Delusional Danesh Dumped: TikTok Terrorist’s Federal Suit Implodes
TikTok cancel culture kingpin Danesh Noshirvan just got clobbered in federal court.
In a devastating 56-page decision handed down June 26, 2025, Fort Myers Federal Court Judge John E. Steele gutted Noshirvan’s lawsuit against 17 defendants.
The case—Noshirvan v. Couture et al., Case No. 2:23-cv-1218-JES-KCD—was based on wild conspiracy theories, defamation claims, and allegations of emotional distress.
Most of it is now dead.
Judge Steele torched the majority of Noshirvan’s claims, calling them “shotgun pleadings” filled with vague accusations, legal fluff, and “implausible conclusions.”
The ruling strips Noshirvan down to a handful of defamation theories—barely alive and already on life support.
“The Court is not obligated to hunt through a tangled complaint in search of a valid claim,” Judge Steele wrote, slamming the plaintiff for filing a case bloated with “redundant, immaterial, and impertinent allegations.”
For a man who made a name doxxing Supreme Court justices and targeting political enemies online, the courtroom reality check could not be more brutal.
Federal Court to Danesh: Get Real
Danesh styled himself as a crusader for accountability. But in federal court, he flopped.
Judge Steele dismissed or struck down nearly every claim:
Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress? Rejected. Not “outrageous” enough.
Misappropriation of Likeness? Dismissed. No advertising, no case.
Tortious Interference? Tossed. No business interest, no relationship, no claim.
Agency/Vicarious Liability? Stricken. Improperly added. Lacked permission or foundation.
Only one narrow sliver of the case survived: a single defamation conspiracy count, and even that was trimmed to exclude 11 of 17 defendants. Judge Steele ruled there was “no plausible link” between those parties and the alleged misconduct.
And Danesh’s prized villain—nonparty “Joey Camp,” allegedly the mastermind behind the harassment campaign—was declared not indispensable.
Defendants can sue Joey Camp later if they want, but Noshirvan had no excuse for trying to rope everyone else in without showing how they acted in concert.
In legal terms: Danesh’s case is now basically worthless.
Delusional Danesh Dumped: Sock Puppets, Lies, and Legal Collapse
Danesh’s credibility is already toast. In past filings and online videos, he admitted using sock puppet accounts and AI tools to wage digital war on his targets. He bragged about impersonating conservatives to manufacture outrage.
Worse, his campaigns have led to tragedy.
In Texas, he falsely accused high school coach Aaron De La Torre of child abuse. Police and the Denton Independent School District found “no probable cause” and “no evidence.”
But Danesh kept hammering De La Torre online, prompting a mob harassment campaign that ended with the coach’s suicide.
Texas authorities are now investigating Danesh for criminally negligent homicide and false reporting to police.
Meanwhile, Independent Medical Evaluations (IMEs) diagnosed both Danesh and his wife, Hannah Butcher Noshirvan, with PTSD, depression, and anxiety. However, the IMEs failed to establish clear causation between the defendants’ actions and the couple’s mental health issues.
Their claims of PTSD aren’t supported by credible evidence. And if they were, they would raise more serious questions for Child Services in Tioga County, Pennsylvania.
Importantly, Danesh is unrepentant and denies any responsibility for the harm his activities cause.
“That’s not my responsibility,” Danesh told Dr. Phil. “It’s cruel to put that on me.”
Tell that to Lori De La Torre, who sources say may be a rebuttal witness in the Fort Myers federal court case if it goes to trial.
Judge Steele’s ruling makes the probability of a trial slim.
Danesh’s case was already shaky. Now it’s on the floor in pieces.
The Grift Behind the Lawsuit
What’s left of this federal circus? Practically nothing. Just some slander claims about tweets that nobody remembers and videos that generated sympathy for Danesh’s opponents.
Even worse for him, this case has opened the door to massive exposure. Journalist Richard Luthmann, the lead plaintiff in a new lawsuit, is seeking $20 million in damages after Danesh baselessly and maliciously wrote that Luthmann was a “pedophile” and gleefully disseminated the content to his 2.5 million followers without correction.
Luthmann has called Danesh “a cancel culture emperor with no clothes,” and his latest filings back that up.
“Danesh used this court to run a Woke censorship scam,” Luthmann said. “Now the federal judiciary sees through it, and the public does too.”
Danesh’s lawyer, Nick Chiappetta of Lake Worth, Florida, an ambulance chaser, did little to save the case. Multiple claims were filed improperly or without the court’s leave.
