Cowboyz Threatens Lawsuit Against Blogger Joe Albero

Cease and Desist

We represent Ruxandra Brooks of Ocean City, MD and are currently undergoing extensive legal international procedures against the perpetrators of false allegations involving Ruxandra Brooks in the scandal concerning Cowboyz Restaurant, defamation and slander.

Recently, we have been advised that you have published a story on your blog http://sbynews.blogspot.com/2010/01/cowboyz-news-breaks-in-romania.html related to an article which appeared in a Romanian newspaper. Whilst we have nothing against the article, we are appalled by the Comments which you have allowed to appear on your blog. We are very aware that you moderate these and that no effort took place to protect the name of innocent people.

Your actions and lack of responsibility have and continue to cause great grief and distress to Mrs. Ruxandra Brooks as well as her family and friends. The latest and most unscrupulous attempt at defaming and hurting her has left her no choice than than to take legal action and seek all legal remedies against you and your blog.

The only way this can be stopped is if you remove any references to Mrs Brooks within 24 hours, no later than tomorrow.

At any and all cost Mrs. Brooks will defend her basic human rights of privacy and well being and do whatever it takes to prove and clear her good name from the libelous and insidious statements which you helped to propagate online or otherwise. Your signature on the line indicated below signifies your acceptance of the terms outlined in this letter. Should we not receive a positive response from you within five (5) days of the date of this letter, we shall proceed with all steps necessary to protect our client's goodwill.

Very truly yours,
AGREED TO AND ACCEPTED BY:

Name: Ionescu and Sava Attorney at law
Title: Partner

Dear Otilia: Counter Lawsuits can be a real biotch. My Attorneys are Mr. Mark Cropper and Mr. Bruce Bright in Ocean City. If you want to play ball, bring it on. In case you haven't noticed, this is AMERICA and perhaps you haven't studied ALL of the rules. It's called FREEDOM OF SPEECH and YOU, nor (anyone else) will censor this Site and or force my hand to do so. So tell your Client she better tighten her seat belt for one hell of a ride if she wants to play ball with me. By the way, Idiot, you can't sue me for comments other people made. That's been proven THREE times in court right here on the Eastern Shore.

Sincerely,

Joe Albero
President

Isn't SHE the one who put HERSELF on the internet for all to see? How could she then sue anyone for discussing such a thing?

Excellant

She knows she can't win this lawsuit. She just sent a threatening letter to see if you would remove the comments made by others. I'm sure you wont but don't sign the letter. You won't hear anything else from her.

Hey Joe, what's to say Mrs. Brooks didn't write those comments herself. She is a nut you know.

what a joke! i can't help laughing at the so called "attorneys" letter. thanks for the laugh this morning!! people place themselves in horrible positions...haha, and then want to whine about it? get over it!

Chris Slavens said...

Either that letter is a hoax, or the writer has a poor command of the English language, a rarity among lawyers. Leave it to a foreigner to assume that an American citizen would be frightened by the vague threat of "legal international procedures" (which is worded incorrectly, by the way). What a group of swine!

Joe, Glad to see President as your title. About time! I wonder where these people go to law school.

NoName said...

Joe did not call her AN idiot, he called her Idiot. Capitalized, I'm just saying.

Hey Joe, What do you think about putting the word "FOR" behind your name and before the word President. I would vote for you.

Anonymous said...

I say to you Joe, Sir you should counter sue here for more than she is worth, show these people that they won't get free money as this lady is trying to do... This is what you call a direct result lol... She did something bad, got caught and now she wants free money for her own mistake lmao...

She needs to learn a fee life statements to live by:

Can't do the time, Don't do the crime.

P.S.

If the statement is true, which it is... How can that be a defamation of character? And if anyone is to blame its the Romanian paper who wrote it, you just reverenced it...

Hmmmm...... Joe's actions and lack of responsibility have AND continue to cause great grief and distress to Mrs. Ruxandra Brooks as well as her family and friends..... Gee, seems she wasn't too concerned about her family and friends or her LACK of responsibility with her actions in the not so distant past. Mrs. Brooks will defend her basic human rights...and will do whatever it takes.... What about my basic human rights. How many times have I eaten in their establishment, taken my family there, my children there. It just makes me sad knowing that I've exposed my school age children to God knows what by eating in her establishment. It just sickens me to think about it.

We all have choices to make in this life. When we make poor choices, we must live with the consequences! Grow up! and Shut up!

Joe, will they never learn?

Anonymous said...

Wow! So, she gets her citizenship probably because she found some desperate American dude to marry her and now she wants to get some money the NEW American way by suing people. Get a life and get a job.

Have her attorney read the United States Constitution before continuing with the lawsuit. I agree, don't they ever learn?!

