47. These links clearly and falsely associated Plaintiffs with illicit escort services in the state of Florida; information which Defendants McDonald and McDonald d/b/a Yi.Org knew, or should have known, was false. 48. These links have damaged Plaintiff Brunel’s reputation as an owner of a well-established modeling agency with offices in New York and Miami, Plaintiff MC2. 49. These links have also damaged the reputation of both Plaintiffs. 50. The combined damage to the reputation to both Plaintiffs has resulted in a significant loss of revenue to Plaintiff MC2, and accordingly, to Plaintiff Brunel. 51. Plaintiff MC2°s revenues have fallen to a mere fraction of what they were before the appearance of the links on Yi.Org. 52. Both Defendants McDonald d/b/a Yi.Org and McDonald assisted in the dissemination of the false and negative information that damaged Plaintiffs’ reputation and directly caused damages to Plaintiffs. 53.
