Description: Kelly, a former Miss North Texas, claims her life and pageant career have been ruined by malicious posts on TheDirty.com. On the show, Kelly tells Anderson about the process she went through to submit a request to remove anonymously-posted content from the website.
Kelly tells Anderson she had to open a PayPal account and pay $12.95 a month to request her "dirt" be removed.
Nik, owner of TheDirty.com, tells Anderson he stopped that program and that "to get something removed is free." However, he explains there is a fee to have a request expedited.
"How is that not extortion or blackmail?" asks Anderson.
"It's not because I remove stuff all the time for free," says Nik. He continues to tell Anderson that the charge is for his time and effort. "If I don't take the post down, I actually refund the money," claims Nik.
Anderson reads the definition of extortion, according to Black's Law Dictionary, "The obtaining of property from another induced by wrongful use or actual or threatened force, violence or fear."
He continues, the definition of blackmail is, "Unlawful demand of money or property under threat to do bodily harm. To injure property, to accuse a crime or to dispose disgraceful defects."
