SPIKE THE DRAGON WINS DEFAMATION CASE AGAINST PRINCESS SPARKLE

A Ponyville jury has found Princess Twilight Sparkle guilty of defamation against Spike the Dragon in a groundbreaking case that has detailed the years of abuse the princess' assistant has endured at the hands of the Princess of Friendship.

"She took a dump on my bed while drunk and demanded I send the letter to Celestia," Spike testified as he detailed one particularly egregious example of domestic abuse.

Princess Sparkle, in a statement after the verdict was rendered, conceded that having Flim and Flam as her legal team might not have been the best of decisions.

"Twilight did say she wanted to eliminate all Earth Ponies-"
"Hearsay!"
"That was part of her testimony yesterday."
"Hearsay!"
"...Overruled."

Equally puzzling seemed to be Spike's choice of legal representation.

"I'm not a lawyer, but I played one during a tour in Las Pegasus," commented the dragon's lawyer Trixie Lulamoon.

Twilight's legal fees and compensation to Spike is quite expensive, numbering in the millions of bits, in addition to her fledgling acting career likely to never recover. Her latest appearance in the upcoming Aquamare 2 is already rumored to be heavily downplayed, if not cut out entirely following these revelations.

Special thanks to Kaidan for helping me whip this one up in fifteen minutes.

This verdict should be a huge symbolic victory to all men who have been in abusive relationships and were ignored or not believed purely because of their gender.

I hope the Pirates and Fantastic Beasts franchises never recover because those studios decided to side with rumors and hearsay before the truth came out.
