Mario Lopez 'Completely Lost It' During Explosive Court Appearance

In an interview with Radar Online, Desiree Townsend shared a shocking account of what allegedly unfolded during a recent court hearing over Mario Lopez's attempt to secure a permanent restraining order against her.

Townsend and Lopez are currently locked in a $25 million defamation battle, which she initiated in June.

In response, Lopez filed for a temporary restraining order and appeared in court this week seeking to make it permanent.

According to Townsend, the entire courtroom turned chaotic when Lopez took the witness stand during the hearing.

She claimed that Lopez "completely lost it" and was screaming, an outburst she said left her feeling threatened and shaken.

"He screamed, actually screamed, on the witness stand," Townsend recalled to the news outlet. "He was so 'p-ssed' as he categorized it that the judge had to calm him down."

She further noted that Lopez "had a full-blown outburst," adding that he called her "crazy," "unhinged," and a "stalker."

In 2024, Lopez shared a throwback clip of the ex-cheerleader-turned-paralegal on Instagram, sarcastically writing, "There's gotta be some kind of award for this performance," while adding the hashtags #MethodActor and #OscarWorthy.

In the over 15-year-old clip, Townsend appeared to slur her speech and dance erratically in front of the camera.

She later explained to an outlet, Inside Edition, that her behavior was due to a rare neurological condition, dystonia.

The cheerleader reportedly developed the ailment after taking a seasonal flu shot at the time.

After the video went viral following Lopez's repost, Townsend filed a lawsuit against him, accusing the TV host of using a false statement that severely harmed both her personal and professional reputation.

According to reports, Townsend also alleged that she suffered "emotional distress" and "online harassment" due to the remark.

She deemed it as dehumanizing and defaming to "a woman living with a rare neurological disability."

"The timing, tone, and scale of the attack support a reasonable inference that Lopez is familiar with deploying reputational warfare as a tool of intimidation, particularly when facing potential exposure," Townsend mentioned in her lawsuit.

Instead of sending a process server alone to deliver court papers to Lopez, Townsend chose to accompany the server during the delivery.

She later shared a video of the tense encounter with Radar Online, which showed her telling a shirtless Lopez, "You've been served" and "See you in court" as the process server placed the documents in the front yard of his home.

Lopez, upset by the unexpected confrontation at his residence, responded by obtaining a temporary restraining order before moving forward with a request for a permanent one.

He claimed in court documents that he was "harmed" by the interaction with Townsend and that she caused "chaos and fear for his young children and family members who witnessed the event."

Lopez also accused Townsend of escalating the harm by sharing on social media a video of her serving him, which exposed his personal address to the world and placed him and his family at "risk of further harassment, public ridicule, and potential physical danger."

That face is entering its Super Mario claymation era.

Never forget.

And to be honest, the cheerleader sounds nuts.

Did Mario know her previous to his post about her online? Or was it just like a random thing he posted showing a girl who appeared to be drunk (but apparently had 'dystonia' from a vax)?

Girl both parties in this proceeding are nuts

Does he really have $25 million to his name?

I thought he was married to Jennifer Lopez but it turns out he's married to Kelly Ripa.

KAAAWWWEEEN!

The closet kills

Ok, that sounds true...

Okay, so this broad clearly loves the dramatics because there's no other explanation for doing this. Why would you accompany the process server to Mario's home and then film yourself cussing him out? Especially when the basis of your lawsuit is damage to your personal reputation? Do you think this doesn't look slightly insane? Let the lawyers do their jobs instead of proving Mario's point.

If I were the judge, I would dismiss her lawsuit based on principle. You can't be that worried about your reputation when you live your life like a reality show.

I'm no fan of Lopez (though I'd have fucked him anytime 30 years ago) but R11 has a point. She chose to do that and it does beg the question of who might need a restraining order against whom.

as a man, i don't understand how he isn't suicidally ashamed for being such a cornball ham brown noser

Can’t remember why I listened, but years ago Mario went on Mike Huckabee’s radio show. This was late Obama era, so when huck was a very visible, very anti-gay bigot. Mario kept wink winking to him about how he and many he knew in Hollywood are much more conservative than they let own. I’ve never been able to see him in the same light.

