The request includes information about the Story's viewers, reach, posting and removal dates, and follower counts of Guo and Day before and after the post. Day's Instagram Stories contained allegations about Guo's relationship, including claims that Guo refused emergency services during a dying person's situation, wanted Day to sign an NDA, and stole belongings. Guo described Day's posts as \"replete with falsehoods\" in her sworn declaration, and the planned lawsuit focuses on the allegation that Guo refused emergency services.",
