A defamation lawsuit filed by Hubbard Inn in Chicago’s River North neighborhood against a former patron will move forward after a judge this week refused to dismiss the case.
The lawsuit stems from a viral TikTok video that Julia Reel posted in which she claimed she was pushed and thrown down a staircase by a staff member during a night out in March.Hubbard Inn responded to the allegations by releasing its own TikTok, which shows Reel being calmly escorted out of the venue. The restaurant asserts that Reel’s claims were false and damaged its reputation, prompting them to file the defamation suit.
In a statement after the judge’s decision, Hubbard Inn said, in part, "We’re pleased that the judge agrees that there are important issues at stake here and that our case can proceed."Reel, however, maintains that the restaurant’s video is misleading and doesn’t show the full incident.
