Not a real activist

Sadistic bully “Jessica” Yaniv is suing those women all over again. Devika Desai in the National Post:

Trans activist Jessica Yaniv has filed a civil suit against three female beauticians for close to $12,000, almost a year after a human rights tribunal ruled against her complaints against the same women. 

Documents published to the British Columbia Court services website on Aug. 26 show that Yaniv — who legally goes by Jessica Simpson — filed a suit against Sandeep Benipal, Marcia DaSilva and Sukhdhip Hehar for $11,800. 

Props to the National Post for assigning the story to a woman with an Indian name. Seriously: nicely done.

Little is known about the reason behind the civil suit, but this isn’t the first time Yaniv has attempted to bring legal proceedings against the women in question.

The tribunal member Devyn Cousineau dismissed Yaniv’s complaints in October 2019, finding Yaniv’s testimony to be “disingenuous and self-serving” and said that the complaints were filed with “improper motives or in bad faith.”  

Yaniv, according to the ruling, “targeted small businesses, manufactured the conditions for a human rights complaint, and then leveraged that complaint to pursue a financial settlement from parties who were unsophisticated and unlikely to mount a proper defence,” the ruling read.

Furthermore, in many of her complaints, Cousineau ruled that Yaniv was “motivated to punish racialized and immigrant women based on her perception that certain ethnic groups, namely South Asian and Asian communities are ‘taking over’ and advancing an agenda hostile to the interests of LGBTQ+ people.”

The ruling ordered Yaniv to pay $2,000 to Hehar, Benipal and DaSilva for“improper conduct” including using human rights law as a “weapon” for “extortion.”

And the National Post assigns Devika Desai to write it up. Nyah nyah nyah.

Yaniv is an absolute pustule.

    Doesn’t this come under vexatious litigation? There are statutes about that in Canada. (https://www.ontario.ca/laws/statute/90c43#BK193)

    Did he ever pay the damage awards?

    He says he did.

    The ruling ordered Yaniv to pay $2,000 to Hehar, Benipal and DaSilva for “improper conduct” including using human rights law as a “weapon” for “extortion.”

    In an email Thursday to Postmedia, Yaniv insisted she had paid the amount to the women, and sued them anew to protect her assets. She said:

    “The facts are, I paid the lien, the other side confirmed they received payment earlier this year in full, and they never removed the lien after they said they would. I ordered a title search, and they did not remove the lien, so as such they were sued to protect my assets.”

    But it seems he lied.

    On Jan. 7 2020, the Justice Centre said that Yaniv launched another complaint against a separate B.C. beauty salon , also run by immigrant women who are of Sikh faith, who refused to offer her waxing services. However, as she had refused to pay the costs from the previous complainants, the tribunal deferred the new complaint for six months.
