Amanda Bonnen was sued for allegedly posting on her Twitter account a "tweet" that accuses her management company of being OK with moldy apartments.
According to the suit filed Monday in Cook County Circuit Court Bonnen wrote an update that said "Who said sleeping in a moldy apartment was bad for you? Horizon realty thinks it's okay."
Because Bonnen's Twitter account is set to "public," everyone following on Twitter can view the defamatory statement, the suit said.
The suit went on to say Horizon Group Management has been greatly injured in its reputation as a landlord in Chicago because of Bonnen's Tweet.
Horizon Group Management seeks an excess of $50,000 in damages.
So, as the title of this posting says, “Be careful what you Tweet.”
Actually, you could be sued for what you say anywhere on the Internet such as in Facebook postings or for postings on any of the other social networking websites as well as blog postings.
