In 2018, the atheist [[Hemant Mehta]] wrote about the defamation lawsuits related to sexual harassment allegations against Richard Carrier:
{{Cquote|The lawsuit began in September of 2016, when Dr. Richard Carrier..., the author of several books about ancient philosophy, religion, and science, sued individual atheists, Freethought Blogs and The Orbit (atheist blog networks), and the Skepticon conference on charges of defamation, interference with his business, and emotional distress. Those charges stemmed from posts made about his alleged sexual harassment, an accusation he repeatedly denied.<ref>[https://friendlyatheist.patheos.com/2018/11/15/judge-dismisses-richard-carriers-defamation-lawsuit-against-atheist-bloggers/ Judge Dismisses Richard Carrier’s Defamation Lawsuit Against Atheist Bloggers] BY HEMANT MEHTA</ref>}}
Mehta also wrote:
{{Cquote|In all three lawsuits, Carrier is asking the Court for damages worth $1.3 million — that’s nearly $4 million in total — in addition to legal costs, interest, and anything else the Courts deem fit. He’s also filing all three lawsuits on his own — without the help of a lawyer (at least one who’s listed in the complaints).<ref>[https://friendlyatheist.patheos.com/2019/05/08/dr-richard-carrier-has-again-sued-several-atheists-on-charges-of-defamation/ Dr. Richard Carrier Has (Again) Sued Several Atheists on Charges of Defamation] BY HEMANT MEHTA</ref>}}
