"The Real Deal began covering the rape and sexual assault allegations lodged against the brothers during the summer of 2024. According to the complaint, The Real Deal intentionally and recklessly published a series of false and misleading stories accusing the Alexanders of rape and sexual abuse, and that the publication refused to consider or publish anything that called into question its false narrative."
"The complaint goes on to claim that Oren Alexander shared information that would clear him of fault with The Real Deal, but that the publication did not publish this information. According to the complaint, The Real Deal did this to increase subscriber count and please advertisers. The complaint also rebuffs The Real Deal's claim that Oren Alexander threatened the publication in early March 2025, claiming that these allegations were false."
"TRD's unlawful conduct was knowing, malicious, willful and wanton and/or showed a reckless disregard for the Alexanders' rights, which has caused, and continues to cause them to suffer permanent and irreparable harm to their professional and personal reputations, the complaint states. The Alexanders are currently awaiting trial in the sex trafficking lawsuit. They were denied bail by both district and appeals court judges."

The complaint denies a March 2025 alleged threat by Oren and alleges TRD's conduct was knowing, malicious, willful, and showed reckless disregard for the Alexanders' rights, causing permanent reputational harm. The Alexanders await trial on sex trafficking charges, faced bail denials and multiple civil suits, and seek $500 million in damages.
