Journalist Filed a Class Action Lawsuit Against Grammarly in New York Federal Court Over 'Expert Review' Feature

A journalist filed a class action lawsuit against the parent company of Grammarly, alleging that Grammarly "misappropriated the names and identities of hundreds of authors, editors, journalists and writers to earn profits for the company."

Class Action Lawsuit filed against Superhuman Platform Inc.

According to Remio, investigative journalist Julia Angwin filed a class action lawsuit on March 11, 2026 against Superhuman Platform Inc., the parent company of Grammarly. The lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York.

It states that Grammarly "targets a specific feature launched in August 2025, known as "expert review." Within the $12 monthly pro subscription, expert review uses large language models (AI) to generate writing feedback while giving credit of that advice to "real, recognizable journalists and writers and subject matter experts" without their consent -- and "used to sell software subscriptions."

In response, Superhuman Platform Inc. CEO Shishir Mehrotra issued a public apology on LinkedIn and disabled the "expert review" feature.

Grammarly Class Action Lawsuit Covers Only Certain Individuals 

To be clear, the Grammarly class action lawsuit only covers individuals whose name and identity was misappropriated for commercial gain. It doesn't not cover those who paid $12 for the pro subscription. The quick filing of the class action lawsuit "put a nail in the coffin" for the expert review feature.

At the heart of the lawsuit, Grammarly required the "experts" whose identities were being misappropriated to email customer support to have their names removed from the AI prompt outputs.

The class action lawsuit seeks over $5 million in damages from Superhuman Platform Inc. (parent company of Grammarly) for the unauthorized commercial exploitation of journalists, authors and writers.

The state of New York has strict commercial protections against the unauthorized use of a person's name, image, or likeness for profit without their agreement.

Investigation into a Fraudulent NJ Dentistry Practice

People reported that Ana Amato was arrested on Feb. 19 after a "months-long" investigation into her dentistry that began after charging a man $1,000 for a root canal. The man found her services from an ad on WhatsApp.

The South River Police Department Chief Mark Tinitigan said the following in a press release:

"This is certainly not the type of case we see every day, but it affirms our officers approach every call - routine or not - with the same level of professionalism and commitment to public safety."

Sgt. Peter Roselli and Officer Peter Szukics from the South River Police Department took a report, which first appeared to be a routine call. They quickly learned it was not a normal dispute between two people. 

During that call, the police officers discovered revealing information that Amato may have been performing dental procedures without a proper license.

Detective Patrick Molina then spent months looking into the incident, and the police determined that Ana Amato of Old Bridge was practicing dentistry without a license.

A Man Found out Mid-Root Canal She Would Not Finish the Procedure

After seeing an ad in a WhatsApp group chat, a man agreed to pay the unlicensed Amato $1,000, with a $300 down payment for a root canal. He went to her office on Sept. 22, 2025. She proceeded to inject his gums with an anesthetic and then began drilling into his affected tooth. Then, mid-session, she "abruptly" stopped and told the man to come back later in the week so she could finish the procedure.

Before he came back to her office for the remainder of the procedure, Amato allegedly told the man that she "wouldn't be able to do it and gave him a list of local dentists." At this point, the two "got into an altercation," because she would not return his down payment. 

He then took his complaint about the unlicensed Amato to the local police station.

The South River Police Department executed a search warrant at Ana Amato's office on Feb. 19, 2026, where she was arrested and items were seized for the investigation.

Amato was charged with second-degree aggravated assault, third-degree unlawful practice of dentistry, and third-degree financial facilitation of criminal activity.

Class Action Lawsuit Against Logan Paul Was Dismissed

In the 2023 CryptoZoo case, Plaintiffs alleged that CryptoZoo failed to deliver after buying NFTs and tokens for a blockchain based game that never launched. Paul promoted CryptoZoo in 2021 as a play-to-earn game where users could buy "egg" NFTs, hatch out virtual animals, and then "earn money" by breeding and trading them. 

The game was never completed. In 2023, a class-action lawsuit was filed in Texas where Paul and his associates were accused of fraud, a breach of contract. Investors claimed that a "rug pull" happened because the project raised money and then never came to fruition.

In late October 2025, a judge dismissed the claims against Logan Paul in the CryptoZoo lawsuit.

Logan Paul Sues Coffeezilla for Defamation

Logan Paul launched a lawsuit against YouTuber Coffeezilla, which has a trial date set for April 2026. Coffeezilla is a moniker of YouTuber Stephen Findeisen, who released "investigative" YouTube videos accusing Paul of fraud in the CryptoZoo debacle.

Paul is seeking financial damages and legal costs against Findeisen after being accused of running a fraudulent scheme and "damaging his reputation."

Paul went on The Iced Coffee Hour Podcast and warns people that call him a scammer.

Users on Yahoo! weighed in with their opinions. Read a few below.

User "Whatever" said: "With all the things people call you and your brother. SCAMMER is a compliment."

David M. wrote: "Maybe the Scammer should read the 1st amendment."

Louie wrote: "You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time.”

this guys a big joke stop following him all he does is take your money"

Juan Carlos said: "Fine, how about conman or grifter?"

Raymond commented, "So he doesn't like being called a scammer, how about grifter?"

Jaime wrote: "He is a scammer, if people didn't get all their money back, then it's obviously a scam. I don't see how he looks at it any different. Only a scammer would look at it as if they weren't scamming somebody and come up with excuses. He is a scammer..."
