A California man peeved about the fact that women he dated had found each other online and compared notes has taken his grievances to court.
Stewart Lucas Murrey has sued at least 10 of women in Los Angeles civil court. He says that the women connected in a Facebook group called “Are We Dating The Same Guy, Los Angeles” and said things about him that were not true — including that he was involved in a “MURDER case of his ex wife,” is “suspected of murder,” and has been charged with domestic violence.
“All of these statements are false,” says the amended complaint, which was filed in November and has been reviewed by Law&Crime. He says he has never been married, and that a girlfriend “passed away from cancer in March of 2018.”

“Defendants clearly conspired to harm plaintiff,” the complaint says. Murrey accuses the women of using “coded language” in the Facebook group to “[coach] their co-conspirators how to cyberbully, harass, [and] defame” him, such as asking the question: “Does anyone have any tea to spill?”