The judge warned that discovery would not be used as a means of intimidation or a tool for a witch hunt.
The message: This isn’t TikTok. It’s a federal court. Play by the rules.
Delusional Danesh Dumped: From Doxxing Justices to Getting Dismissed
Danesh rose to infamy by doxxing the home addresses of Supreme Court justices during the Dobbs protests.
He revealed Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s home address just days before an armed man attempted an assassination.
Yet, he’s never been charged.
Now, the same cancel culture playbook he used to target others has backfired in spectacular fashion.
Judge Steele’s order isn’t just a procedural ruling—it’s a public humiliation.
Danesh’s “network of accountability” is revealed as a digital mob backed by bad faith, lies, AI, and performative outrage.
His remaining case will move forward with limited discovery and no opportunity to expand the scope of the case.
Without a win, a settlement, or a major turn of events, this lawsuit is a dead man walking. The Court graciously gave Danesh two weeks to file an amendment on the limited claims, but many believe that will be Danesh’s final opportunity.
“The case is winding down,” said a Southwest Florida trial lawyer who wished to remain anonymous. “After Judge Steele’s decision, there’s not much left. There’s no economic damage and questionable emotional distress claims. If I were [Nick Chiappetta], I’d take the nuisance value insurance money on the table and run before it becomes clear this case will be resolved without a trial.”
But a “Delusional Danesh” still believes he has a case, even after his pleadings were culled by the grim reaper on a search for souls. He issued a Substack message saying he was “WINNING.”
Ok, Charlie Sheen.
And Danesh’s legal troubles may just be beginning. Sources say the Trump DOJ has had Danesh on its radar for some time.
Judge Steele’s ruling on Danesh’s patently ridiculous federal claims may be the impetus to take action.
Delusional Danesh Dumped: Spinning, Not Winning
Danesh’s June 27, 2025, Substack post claiming “victory” in the wake of Judge Steele’s ruling is pure delusion—and directly contradicts the court’s actual findings. It isn’t the first time Delusional Danesh has told his assorted snowflake followers fairy tales.
Danesh weaves tales about Law Enforcement and sordid deeds related to his “enemies.”
Missing from each and every malicious narrative is any scintilla of truth.
His latest statements about Judge Steele’s decision are just as bizarre.
First, Danesh asserts that the court “affirmed [his] theory of the case,” and that Judge Steele “ruled that this is a conspiracy.”
That is patently false.
While one limited defamation conspiracy count survived the motion to dismiss, the court dismissed or struck down the majority of his 18 claims, including all claims of tortious interference, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and misappropriation of likeness.
Judge Steele’s opinion emphasized that Danesh’s complaint was a “shotgun pleading”—a term of legal art for cases riddled with unfocused, vague, and redundant allegations .
Danesh also falsely suggests that the court “clearly stated that we have alleged sufficient facts to support the existence of a coordinated campaign.”
In reality, the court said no such thing. It ruled that of the 17 defendants, only six—Couture, Garramone, Trainor, Trainor’s firm, the ADL, and Central Park SWFL—were plausibly connected to the sole surviving claim.
The other eleven defendants were dismissed. Judge Steele specifically stated there was “no plausible link” between those parties and any alleged conduct.
If this were a final exam, Delusional Danesh and Ambulance Chaser Nick Chiappetta scored 35%. That’s all the defendants that are left.
Epic. Legal. Fail.
Perhaps the most delusional claim is Danesh’s insistence that the ruling is a “total rebuke” to his critics and that he is “winning.” This is nonsense.
Judge Steele denied most of his motions, limited discovery, rejected attempts to add new claims, and found that vicarious liability claims were improperly pled.
The court also rejected Danesh’s effort to force nonparty “Joey Camp” into the case, affirming that Camp is not indispensable, which undermines Danesh’s entire theory of “coordinated harassment.”
In short, Danesh is not winning—he’s spinning.
The ruling was not a greenlight. It was a flashing red warning that his case is collapsing under the weight of his own delusions.
Verdict: Career Destroyed, Case Destroyed
Danesh Noshirvan thought he could use federal court like he uses TikTok—to silence enemies and prop himself up. He failed.
He lost most of his claims. Danesh lost most of his defendants. And now he’s lost his moral authority.
And soon, he may lose again—this time as a defendant in far more serious cases.
As Judge Steele’s ruling makes clear: Danesh doesn’t get special rules just because he yells louder online.
The empire of fear Danesh built is falling.
The lawsuit was supposed to be his hammer. Instead, it’s his own coffin.
The world now watches as the judicial system he assaulted inserts the nails.
