He has defamed my character. Directly himself calls me a stripper. Also he has photos of my 14 year old son and originally referred to him as a child from Dubai but after I wrote him to take this down. He blurred my face and said my son was a bean. Racist too
This site is sick and twisted. Attacking people whom have made mistakes is wrong and so harmful. Some of these people have children. What are their kids going to say or feel when they see their parents on here and some of the awful things written about them
It's horrible that it is legal to give bullies a platform to spew lies and defame others. Sick.
It's horrible that it is legal to give bullies a platform to spew lies and defame others. Sick.
I'm getting bullied on there too
Nick is making money while the Victims are getting defamed and cyber bullied by this website ? What the hell
Shut down this awful hurtful site. my name was posted on that site and it was NOT me who posted on their and my name was used against peple I care about! People lie on that site and seriously harm other peoples reputations! Out of respect and dignity towards humans on this earth. RESPECT for humanity shut this site down!!!
destroying peoples lives is unethical
This site promotes hate crimes, racism and anger. It is the biggest Cyber Bully Site out there... WHY cant anything be done about this. I find that in our world today this is sick like someone who caught a disease and was able to spread it to the world. We are teaching our society that if someone makes you mad you are allowed to personally attack someone's name and character for no other reason then they felt like it. They have opened the door to slaughter house and its sick. People should be held accountable for there accusations and accountable for the Cyber Bulling that goes on here. Is it just a site where someone can blow steam off or is it hate site where you can bash people anonymously and take no responsibility for it. Well In Canada as of 2015 March 10th some new laws come into place for Cyber Bulling but this site is still up we need it down. This is a site to create hate for people who would normally do nothing any ways so why must we entertain it any-more.. BRING IT DOWN !!! STOP THE HATE!!!!
Shut This Site Down!!!!! It's a horrible and immature way to put someone down, drag them through the mud, whatever the case. No one deserves to be plastered like this.
It's harassment and bullying and not ok.
Harassment and bullying not ok
Shut this site down
This is human nature at its worst!
Discusting. Ban it
Terrible. Ban it
Terrible how this is still operating.
My daughter is being slammed on this site and wants to go to law school.
The website in question promotes cyber bullying. Take a stand against it!!!
This is a horrible site we can do without
Why focus on slanderous negativity? This is of no benefit to our society and it needs to go away.
This is awful! Thank you for starting this petition!
This is long overdue. This site has ruined lives. It has caused too much pain. Its time to shut it down.
This woman isn't any of these lies. My heart goes out to her. Please help get this removed.
Take it down!
TheDirty website is absolutely slanderous, cruel, and needs to be taken down. The owner needs to be accountable for his actions. Absolutely a disgusting website.
This site is nothing but an outlet for cyber bullying. Freedom of speech is a serious stretch for the allowing of this website.
Horrible!
Nik is sick!
Shut it down! Disgusting site!
It's disgusting! It is a form of harassment regardless of it being true or not! We need to stand up! Take it down!
Shut it down!
hate it
cyberbullying needs to be taken more seriously
It's horrible
Hope thedirty shuts down!
I have personally been a victim to this site and it's ridiculous it hasn't been shut down! We need to shut this site down now!!!
i am a victim of this cyber-bulliying site and it has done a number on my reputation just like others who are victims of this website and this site needs to be taken down , also Hooman Karamian a.k.a Nik Richie should be locked behind bars for creating such a website
Terrible site to terrible people.
Shit it down why harass people and haunt their lives forever
Excellent petition! More than 1,500 signatures is fantastic! After visiting this site, it is terrible and even immature. Its well below immature. A website like this is domestic terrorism. Destroyed more young Americans from terrorist groups and hostile foreign powers. I wonder if Hoomian Karamian (Nik Richie) should sleep well, benefiting from the destruction of American lives? Did he ever served the country? He said that he's a freedom of expression activist, but thats no reason to attack innocent people. In addition to this excellent petition, the people affected by this and other negative sites can: 1. Contact a Representative / Senator (or member of parliament) and ask for the "right to be forgotten", which is provided in more countries and / or revision or repeal of section 230 of the DCMA 2. Contact the companies that advertise on this site and ask why they support the destruction of young lives? Emails or communicate by other means. 3. Contact Google and ask why their search algorithms allow waste to appear so high in search results? They have direct control over that. You can also ask them to remove the defamatory webpage (they can say no, but as they get more applications, they need to pay more attention). Nina and commentators...you're much better than those who create and contribute to this crap. Better days are coming ...
