According to the lawsuit, “On or about November 28, 2022, Guillard posted six TikTok videos to her account in which she falsely stated that Professor Scofield, the chair of the history department, was responsible for the four students’ deaths.”
“Two of the TikToks directly and falsely state that Professor Scofield ordered the execution of the four students. Three of the TikToks either falsely implied or directly stated that Professor Scofield had been involved in a relationship with one of the murdered students, K.G.”
The lawsuit states that Scofield was out-of-town in Portland visiting friends at the time of the killings. She never taught or met any of the victims. And she did not know the Texas-based TikToker either.
“She fears for her life and the lives of her family members,” the complaint states. “She has incurred costs, including costs to install a security system and security cameras at her residence. She fears that Guillard’s false statements may motivate someone to cause harm to her or her family members.”
TikTok defiant
Guillard posted a video Friday claiming “I am not stopping.” And she was wondering why Scofield needed three lawyers to sue her “if she’s so innocent.”
