A Cooper City woman is suing her ex-boyfriend for more than US$6bil, accusing him of seizing control of her racy social media accounts, posting sexually suggestive and explicit photos and videos after they broke up last year.
Mikayla Saravia, 25, and Nicholas Hunter, 27, had been in a volatile relationship over a five-year period that appears to have ended last October, according to court records. In a lawsuit filed in federal court earlier this month, Saravia alleges that Hunter changed the passwords on her Twitter and OnlyFans accounts, then started posting pictures and videos without her consent.
Saravia has two accounts on OnlyFans – one is accessible without a fee. The other costs US$30 a month and is billed as more “explicit”. It was the second that Hunter is accused of controlling after the breakup.
“For months, Defendant’s conduct continued,” Saravia’s lawyer, Joseph DiRuzzo, wrote in his complaint. He accused Hunter of selling a sexually explicit video of Saravia for US$35 in January and images for US$10 and US$13 each in January, among other allegations.
“Defendant used the Only Fans account to sell sexually explicit videos and images of the plaintiff based on material he had amassed prior to the severance of their business and personal relationship,” DiRuzzo wrote.
It was not clear as of late Friday whether Hunter had hired a lawyer to represent him against the revenge porn lawsuit. In a civil domestic violence case in Broward County, Saravia and Hunter are suing each other. Hunter’s civil lawyer in that case said he is not involved in the latest dispute.
DiRuzzo conceded that Saravia had posted explicit content before the breakup with Hunter, but in those cases she was in control of the images she released. “Just because you consented to an image in the past, it does not mean you’re giving someone permission to post additional content without your consent,” DiRuzzo said.
Saravia has more than 655,000 followers on Twitter. The lawsuit seeks damages of US$10,000 for each of the 628,000 followers she had in October 2022, when Hunter and Saravia ended their relationship.
No hearing date had been set as of March 17. DiRuzzo declined a media request to interview Saravia. – South Florida Sun-Sentinel/Tribune News Service
