On October 20, Hans Niemann filed a $100M defamation lawsuit against Magnus Carlson, Hikaru, and Chess.com, claiming that the defendants have \u201cdestroyed Niemann\u2019s life simply because he had the talent, dedication, and audacity to beat the so-called \u201cKing of Chess.\u201d Just hours later, Andrea Botez was reacting to the lawsuit on her Twitch stream when she said that she believes Niemann filed the lawsuit as a \u201cflex.\u201d Andrea Botez reacts to Hans Niemann\u2019s lawsuit During her October 20 stream, Andrea opened the lawsuit document and displayed it on the stream. \u201cI don\u2019t think I\u2019ve ever read a lawsuit thing in my life. Wait, is he suing\u2026 oooh. I guess play Magnus is a part of it. Wait\u2026 he\u2019s suing Hikaru too?\u201d she said. \u201cDamn. I\u2019m just glad I never stepped into this drama. I guess Hikaru kind of stirred up a little bit of the insinuations at the beginning\u2026 I feel like this is honestly just a flex.\u201d At the time of writing, none of the affected players have commented on the lawsuit, likely due to it being a legal matter.
