| 0:00.0 | In reality television, the people are represented by two separate but equally obsessed attorneys. |
| 0:06.4 | This is their podcast. |
| 0:18.8 | Hi, I'm Sessie, and I'm Angela, and this is the Bravo Docket. |
| 0:24.8 | Hi everyone and welcome back to the Bravo Docket. |
| 0:27.4 | We are doing an episode of our legal brief today, and today we're going to discuss the |
| 0:34.4 | defamation lawsuit that Michael Derby filed against Candice Dillard Bassett on February 15, 2020. |
| 0:43.0 | How dare he? Not cool. Not cool. So this was filed in Virginia State Court in the circuit court |

| 1:55.9 | acts and omissions causing torsches injury to Michael Derby within the commonwealth of Virginia. |

| 2:06.9 | I know. So, what we're going to do today is read through the facts of the lawsuit. We're not |
