruling.

In the year following the victory of my defamation lawsuit (Frédérik Durand against Michaela Higgins), misinformation about the case has continued to circulate online.

This post is here to clarify the truth, answer public questions, share the more in-depth story, and provide the facts as determined through legal records, sworn testimony, and the court's judgment. The goal is for everyone to have a full understanding of why this case was pursued and how it unfolded.

Thank you to everyone who’s supported me throughout this process.
