PITTSBURGH, Jan. 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- In a lawsuit recently filed in U.S. federal court, NoFap accuses Pornhub of engaging in an illegal operation to discredit and retaliate against dozens of addiction recovery resources, scientists, clinicians, sexual exploitation survivors, whistleblowers, lawsuit witnesses, journalists, and critics. The 208-page complaint alleges a wide-ranging campaign by Pornhub's parent company Aylo, its trade association Free Speech Coalition, two academics, and other alleged collaborators. The complaint alleges that pornography industry associates have targeted the plaintiffs for over a decade, including filing false law enforcement and administrative reports, posting thousands of defamatory statements online, conducting intrusive opposition research, relaying disinformation to journalists, staging hoaxes, and astroturfing Wikipedia pages. The complaint claims that there are at least 70 identified victims of similar conduct. The complaint further asserts that the pornography industry has engaged in a long-running operation to suppress scientific research, influence academics, publish industry-aligned papers to manufacture the appearance of controversy, pressure professional organizations, and obstruct governmental regulation such as age verification. The lawsuit currently names four Aylo entities as defendants, alongside two academics alleged to be covertly collaborating with the pornography industry. Taylor & Francis (a publisher) and UCLA (a university) are also named as defendants and are accused of aiding and abetting aspects of the other defendants' conduct. 17 causes of action are asserted, including racketeering, civil conspiracy, unfair competition, trademark dilution, defamation, and breach of contract. NoFap's founder Alexander Rhodes said, "This lawsuit isn't only to prevent porn industry leadership from shutting down our peer-support platform. It's about protecting scientists, clinicians, educators, and others who fear career harm or retaliation for speaking about pornography's potential effects, including behavioral addiction and sexual dysfunction. For years, a chilling effect has skewed academia and coverage on this topic. Moreover, this case is about ensuring millions of people worldwide who want to quit or reduce pornography use can obtain support without interference." Lead counsel David Kobylinski stated, "The pornography industry is borrowing from the 1950s tobacco industry's playbook. We hope this case triggers governmental oversight and, where warranted, criminal investigations." Case Information: Rhodes et al. v. Aylo Holdings, S.A.R.L. (d/b/a Pornhub), et al., No. 2:25-cv-01956 (W.D. Pa.). About NoFap: Founded in 2011, NoFap is a secular, evidence-based, inclusive, and sex-positive peer-support website for individuals seeking to reduce or quit pornography use.

PARIS, LONDON and NEW YORK, Jan. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- AMTD Group Inc. ("AMTD Group"), AMTD IDEA Group (NYSE: AMTD; SGX: HKB), AMTD Digital Inc. (NYSE: HKD) and The Generation Essentials Group ("TGE", NYSE: TGE; LSE: TGE), a subsidiary of AMTD Digital Inc., jointly announce that AMTD IDEA Group has commenced legal action against Mr Benjamin Eymere of the Jalou Family, in connection with serious defamatory action against the Group, as well as misconduct including bad faith harassment of the Group's staff and executives. Mr Eymere was a former employee of a subsidiary of the Group, and he was summarily dismissed due to his misconduct and mismanagement. He attempted to file an appeal in the Paris Court, but his actions have been continuously dismissed. Moreover, Mr Eymere's recent actions involving misconduct and bad faith have required AMTD to take legal actions, importantly to correct baseless allegations and misstatements in relation to the Group's L'Officiel and AMTD IDEA brands, which have been recently mentioned in certain press and social media publications. AMTD has already made formal reports to law enforcement authorities in connection with Mr Eymere's present and past misconduct. AMTD firmly believes that the rule of law and fairness and justice will prevail, and looks forward to correcting and dispelling any slander or defamatory statements which might have been made against it. On an overall basis, we take the opportunity to highlight certain evident inaccuracies in certain press and social media induced by Mr Eymere and/or the Jalou family: 1) The Duly Completed Acquisition of 100% of L'Officiel in 2022 : The L'Officiel Brand was acquired in 2022 primarily from Gem Global Yield LLC SCS (GGY), which is part of Global Emerging Markets (GEM), a $3.4 billion alternative investment group, focusing on emerging markets with diverse investment vehicles like management buyouts, PIPE's (Private Investments in Public Equities), and venture investments (see official announcements by GEM as lead seller https://www.gemny.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/GEM-AMTD-PRESS-RELEASE-from-Paris-France-FINAL-Version.pdf and AMTD as the buyer https://ir.amtdinc.com/press-releases/news-details/2022/AMTD-International-Acquires-Global-Fashion-Media-Group-LOfficiel-Inc-SAS/default.aspx, in which both sides confirm that the AMTD acquisition has been completed with 100% of purchase price duly paid). 2) Since the AMTD's acquisition as a "white knight" investor, L'Officiel has not incurred any debt or engaged in liabilities for business, and L'Officiel nowadays is financially strong with solid equity base 3) The controlling shareholder from which AMTD acquired the business was GEM, not the Jalou family, nor Mr Eymere. The Jalou family was not a controller nor a majority shareholder in L'Officiel at the time of acquisition. AMTD would also strongly emphasize that it will tirelessly prosecute and continue legal action against any wrongdoers which seek to harm its reputation and breach the law. We are confident that our perseverance and commitment will inevitably bring justice and fairness, without reservations.

