Brittany
Courville
has
had
an
interesting
career
path.
The
University
of
Pennsylvania
Law
grad
began
her
legal
career
at
Winston
&
Strawn
but
has
since
left
the
practice
of
law.
Courville
got
caught
up
in
the
Free
Britney
movement
—
the
online
activism
that
agitated
for
the
end
of
pop
star
Britney
Spears’s
conservatorship.
And
when
that
passion
butted
up
against
her
legal
work,
she
dipped
out
of
life
as
an
attorney
to
try
her
hand
as
an
influencer.
As
she’s
said
on
her
platform,
“Let’s
just
say
my
law
tube
career
and
my
legal
career
collided
almost
immediately,
and
I
chose
to
leave
my
first
lawyer
job
after
Britney
Spears’
manager
personally
requested
I
stopped
making
investigation
videos
about
her
on
YouTube.
And
I
refused.
So
I
quit,
and
that
sucked.
That
sucked,”
she
said.
“I’m
retiring
from
the
practice
of
law.
Moving
forward,
I
will
seek
to
make
more
decisions
that
allow
me
to
experience
true
freedom.”
With
163,000
subscribers
on
her
YouTube
channel,
Courville
continues
to
speak
about
celebrity
conservatorships.
Yes,
Britney
is,
in
fact
free
now,
but
a
frequent
subject
of
Courville’s
content
is Lima
Jevremovic,
who
served
one
year
as
a
court-appointed
guardian
of
Bam
Margera,
of
MTV’s
Jackass
fame.
As
reported
by
Law.com:
In
her
discussion
of
the
Margera
case,
Courville
has
alleged
that
Jevremovic
has
conspired
with
Margera’s
family
and
friends
to
gain
control
of
his
assets,
according
to
a
2022
suit
by
Jevremovic.
Courville
has
also
suggested
Jevremovic
was
criminally
liable
in
connection
with
the
treatment
she
provided
to
a
former
homeless
woman,
Amanda
Rabb,
who
died
in
2021,
the
suit
claimed.
Jevremovic’s
suit
claims
she
and
her
family
have
had
to
move
multiple
times
due
to
death
threats
from
Courville’s
followers.
Which,
has
led
to
some
legal
issues.
Jevremovic
filed
a
lawsuit
against
Courville
alleging
the
former
attorney
“created
a
scandal
concocting
ersatz
villains
out
of
Ms.
Jevremović
and
her
wellness
supplements
and
healthcare
solutions
software
business,
AURA.”
But
in
a
series
of
related
cases,
U.S.
District
Judge
Zahid
Quaraishi dismissed
them
without
prejudice,
relying
on
Sciore
v.
Phung,
holding
that
“Internet
forums
…
conveys
a
strong
signal
to
a
reasonable
reader
that
the
statements
are
defendant’s
opinion”
and
are
given
“less
credence”
than
“similar
remarks
made
in
other
contexts.”
And
Corville’s
attire
played
a
role
in
his
thinking:
The
judge
noted
that
Courville,
when
speaking
on
her
videos,
“can
be
seen
wearing
either
panda
ears
or
bunny
ears
while
making
her
statements,
while
a
sparkly
unicorn
piñata
rests
prominently
in
the
background.”In
addition,
Courville
calls
herself
a
“legal
edutainer,”
and
refers
to
her
opinions
about
Margera
and
Jeremovic
as
mere
“theories,”
the
judge
said.
Jevremovic
is
currently
on
the
fourth
amended
complaint,
and
the
pleadings
on
Corville’s
motion
to
dismiss
are
ongoing.
But
Jeremovic
is
determined
to
chart
out
how
defamation
works
online:
Boiling
down
the
defamatory
statements
against
Jeremovic
is
difficult
because
Corville
made
“hour
after
hour”
of
claims,
“except
to
say
that
Ms.
Jeremovic
is
the
devil
incarnate,
trying
to
steal
money
and
take
advantage
of
people
with
addiction
problems,”
said
[Jeremovic’s
attorney
Elliot
Ostrove,]
of
Epstein
Ostrove
in
Edison,
New
Jersey.“She’s
trying
to
be
a
social
media
personality
and
internet
star,
basically
trying
to
make
a
living
by
riling
up
other
people,
and
it
seems
to
work
to
some
degree,”
Ostrove
said.
“Defamation
laws
need
to
exist
online.
Just
because
somebody’s
puts
themselves
online
and
uses
their
finger
quotes
or
uses
silly
backgrounds
or
pretend
like
they’re
saying,
‘well,
it’s
just
my
opinion,’
they
can’t
then
spew
falsehoods
that
…
actually
harm
people,
and
hide
behind
the
fact
that
they’re
doing
it
on
the
Internet.
If
they’re
going
to
put
information
out
there,
and
they’re
going
to
put
it
out
there
in
a
way
to
try
to
rile
people
up,
they
need
to
make
sure
what
they’re
saying
is
true
and
accurate.”
Because
if
you
can’t
trust
a
washed-out
Biglaw
attorney
in
bunny
ears,
who
can
you
trust?
