Alice Glass has claimed she’s beaten her former Crystal Castles bandmate Ethan Kath in court for the second time, after his appeal in his previously dismissed defamation lawsuit was denied.
Kath had attempted to sue Glass after she accused him of “a decade of abuse, manipulation and psychological control”. Following her statement, the Toronto Police Service confirmed they were investigating Kath via their sex crimes unit.
Exclaim reports Glass won by successfully proving her public comments against Kath fell under the U.S. First Amendment, which defends the right to free speech, as well as being made in the public interest. Kath was unable to produce further evidence to support his defamation claim, with Glass perusing him for $20,000 in legal fees.
In a new update, Glass explains that “the bullshit lawsuit by my former bandmate was one again denied in his appeal attempt today.”
“Now he goes us legal fees,” she added.

Glass followed up by tweeting an official line from her lawyer, which you can read below.
heres the official from my lawyer for those who speak legal stuff.. "The court denied his request to vacate the judgment that dismissed his lawsuit. The judgment remains in our favor. The court also granted our request for attorney’s fees and costs" ..so he lost and owes me $$