Regardless If this site is operating legally, it is still a testament to how ridiculous things are in this world. I understand there are bad people who may deserve an outing, but the fact that a generally good person's life may be affected negatively based on the fact someone was a little slighted is disturbing.
Fuck Nik Richie!!
If you want to sabotage them and get the site down, petitioning isn't going to do it because no one cares since there's no money to be made off of protecting your feelings or privacy...yes, life sucks huh? But there is money in copyrights and the USA's copyright laws are the strongest in the country. Thedirty's weakness in the immunity they have from lawsuits is the photos they steal, not your private information or the harassment you receive. Got it? Because the same laws that protect that $10 million movie also protect that photo you took at New Years Eve. Attack them with DMCA takedowns. Don't stop attacking either. Get a tor browser, go use the wifi at Mcdonald's or Panera, then make claims that the copyright to various amounts of their content is yours. Like that logo or that advertisement? Make a DMCA takedown about it. Fuck it, they can' find you and the third parties involved have to comply or they'll potentially get dragged into a suit themselves. Use a fake name, address, email, etc in the DMCA takedowns. Google and thedirty's ISP (check whois.com...last I checked awhile back it was godaddy) HAVE to remove the content for 10 days, upon which it will be restored with a counter notification by them. DO NOT CONTACT thedirty.com. Contact the 3rd parties that are facilitating them. Make them work for their content as so much of it is stolen anyways...think of it as a modern day robin hood! BTW- the person who is holding the camera owns the copyright to the photo. If you are holding it, or your friend was, just have them file a real one. It is YOUR photo, you took it, you own, they stole it. You have 30 days from the time you discover the photo is infringing (aka discover on the site) to file a copyright with the US. At that point, you can get punitive damages and attorney's fees...copyright infringement is like speeding, strict liability. Very easy case to fight because attorney's will take it on contingencies since there is so much money to be made in it. S
remove this website the dirty.com violates canadian and international law...Free Trade and NAFTA Act etc as well security laws in canada and usa.

Hoppsan...should say "gossip sites" rather than "garbage sites."
This is a very hurtful and untrue site that people use to slander others and to bully those without them being able to speak truths. Many people have committed suicide and have anxiety problems due to this ridiculous site let's take it down!
This is cyber bullying and should be illegal
I cannot believe this site is allowed to operate.
Shut down the stupid website
This is disgusting, and needs to get shut down.
It needs to be stopped!! it has ruined too many reputations of people. It has no protection for minors on there.
THIS HATEFUL SITE MUST BE SHUT DOWN IMMEDIATELY!!!!
This website allows people to slander and degrade others any way they want with no repercussions. This type of type of cyber bulling should not be allowed or tolerated. Please people lets get this removed and banned.
The fact this site is still up is a joke.
Let's get this site removed. This is bullying and mental assault.
This site needs to be closed before it get plenty hurt for real how is this site still up and running
People like him are the reason there is so much evil in the world. If you call someone a demon long enough then just by brainwashing they will become the demon you say they are and maybe that demon will come back to haunt you.
I'm pretty sure this is the exact definition of cyber bullying....
Thedirty allows people to bully people, nik just promptes such childosh behavior. Many people are affected by this websire around the world, it allows people to be little others. Shut this bully down.
This site destroys families.
Nik is a sad sad soul. He is a disgrace and deserves to burn in hell with his ugly ass.
This is cyber bully site for people to tell lies
I have never been posted on this site but for years i have checked on it to make sure my friends or anyone i know isnt being targeted. its time this gets shut down
This guy is horrible. Absolutely horrible.
This site needs to be removed in its entirety.
Coward website and doesn't promote a healthy lifestyle!
This is a disgusting site, and needs to be shut down permanently!!!
Shout it down it harassing people by blackmailing them
Shut it down! It's supports online bullying and effects some of the children of these adults. It is disgusting site and we have enough violence and hate in the world today. We don't need to deliberately add to it
It is a complete disgrace. A hateful website.
