Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick filed a $1 million defamation lawsuit in Broward County against challenger Elijah Manley, alleging his Instagram videos and statements suggested misconduct and amounted to a pattern of false and defamatory statements. The lawsuit accuses Manley of stalking and cyberbullying on social platforms, seeks monetary damages and a court order prohibiting further attacks, and cites reputational harm and public discredit. Legal and political analysts note an increasing trend of candidates taking disputes to courts rather than the court of public opinion. Manley called the suit frivolous and used the filing for fundraising.