Another frivolous lawsuit by some nobody.

As if this video has prevented her from getting $25 million in work. This shit should be thrown out by judges - I can't believe I had moved forward.

But she thinks that since she's a paralegal, she can get her attorneys to go for this.

I'm tired of all of these people claiming abuse and other things.

In what world does Mario Lopez have 25 million dollars?

R16 - I believe the lawsuit was originally $100 million, believe it or not.

It's an overreach ploy so that he will settle for several hundred thousand or so to make it go away.

Smear a famous person's name in order to get money - or sometimes they don't have to be famous.

I feel like this should be illegal and the cases should be kept sealed before a verdict - no press at all.

This post hurt my brain.

Therefore, I’ll be suing R7 for emotional distress.

Team russdog!

He's another one that went from hot to creepy in a relatively short amount of time.

The best way to make these suits go away, is to demand that the plaintiff pay both sides' court expenses 100% if the judge finds that the plaintiff had zero justification for filing the case in the first place. And then back that up with seizure of assets in order to pay, if necessary.

Yeah both crazy but a welcome distraction.

R18 I will throw dildos at you.

$25 million. She lost me with that one.

He still hasn’t shown his uncut cock yet?

[quote] Another frivolous lawsuit by some nobody.

I have no idea what you're talking about.

Is this the former 'Redskinette" who claimed the flu vaccine caused her to speak in a British accent among other side effects?

Are you bitches serious?

(And yeah, I agree with everything posted here about her.)

But what the fuck was he thinking reposting that video of her whether he knew her or not?

Stupidly, as soon as his finger pushed the button activating that video, he assumed the risk of getting smacked back. And she did. That's on him.

"Hmmm, you mean social media allows me to type or send out to the world any damn fool, half-baked, ill-advised thought or act? And I don't get to regulate their reaction to what I post?"

Fuck that. I self-cancelled long ago because the last thing I needed was to do that to myself or anybody else.

And that's stood me in good stead. And no, my DL subscription doesn't count. I'm joining it, not self-creating my own platform.

R28 - it was a widely-circulated video - he did nothing illegal or defamatory.

And he may not even be in charge of his social media accounts - most likely. Could have been his staff.

Good questions, r4. The article is, predictably, terribly written and doesn’t give us necessary context.

[Quote] The best way to make these suits go away, is to demand that the plaintiff pay both sides' court expenses 100% if the judge finds that the plaintiff had zero justification for filing the case in the first place.

This is the rule in the courts of England and Wales.

It’s not the rule in the U.S. — it’s considered to have a chilling effect on people who’ve been wronged. They might not seek redress they deserve, for fear the jury might not see the issue and decide against you. People who have been wronged do lose court cases sometimes.

But you can put it in contracts in the U.S. it’s called “the English rule” here.

Another aging FAG.

A friend of mine dated him in the 90s. She was gorgeous! She broke up with him because "he was the dumbest individual I've ever met".

Said he had big one, though.

r28 he reposted, he didn't film her. He shared a video and since he was famous, she went after him. Why isn't she suing the doctor who gave her the flu shot, the drug company that developed t, the original poster of the video? I am no Mario Lopez fan, he is a Trumpster, cheating piece of shit but in this one case I side with him.

That face is on the rocks.

A friend worked on a photo shoot with him for a fitness magazine:

"Exactly what you'd imagine and more. Conceited and so dumb."

R29, The video itself isn't the issue , the stupid comment that he posted with the video set this nonsense off. Even if he has staff who write his social media, he is still responsible for what's posted. So far he hasn't claimed that someone else wrote it. It's all a play for money but he is an idiot for putting himself in this position.

"In 2024, Lopez shared a throwback clip of the ex-cheerleader-turned-paralegal on Instagram, sarcastically writing, "There's gotta be some kind of award for this performance," while adding the hashtags #MethodActor and #OscarWorthy."

