Underhill sued for defamation on social media

Pro Watercross and its managing member Anthony Handler have filed a lawsuit against former Escambia County Commissioner Doug Underhill for defamation over allegedly false and defamatory statements made by Underhill on social media.

Some of the statements alleged to have been posted by Underhill:

“[O]ld, lying and deceiving AJ is part of the generation who sucked the [sport] dry. Smart money is on the young guy this is in it for the right reason.”

“[W]hat AJ is doing in our community must be called out publicly. It’s a toxin in our sport.”

“AJ Handler…has burned bridges with racers, sponsors, and venues. Today he had 22 registrants…he is the single worst influence on this sport, petty and vindictive.”
