YouTuber Jack Doherty sued for allegedly urging bodyguard to fight for livestream content
A lawsuit alleges Jack Doherty urged bodyguard Justin Goslee to fight Chase Cameron Gardella during a 2023 Halloween gathering to generate engaging content.
According to the lawsuit filed by Chase Cameron Gardella, YouTuber Jack Doherty instructed his bodyguard, Justin Kane Kongg Goslee, to physically assault Doherty during a Halloween celebration in October 2023. The lawsuit alleges that Doherty reviewed surveillance footage showing Goslee rendering a woman unconscious while employed at another job and used that footage to prompt Goslee into attacking Gardella.
Gardella claims Doherty was satisfied with the violent encounter because it would make engaging content for his audience. The legal team representing Gardella seeks default judgment against both Goslee and his company Kongg Inc., as well as punitive damages. Doherty's lawyers are petitioning to be removed from the case, with a hearing scheduled for November 23.