PARIS and NEW YORK and LONDON, Jan. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- AMTD Group Inc. ("AMTD Group"), AMTD IDEA Group (NYSE: AMTD; SGX: HKB), AMTD Digital Inc. (NYSE: HKD) and The Generation Essentials Group ("TGE", NYSE: TGE; LSE: TGE) jointly announce on launching litigation against Inna Bazhenova and Gleb Ibragimov for Intimidation, Malicious Falsehood, Breach of Confidence and Consequential Loss and Damage. In 2023, AMTD Group acquired The Art Newspaper from Ms Inna Bazhenova, who personally published an article about the successful completion of the deal at the time: https://www.theartnewspaper.com/2023/10/25/statement-by-inna-bazhenova-publisher-the-art-newspaper. The consideration for the transaction was fully paid, and the deal was duly closed and completed. The consideration comprised cash and certain shares in listed companies of AMTD Group, some of which were subject to a lock-up period ("Lock Up Shares") under the Sales and Purchase agreement (the "Agreement"). At all material times, the Lock Up Shares have been registered in the names of Ms Bazhenova and her business partner and advisor, Mr Gleb Ibragimov, who was allocated a part of the shares by Ms Bazhenova. Despite this, Ms Bazhenova and Mr Ibragimov commenced legal action in Hong Kong on 27 December 2024, making certain claims in relation to the transaction. They applied for an asset preservation order over the Lock Up Shares, despite clear evidence that the shares are registered in their names, as confirmed to them by letters from the independent registrar of the shares. On 20 June 2025, the Hong Kong High Court fully dismissed their application for an asset preservation order, and imposed a costs order of HK$773,000 against them. On 21 November 2025, their entire legal action was dismissed, with the costs of the whole action ordered against them. Subsequently, in January 2026, Mr Ibragimov—in his own capacity and/or for and on behalf of Ms Bazhenova—issued messages to AMTD Group, indicating readiness to breach the Agreement and/or their duty of confidence by disclosing matters relating to the Agreement to third parties, including journalists, unless AMTD Group agrees to a resolve matters concerning the Lock Up Shares in favour of Ms Bazhenova. The above conducts and actions have been reported to law enforcement authorities by AMTD and The Art Newspaper. As a result of the above, AMTD Group has suffered loss and damage. Therefore, as advised by Gibson Dunn, AMTD Group has promptly commenced legal action against Ms Bazhenova and Mr Ibragimov, and is committed to enforcing its legal rights against both individuals to the fullest extent possible. Furthermore, AMTD Group wishes to reiterate our persistence and dedication towards ensuring that justice and fairness prevail against any and all perpetrators of malicious and intimidating acts against AMTD Group and its related companies and individuals, and towards procuring all possible remedies and penalties against such malicious actors.

"We sincerely respect and thank the Chinese judicial authorities affirming the severity of the violations. This outcome fully reflects the importance China places on intellectual property protection. It sends a crucial signal to the entire industry about respecting and adhering to the rules, and it strengthens our convictions about deepening our commitment to the Chinese market," said Simon Kim, CEO of CLO Virtual Fashion.
