Verdict Has Been Reached On Jerry Lawler Fan Scam Lawsuit

 BodySlam.net reports  that a verdict was reached in a Tennessee court in the case of a fan, Jason Lurie, accusing  Jerry Lawler and Glenn Moore, who ran the Twitter account for Lawler’s Dinner With the King podcast. The issue stems from Moore allegedly accepting commissions on fan art for the Dinner With the King podcast.

Lurie had sued both Moore and Lawler after apparently paying for a piece of art that he never received. 

The court ruled that Moore was not acting as an employee or agent of Lawler, but as a “facilitator.” Moore reportedly stated that Lawler had agreed to the painting, and Moore and Lawler discussed Lawler doing the painting on the podcast. However, it never materialized.

Lurie pre-paid for the painting through PayPal, and wanted to recoup his losses and filed a lawsuit. Moore could not be found or served after he went off the grid. Moore reportedly has outstanding warrants as of this week. Lawler was the one who was served with the lawsuit.

Jason Lurie released a statement:

“Here’s the crux of the case… according to me, Glenn acted as an agent for the mystery boxes, the sketches and the oil. For the judge to rule that he wasn’t an agent but a facilitator is just horse****. Legally he met every condition for being an agent. The fact that there is no state law concerning a facilitator – well that’s because they are called agents. Not facilitators.”

Lurie plans to file an an appeal. The process could take between six months to a year to complete. Below is Jerry Lawler's response.
