Controversial internet personality Vitaly has spoken out after reports of him getting sued by Hollywood screenwriter C. Jay Cox emerged online. For context, on November 30, 2024, several X users reported that Cox was suing the Kick star over an episode of his contentious predator-hunting series, in which the streamer accused the 62-year-old of inappropriate behavior toward a minor.
In response to the allegation, C. Jay Cox issued a public statement claiming that Vitaly's gang "wrongfully accused him of pedophilia". After stating that he was dropped by The Gersh Agency due to the "blatant hoax," Cox said he planned on "taking action" by contacting law enforcement:
"But as I deal with all the public shame, loss of livelihood, and deep uncertainty about my future, I am taking action. I have been in touch with law enforcement, and am pressing local authorities to bring criminal charges against these scammers."

Vitaly discussed the situation on the Catching Predators livestream on December 2, 2024, claiming that he had been served with another lawsuit. He elaborated:
"What if I told you, this morning... this morning, I'm not even going to say it. Maybe I'll say it. Mom, she's watching, she sent me. I got hit with another lawsuit. So, that's all. Hey, and I'm still here today doing the same s**t I'm getting sued for. How many people out there are doing the same thing? How many of you guys? How many of you guys would do it? None of you! Nothing."

Vitaly went viral on social media on May 5, 2024, due to a clip from his livestream, where an elderly man accused of predatory behavior was knocked out by a person wearing a white shirt and red cap. The situation left numerous netizens concerned, with some speculating that the Russian personality could face legal action.
Vitaly eventually updated the community via a video on X, with his security personnel stating that the person who was assaulted during the broadcast would not suffer any long-term medical conditions:
"Hey, I've been in contact with law enforcement since everything that happened back and forth. Law enforcement is at the hospital with the gentleman. They have let us know that he is going to be okay. No long life-lasting conditions. Everything is going to be all right. The next thing the cop told me which was good is that he is being arrested. He's going to be going to jail for being a pedophile, just like everybody else wants."
In other news, Vitaly's official Kick channel got banned on November 29, 2024, after a suspected predator exposed himself on a broadcast.