I deal with attorneys all the time.
Most 2 bit lawyers do not have a good command of the English language.
I've had some dealings with some lawyers on the eastern shore and many of them are functionally incompetent!
I'm not a lawyer and I know more about the law then some of them!

If it bothers her what is said then she should just stop visiting your blog

Get over it.

You must have more money then sense.

Hummmmm, I've seen the videos and the one in the kitchen area where she is "helping the kitchen help" shows her integrity and basic
human rights. She was definitely dis-dressed and I think her constitution winked at me.

Anonymous said...

This has nothing to do with Cowboyz. Ruxandra and John Brooks divorced before any of this happened. Jeez

She can fight for her "basic human rights" and you keep fighting for "basic american rights", freedom of speech is alive and well......Go Joe!

Haha!

Is she asking for a pitty party? Come on... You married an American got ur green card now you want to sue the real Americans who dont have to marry someone to become a citizen. This is America and you dont belong. Glad your ex husband opened his eyes and divorced you. Go back to Romania.

To the person who's comment I just rejected.

Look, no matter what you say, NO COMMENT that gets posted is my responsibility.

You can claim she can sue me all you want. While she can sue me, I can counter sue and I will win. Been there, done that, three times now.

Yes, I do moderate but I can allow even the nastiest of comments, if I so choose. Again, even if I did, I'm not liable for them. Mind you, if they could trace that comment back to my IP Address they have a winning case. However, I'm not that stupid.

Case Closed. By the way, if you don't like the fact that you claim I keep rejecting so many of your comments, first of all, grow up and start putting things up that aren't personal attacks, curse words, capital letters, you know the drill. This is NOT a place for you to come and simply bash me all the time just because you dislike me. If you want to do so, start a Blog like JT did and blast away. Just remember, you ARE liable for what you post. If you don't like it here, please, go away and don't come back. It really is that simple.

Finally a sensible comment from J.A.

Look, I actually think you did her a favor by posting this, to show that she's really got nothing to do with that "debatable" individual JB.

Ruxandra is actually a really nice person and I doubt she's got any enemies apart from that psycho. shame she got dragged into this (and maybe you now :-) ?)

As to JB & those ugly bieatches that's a different story, totally different animal.

Perhaps you should have negociated an exclusive in exchange for removing anything to do with her name? Good business sense that is.

PS you did allow some of my comments :-)

"I" do not negotiate.

Seriously Now. Was anyone ever charged with...ANYTHING at Cowboyz?

I mean Johnny still is at CCFUSA every single day as far as I can tell. His car is hard to miss.

Everyone I've talked to says they are opening another place on Rt. 54 and Cowboyz was sold to a Big Sports Bar Chain from Lawrenceville New Jersey. Greene Turtle better watch out.....LOL

Silly stuff from silly people.

Give it a rest.

Hey Joe, Jacque Bradbury and Krista Hearne will be in OC District Court on February 8th. You should show up!

I LOVE ME SOME CAT FIGHTS!

i worked at Cowboyz and ruxandra was never there.john brooks was always with krista hearne and everyother woman, and i worked there the day Cowboyz opened, so why is her name in this its his ex wife. and if you want to know the truth about john brooks he is a pot head and drinks everyday.he was always smoking in the basement at Cowboyz.glad i left there before my name was put in it.

Anonymous said...

Sounds like a disgruntled employee to me.....oh and you just discribed every local in Ocean City.

ROTFL

Funny how they come out of the woodwork huh Joe?

Oh no he drinks and smokes pot and acts like a bachelor...which he is

I dont know the guy but he seems pretty normal to me. IMHO

joealbero said...

For what it's worth, it seems to me that some of you are obsessed with this particular post. It doesn't take long for you guys to come back and ACT like you're not related to this situation and or ACT like you're not the person being discussed but since I'm the one moderating comments on this I can clearly see what's going on.

Why don't you just let it go?

Anonymous said...

Joe - any chance you can remove the name of people above who've got nothing to do with this?

the site has had its share of traffic to the scandal, but Ruxandra does not deserve this.

She should not be associated with Cowboyz (She hated that place like there's no tomorrow) nor J.B.

Please.

joealbero said...

anonymous 1:43, no. Once the comments are posted they stay up. I do not have the time to go through comments to remove them, nor do I know who's who in this. They stay.

Anonymous said...

Man I miss a week on this blog and all hell breaks loose. LOL. One thing I can say about Mr Brooks. He stays in the public interest. Two hot girls, porn videos, cover of a the romanian national paper, fast cars, nice bars, nice cars...

Whats next? Governer?

You know what they say about publicity.

hate him or love him you all love to read about him dontcha?

FML....I'm so boring

Something to look into Joe... Far as I know/hear Johnny is NOT divorced...yet, just separated and wasn't at the time of all the mess.