I was featured on this website and it is still up to this day. This site is disgusting and shameful, my children are almost to the age where googling ones name brings up vile, untrue content about me! Horrible. Please take it down!
I personally have been effected by this horrible website.
Shut this ridiculous site down!! It's sad that some people have such sad lives that they have to be so horrible to other people
horrible website, i do not know how this can be legal
Needs to go. Not a good thing for the direction of society. People can get pittance hand with this. Shut this shit down. Nobody should benefit at the expense of some one being bullied and humiliated.
I'm being victimized by the woman who is trying to break up my marriage by lies she posted on this site. She violated an order of protection to do so.
Yup lets get rid of this trashy site which anyone can say anything about anyone which then sticks with them til this garbage site gets shut down for good
I found very false defamatory comments about myself on there! This is unacceptable.
Kills your self esteem
He is a poor excuse for a human being. Bad karma will haunt him for decades.
I'm one of TheDirty.com victims (for 7 years or so) and my life was ruined and lost everything because of this
This kind of site is what is wrong with the world. Bullying, shaming, defaming, and probably a lot of lying, are hurting innocent people. How many suicides do you have to see before you understand that?
Signing on a petition to shut down a website is a dumb idea. Report facts to local law enforcement agencies. I k ow thedirty.com is all vulgarity and hurts but do the right thing contact local federal bureau of investigation cyber crime division and if your Canadian call CSIS cyber crime division. For more information please email me at [email protected]
The scumbag filth who put this website together needs to be sued for multiple counts of defamation. He believes he's immune from the law. Someone needs to bring him up to speed on vicarious liability.
False rumors and lies were posted of me on this website and it's been over 7 years now.
This is a hurtful website and people believe everything on a website. Please take this down!!
Personally effected. Internet bullying should not be acceptable.
Please take down this site. It has caused suicides and ruined lives of countless people.

SHUT THIS DOWN!!!!
The person who runs this is a sorry excuse for a human being
These folks are online bullies and should be stopped. Fact checking is not a myth.
This is a defamation website and not everyone has 4000$ to pay the legal fees to get posts removed
shut down this bullying site.
This ruined my life
This petition should be to to have google remove the dirty from their search engines
This is a horribly vile website that encourages liars to slander people.
A toxic website to degrade people & spread hatred and complete lies. Cyber bullying and harassment is never okay, it’s 2020 everyone has access to the internet including kids let’s take a stand.
THIS SITE NEEDS TO BE SHUT DOWN IT IS USED FOR EXTORTION DEFAMATION HARASSMENT AND BULLYING. RACISM IS A PASS ON IT AS WELL HOW IS THIS SITE STILL HERE
shut it down please its a useless garbage site nik is a sick person who needs help
this needs to go viral and be shared more... this man is a joke just like his site. SITE FULL OF EXTORTION AND DEFAMATION. utter lies and threats out in the open. Instead of moving backwards in today's day in age take a step forward and ban this site!
this site is full of so many lies and crimes it needs to be looked into and removed from the internet
It's time to shut this hateful website down. It's too easy to lie about someone and make up false info.
Fake newes
Someone posted horrible lies about my sister. Guys get on there and make disgusting comments about her like she’s not even a human being. This site is vile.
This website should be shut down completely. The owner Hooman Karimian should be held liable. It’s 2020, people are literally wasting their time spreading lies that aren’t true.
My daughter and her boyfriend were being slandered on this website. I had to pay $1200 just to have their name removed for NOTHING. Please shut this disgusting website down as it has NOTHING good to offer! Hooman is a terrible human being and a sociopath who deserves nothing but hatred from those around him.
Disgusting
shut this down
This website has been around since I was a young teen. I know people who as teens MINORS were being posted. It's defamation of character and ruins people's lives! How can this be allowed this day and age! I'm supprised after over ten years this site is still up!
This site is so disturbing, it truly brings out the worst in humankind. I feel so bad for all the people who have been posted on it, most of them just kids. This site ruins lives. This is a special place in hell for the people who’s created this site and for the nasty individuals who comment on it to.
Shut this POS down!
Shut this horrible site down!
