Nikko D'Ambrosio, 32, has taken legal action against dozens of women, to the tune of $75 million.
On the popular Facebook page "Are We Dating the Same Guy", numerous women called D'Ambrosio "clingy" and pegged him as a "serial ghoster", detailing stories of their short-lived flings.
D’Ambrosio’s lawsuit targets 27 named women, including moderators of the group, as well as Facebook’s parent company, Meta, claiming the posts have negatively affected his work.
Anonymous Allegations Against D'Ambrosio... The "Serial Ghoster"
The Facebook page "Are We Dating The Same Guy" started in New York City, serving as a platform for women to share their negative dating experiences and seek advice. However, according to D'Ambrosio's complaint, the women's posts contained defamatory comments about him, resulting in significant damage to his reputation.
Nikko D'Ambrosio has come forward with allegations following a "consensual" encounter he had with a woman he met at a Chicago event.
According to D'Ambrosio, their relationship did not progress to exclusivity, but the woman took to the "Are We Dating The Same Guy" Facebook group to make defamatory comments about him.
But, according to D’Ambrosio's lawsuit, he shared he first met the woman who made the original post (above) at an event in Chicago last year -- and they had consensual sex that same night.
The comments on the Facebook page included claims of clinginess and inappropriate behaviour. The woman's allegations sparked a chain reaction, with other women sharing similar encounters and warnings about D'Ambrosio.
And, has become the basis of D'Ambrosio's $75 million lawsuit...
D'Ambrosio's Grounds for Legal Action
The negative comments and posts on the "Are We Dating The Same Guy" Facebook group have allegedly had a significant impact on Nikko D'Ambrosio's reputation. The widespread sharing of his name and photo on the page has tarnished his image and led to a negative public perception of him as a "ghoster," someone who abruptly ends romantic relationships without explanation or communication.
One screenshot, cited in the lawsuit, shows 3 women sharing their experiences with D'Ambrosio [see image below]:
"I matched with him a month or so ago but the convo never went anywhere." -- [Nicole Morisco]
"I went out with him a few times just over a year ago- he told me what I wanted to hear until I slept with him and then he ghosted... I'd steer clear." -- [Hannah Eve]
"He's been posted here before. The poster said he sent her a slew of texts calling her names because she didn't want to spend the night with him. I just searched and this was on November 2nd so take a look!" -- [Marnie Knouse]
D'Ambrosio claims this damaging public perception has not only affected his personal life but professional life, as well. Potential employers and business partners may come across these online posts, leading to doubts and concerns about his character and reliability.

The Wider Context of Online Dating
The "Are We Dating The Same Guy" Facebook page is part of a broader network of pages that aim to create a community where women can share their online dating experiences.

However, the recent lawsuit against D'Ambrosio sheds light on the potential consequences of these online interactions. It highlights how false or defamatory comments made on platforms like this can have a significant impact on individuals' lives and reputations.