R37 - reposting found videos on the internet is not a crime and does not prove malicious intent or defamation.

Ridiculous. Now let us allow famous people to go after individual citizens for reposting clips about THEM.

I don’t get why he would post it randomly either. No mention if they ever knew each other before.

She’s crazy but I also am glad she’s going after him. He thought he was cool and exempt from contraversy. Pay through the nose closet gay dad.

Mario con Ryan-Forever

I think the best course of action would be for Mario to sit on my face for a long weekend.

I just want to suck his dick. That TV movie of Greg Louganis life advertised a big Lopez dick in that Speedo.

R38, I said the video was NOT the issue. Do you have comprehension issues? Let me repeat for the slow-witted moron: the video was not the problem. It was his comments posted with the video that she is suing over.

In case you still don't get it :

"Mario Lopez is currently being sued for defamation by former NFL cheerleader Desiree Townsend. The lawsuit stems from an Instagram post where Lopez commented on a news clip about Townsend's neurological disorder, making seemingly sarcastic remarks and implying she might be faking her condition. Townsend is seeking $25 million in damages."

Not the fucking video, the fucking comment, okay?

Nobody gives a shit.

R45, you seem to give a shit since you have posted several times on this thread.

Nobody giv…

I think R47, is having a stroke. Sadly for him, nobody gives a shit.

Is he Samoan?!

What is this guy's story? I remember he was supposed to be a heart-throb on Saved by the Bell but even my horny teen self who got aroused by a mild breeze found him repellant. Then he married some girl who was in a potato chip commercial but then didn't come home on their wedding night so the union was annulled. And now he's married to an emaciated woman who looks like she hasn't had a good dickin' in decades. That's the extent of what I know.

So, what gives? I assume a closet case? In which case... which of you hoors have had him?

I admit I jerked off a time or three to him in his jheri curl SBTB days. Now he unfortunately looks like an aging Chinese lady.

He's always creeped me out. It's the perma-smile and dead eyes. He looks like he travels to a 3rd world country every year and pays to torture/hunt people.

[quote] Mario Lopez 'Completely Lost It'

Mario has always looked to me, like someone who is completely seething with anger, just below the surface.

He always seems "on," and it totally seems like a phony performance that he's putting on.

So "happy," and cheerful. Yeah, right.

Why do people think he's gay?

They don't

By the way, i should point out that the English Rule i referred to in r31 cuts both ways. So if you lose you pay the legal expenses of the other party — even if you’re the defendant.

This is frequently added to NDAs. If someone gets your private information as part of a business transaction, and they’re only suooosed to use it for a limited purpose (such as evaluating whether they want to lend money to someone), but they take your information and exploit it for their gain otherwise, they are in breach of their nda, but it’s going to cost you a lot of money to sue them.

So the person providing the information will insist that the nda says you’ll pay their legal expenses if they sue you and win.

As a bank attorney who gets these ndas a lot from companies, I usually try to take it out. Sometimes they accept the change, but the provider is usually pretty firm about wanting it.

My friend was an editor for a teen mag in the 90s'.

Mario had a Saturday morning show called "Adventures with Mario" that didn't last too long. The premise was Mario would go do an interesting job each week. Bop magazine was one of those fun jobs.

Anyway, they filmed at the office and I got to go as my friends' assistant.

At that point he seemed kinda dumb but sweet. And there wasn't a drop of sexuality. None. Like Ken doll, very smooth and shiny.

I bet his ass tastes like caramel 😋

Wasn't there an entire thread here about Mario being really well hung?

Our next Republican President

[quote] Wasn't there an entire thread here about Mario being really well hung?

Mexican guys are usually thick and girthy, but not really hung.

He was hot when he was younger. Now he just looks like plastic. He’s also a deplorable, so no need to lust over him. Plenty of hot non-MAGA guys to get off to

Mario Lopez lost "it" a long time ago, around the same time that he lost his soul.