This is not allowed. You get girls and men to kill themselves . And develop addictions and unhealthy traits marked in society. Encouraging sex work? That ruthless take the bloody website down this guy should be in jail because he single Rdhanded murdered people
Someone put me on here too. I wish they would shut this website down. It’s disgusting. The owner of this site Hooman should be charged with involuntary manslaughter for all the people that’ve killed themselves from being posted on here. He is a SICK sociopath who deserves no respect from society considering the way he treats people
This website is so disrespectful and mostly hurtful things about people.
Get this site shut down and murder the creator slowly and painfully
Hey for everyone signing the petition I don’t think this site is getting taken down anytime soon. Theres no chance of it happening. What we need to do is find the owner and kill him like the previous comment said
Hey good people of the world, I’d like to let everyone know about a domain I just purchased. Shutdownthedirty.com It might take me a little bit of time, but I’m serious, hellbent and impassioned to get this website up and running. The aim: - raise awareness - start more petitions - give people a forum - call out shady ‘piggybacking’ websites that scrape data / posts But most importantly, I want to bring this to all levels of government, local and federal. As well as holding the search engines accountable. The law will be used to our advantage and protect US, instead of the bad guys. The initiative will be designed to use this platform as leverage to insight positive change. Our society is better than this. Anonymous slander and hate speech is cowardly: It spiritually stinks. Is morally wrong. It damages people’s livelihoods. Can damage relationships. It seriously harms people psychological health, which is something I’m most passionate about. And we’ve had enough. The fight is only beginning. ~ Anonymous... for now.
We are better than this. Slandering peoples names and trying to ruin their lives? Pathetic. Back in the day we wouldn’t go behind a computer screen and talk crap, we’d confront people in person
This website has pushed many people to suicide , nik Richie should be in jail .
The dirty site is so disgusting
This website is horrible, I’m surprised it still up after many years. The owner should be held liable for all the people that have taken their lives. Shame on the owner and I hope he dies, very very painfully
This website is disgusting
This website hacked into my myspace account and stole a photo of me, and published a completley fabricated made up story about me that is totally false ! Why you ask ? Because it was a failed extortion attempt. Someone or someones thought they would be able to extort lots of money from me in exchange for removing for publishing a photo of me with an article that could have massive potentially to damage my reputation. It didn't work because I refused to pay them off to remove it. These people aren't getting a dollar out of me !
The owner should be charged with involuntary manslaughter for the amount of people that’ve killed themselves from being put on the site. He should be held liable at all costs
When do you start up your site?? I want this site shutdown for good!
I hit a snag. Still have a the domain… I was fortunate that I got my problem with that site resolved. So for my mental health I stopped putting energy into it and didn’t go ahead with my website design and launch. Still a real possibility though. Was heartened to see so many more signatures and comments since I posted a few months back. I’m tuned in to the growing groundswell of people who are fed up, whether they’re involved directly or not. And want to help someway. Do you know anyone who would take the domain over and build something? Let’s collaborate and get organized. Thanks for the reply. Stay positive, keep beating the drum, and contact local news outlets and local politicians!! Hmmm as I’m writing this, maybe a private Facebook group would be helpful. Looking into it….. ~Anonymous
Agreed
Agred
Hi, Who did you find to remove the posts. I am trying to find a service and pay them to remove some posts on this site.
This site shouldn't be aloud. It's disgusting
How has this little twerp not been killed yet. I'm shocked he is breathing
This website is disgusting! I pray that its shutdown one day
This site harbors very damaging, defamatory, downright awful content. I am a victim of defamation via a post on this site.
I have a family member who was put on that website, and it sickens me to see others take joy in relishing in their struggles and mental illnesses. Regardless of their shortcomings, nobody asked for what life has given them, and this site aims to continue to kick those who are down with no ramifications for their part in others depression, lack of confidence, and even suicides. Nick Richie is a typical misogynist, and his site started off as an attack on women, and has since mutated into a hateful and shameful approach to "confronting people" on their issues. It is despicable.
This website is a platform statistically proven to bully and harass women.
Remove this like they did with isanyoneup
I feel it shouldn’t be legal to take another’s photo and use it without their permission to defame their character.
When hearing about this site I did not think something like this could actually be allowed. It is bullying and the entire site is sickening. These are people's lives you are messing with and posting pictures and names is a disgusting thing to do. Some of these people have children who will be bullied due to the things said and it is going to really hurt and affect a lot of families. SHUT IT DOWN.

