Attorney Haik rebuffs Facebook posts discovery request, prompting Billy Broussard to file Motion to Compel; includes “Mob Boss” Girouard’s postings falsely claiming a “criminal case” is pending against him, her calling him a “slithering snake,” and “a thief in the night.”

 

 

Billy Broussard, standing outside of the St. Martin Parish Clerk of Court’s Office on Monday, November 21, 2022, moments after filing a Motion to Compel Facebook posts from Mendy “Mob Boss” Girouard’s Facebook group “Vieux Jacquet Neighborhood.” Prominent New Iberia Defense attorney Eric Timothy Haik, who represents Girouard,  rebuffed Broussard’s discovery request for the posts saying they are, “irrelevant and not likely to lead to any admissible evidence in regards to Plaintiff’s claims of defamation.”

Here are the screen shots of the Facebook posts referenced in the video above and supplied in Broussard’s Memorandum in Support of his Motion to Compel:

Facebook post of January 14, 2022 published by Defendant Mendy Girouard to her Facebook group (in response to Ms. Ida Broussard) not only demonstrating absolutely profound ignorance in stating that Plaintiff is violating a TRO (Defendant Girouard  made the same verbal claim on January 6, 2022 at the St. Martin Parish Planning and Zoning meeting) which dissolved by operation of law on or around September 22, 2021 but further falsely states that that Plaintiff is, “just doing what he wants.”

Facebook post of January 14, 2022 published by Defendant Mendy Girouard to her Facebook group (in response to Ms. Ida Marie) falsely indicating that there is a, “criminal case against him (Plaintiff),” and that, “We are waiting for the date.”

Facebook post of January 14, 2022 published by Defendant Mendy Girouard to her Facebook group (in response to Ms. Kathy Howard) falsely indicating that Plaintiff is subject to a “criminal case” and how she, “can’t wait for the criminal case to show up on a docket.”

Facebook post of February 28, 2022 (two days before the St. Martin Parish Council Meeting) published by Defendant Mendy Girouard to her Facebook group blatantly defaming Plaintiff in referencing him as among “snakes” which “slither” and among “liers” (sic) who “lie,” and further bragging upon her self-proclaimed status as “Mob Boss” by openly promoting her hashtag “#mobbosscomingatya.”

Facebook post of February 28, 2022 (two days before the St. Martin Parish Council Meeting and in response to Ms. Debbie C. White) published by Defendant Mendy Girouard to her Facebook group blatantly defaming Plaintiff in referencing him as a, “thief in the night.”

Once a date for the Motion to Compel is scheduled, we commit to attend and report on the outcome.

This will be the last post before Thanksgiving, so we hope everyone has an enjoyable and Happy Thanksgiving!

  1. Mr. Burns,
    You are trampling over my rights to freedom of speech sir. I have not entered in much regarding comments but you choose to include my name in your mess. I would suggest you remove my name from your publication and future publications. If you don’t want trouble then don’t look for trouble! You have no right in blasting my name in your publications sir. Please do not force me into getting this situation looked into legally. I have had no beefs with you so don’t try to include me in this most disgusting situation sir. Thank you!
    Debbie C. White

  2. Billy has always in the past 24 years since I’ve known him has aways been a law bidding citizen and a stand up guy in his community. To see and read all of this it’s hard to believe and understand how you can own property and be trespassed from your own property. This sounds like The Good ‘Ol Boy Network (GOBN) at its best and Mr. Broussard’s name had to be dragged through the mud before he was found not guilty!