Kevin Bollaert was just sentenced to 18 yrs in prison for posting nude pictures with contact info. Nik Richie does the same thing, but covers privates with hearts. He does post contact info a lot, which is why the other guy went to jail.

Hoppsan...should say "gossip sites" rather than "garbage sites."
This is a very hurtful and untrue site that people use to slander others and to bully those without them being able to speak truths. Many people have committed suicide and have anxiety problems due to this ridiculous site let's take it down!
This is cyber bullying and should be illegal
I cannot believe this site is allowed to operate.
Shut down the stupid website
This is disgusting, and needs to get shut down.
It needs to be stopped!! it has ruined too many reputations of people. It has no protection for minors on there.
THIS HATEFUL SITE MUST BE SHUT DOWN IMMEDIATELY!!!!
This website allows people to slander and degrade others any way they want with no repercussions. This type of type of cyber bulling should not be allowed or tolerated. Please people lets get this removed and banned.
The fact this site is still up is a joke.
Let's get this site removed. This is bullying and mental assault.
This site needs to be closed before it get plenty hurt for real how is this site still up and running
People like him are the reason there is so much evil in the world. If you call someone a demon long enough then just by brainwashing they will become the demon you say they are and maybe that demon will come back to haunt you.
I'm pretty sure this is the exact definition of cyber bullying....
Thedirty allows people to bully people, nik just promptes such childosh behavior. Many people are affected by this websire around the world, it allows people to be little others. Shut this bully down.

This is a disgusting site, and needs to be shut down permanently!!!

I found very false defamatory comments about myself on there! This is unacceptable.
Kills your self esteem
He is a poor excuse for a human being. Bad karma will haunt him for decades.
I'm one of TheDirty.com victims (for 7 years or so) and my life was ruined and lost everything because of this
This kind of site is what is wrong with the world. Bullying, shaming, defaming, and probably a lot of lying, are hurting innocent people. How many suicides do you have to see before you understand that?
Signing on a petition to shut down a website is a dumb idea. Report facts to local law enforcement agencies. I k ow thedirty.com is all vulgarity and hurts but do the right thing contact local federal bureau of investigation cyber crime division and if your Canadian call CSIS cyber crime division. For more information please email me at [email protected]
The scumbag filth who put this website together needs to be sued for multiple counts of defamation. He believes he's immune from the law. Someone needs to bring him up to speed on vicarious liability.
False rumors and lies were posted of me on this website and it's been over 7 years now.
This is a hurtful website and people believe everything on a website. Please take this down!!
Personally effected. Internet bullying should not be acceptable.
Please take down this site. It has caused suicides and ruined lives of countless people.

This is a horribly vile website that encourages liars to slander people.

It's time to shut this hateful website down. It's too easy to lie about someone and make up false info.
Fake newes
Someone posted horrible lies about my sister. Guys get on there and make disgusting comments about her like she’s not even a human being. This site is vile.
This website should be shut down completely. The owner Hooman Karimian should be held liable. It’s 2020, people are literally wasting their time spreading lies that aren’t true.
My daughter and her boyfriend were being slandered on this website. I had to pay $1200 just to have their name removed for NOTHING. Please shut this disgusting website down as it has NOTHING good to offer! Hooman is a terrible human being and a sociopath who deserves nothing but hatred from those around him.
Disgusting
shut this down
This website has been around since I was a young teen. I know people who as teens MINORS were being posted. It's defamation of character and ruins people's lives! How can this be allowed this day and age! I'm supprised after over ten years this site is still up!
This site is so disturbing, it truly brings out the worst in humankind. I feel so bad for all the people who have been posted on it, most of them just kids. This site ruins lives. This is a special place in hell for the people who’s created this site and for the nasty individuals who comment on it to.
Shut this POS down!
Shut this horrible site down!
This is not allowed. You get girls and men to kill themselves . And develop addictions and unhealthy traits marked in society. Encouraging sex work? That ruthless take the bloody website down this guy should be in jail because he single Rdhanded murdered people
Someone put me on here too. I wish they would shut this website down. It’s disgusting. The owner of this site Hooman should be charged with involuntary manslaughter for all the people that’ve killed themselves from being posted on here. He is a SICK sociopath who deserves no respect from society considering the way he treats people
This website is so disrespectful and mostly hurtful things about people.
Get this site shut down and murder the creator slowly and painfully
Hey for everyone signing the petition I don’t think this site is getting taken down anytime soon. Theres no chance of it happening. What we need to do is find the owner and kill him like the previous comment said
Hey good people of the world, I’d like to let everyone know about a domain I just purchased. Shutdownthedirty.com It might take me a little bit of time, but I’m serious, hellbent and impassioned to get this website up and running. The aim: - raise awareness - start more petitions - give people a forum - call out shady ‘piggybacking’ websites that scrape data / posts But most importantly, I want to bring this to all levels of government, local and federal. As well as holding the search engines accountable. The law will be used to our advantage and protect US, instead of the bad guys. The initiative will be designed to use this platform as leverage to insight positive change. Our society is better than this. Anonymous slander and hate speech is cowardly: It spiritually stinks. Is morally wrong. It damages people’s livelihoods. Can damage relationships. It seriously harms people psychological health, which is something I’m most passionate about. And we’ve had enough. The fight is only beginning. ~ Anonymous... for now.
We are better than this. Slandering peoples names and trying to ruin their lives? Pathetic. Back in the day we wouldn’t go behind a computer screen and talk crap, we’d confront people in person
This website has pushed many people to suicide , nik Richie should be in jail .
The dirty site is so disgusting
This website is horrible, I’m surprised it still up after many years. The owner should be held liable for all the people that have taken their lives. Shame on the owner and I hope he dies, very very painfully
This website is disgusting
This website hacked into my myspace account and stole a photo of me, and published a completley fabricated made up story about me that is totally false ! Why you ask ? Because it was a failed extortion attempt. Someone or someones thought they would be able to extort lots of money from me in exchange for removing for publishing a photo of me with an article that could have massive potentially to damage my reputation. It didn't work because I refused to pay them off to remove it. These people aren't getting a dollar out of me !
The owner should be charged with involuntary manslaughter for the amount of people that’ve killed themselves from being put on the site. He should be held liable at all costs
When do you start up your site?? I want this site shutdown for good!
I hit a snag. Still have a the domain… I was fortunate that I got my problem with that site resolved. So for my mental health I stopped putting energy into it and didn’t go ahead with my website design and launch. Still a real possibility though. Was heartened to see so many more signatures and comments since I posted a few months back. I’m tuned in to the growing groundswell of people who are fed up, whether they’re involved directly or not. And want to help someway. Do you know anyone who would take the domain over and build something? Let’s collaborate and get organized. Thanks for the reply. Stay positive, keep beating the drum, and contact local news outlets and local politicians!! Hmmm as I’m writing this, maybe a private Facebook group would be helpful. Looking into it….. ~Anonymous
Agreed
Agred
Hi, Who did you find to remove the posts. I am trying to find a service and pay them to remove some posts on this site.
This site shouldn't be aloud. It's disgusting
How has this little twerp not been killed yet. I'm shocked he is breathing
This website is disgusting! I pray that its shutdown one day
This site harbors very damaging, defamatory, downright awful content. I am a victim of defamation via a post on this site.
I have a family member who was put on that website, and it sickens me to see others take joy in relishing in their struggles and mental illnesses. Regardless of their shortcomings, nobody asked for what life has given them, and this site aims to continue to kick those who are down with no ramifications for their part in others depression, lack of confidence, and even suicides. Nick Richie is a typical misogynist, and his site started off as an attack on women, and has since mutated into a hateful and shameful approach to "confronting people" on their issues. It is despicable.
This website is a platform statistically proven to bully and harass women.
Remove this like they did with isanyoneup
I feel it shouldn’t be legal to take another’s photo and use it without their permission to defame their character.
When hearing about this site I did not think something like this could actually be allowed. It is bullying and the entire site is sickening. These are people's lives you are messing with and posting pictures and names is a disgusting thing to do. Some of these people have children who will be bullied due to the things said and it is going to really hurt and affect a lot of families. SHUT IT DOWN.

Kevin Bollaert was just sentenced to 18 yrs in prison for posting nude pictures with contact info. Nik Richie does the same thing, but covers privates with hearts. He does post contact info a lot, which is why the other guy went to jail.
