- Mr. Tomlinson's feud started after members of the now-defunct Reddit site r/opieandanthony got his Twitter account suspended, causing him to threaten some bored trolls who never heard of him with a libel lawsuit. The trolls responded predictably.
- Mr. Tomlinson has been instructed many times by friends, family, police, and attorneys to stop engaging with his trolls, and that continuing to provoke them will cause him to be trolled even more. Mr. Tomlinson wilfully ignores this advice
- He would eventually file a defamation suit against 60 anonymous people which was dismissed with Mr. Tomlinson being ordered to pay $34,762.25 for opposing parties' attorney fees.
- He ended up paying $83,736.99 due to his unsuccessful attempts to dodge the court-ordered judgement, for which he faced jail time and contempt charges.
- He also filed 2 frivolous restraining orders against people who had engaged in First Amendment-protected behavior (one for texting him and another for attending his contempt of court hearing), both of which were dismissed.
- Early on in the lawsuit, Mr. Tomlinson vandalized his own motorcycle and submitted a false police report blaming the people he was suing.
- He accidentally sent surveillance video of the alleged vandal (himself) to a troll.
- Mr. Tomlinson has never shown this video footage during any of his media tours, and desperately tries to scrub it from the internet.
- Mr. Tomlinson claims that the surveillance video was initiated by his "motion-activated" camera, which only collects "30 seconds at a time", despite the video being 32 seconds long and beginning several seconds before the "vandal" enters into the frame.
- On 13 April 2023, the individual responsible for calling the fake emergences (SWATs) to Mr. Tomlinson's house, a SWAT-for-hire dealer named "Torswats", revealed that Mr. Tomlinson ordered the SWATs to his own house because he wanted to get in the news and sue the MPD for money.
- Torswats would repeat these allegations in private chats which were not intended for public view.
- Mr. Tomlinson has gone on multiple news tours since the SWATtings started in order to promote his victimhood brand, utilizing the services of Lenora Claire.
- He also recently sued the MPD for money.
Stern/Biden Interview Sends Anthony Into Tizzy
- Thread starter Anthony's Lime Rickey

Wasn’t he pretending to be a woman in online sex chat rooms? Plus he was getting divorced during and after the movie so the producers made him keep it quiet. Alison calling in because “Ralph” put condoms on Stern’s shopping list as a goof is still the weirdest thing I’ve ever heard.
Howard is a complete poser and a total fraud. When he was at WNBC, he was into Air Supply and Pablo Cruise. He pretended to be "into rock" when he made the move to KRock. Early on, Leslie West of Mountain was the only "rock star" who'd do his show, so he claimed he was a huge Mountain fan. Ditto Dee Snider, the Ramones, and Enuff Z Nuff. While he knows of the biggest Led Zeppelin and Metallica songs, he's not, and has never been, a fan of any of those bands he professes to love. He is a "big fan" of anyone willing to do his show. He used to goof on Gary all the time about Springsteen, then he did the show and Howie was gushing like a schoolgirl over him. He once told Metallica he "listened to them in high school" despite the fact that he was well into his 30s when their first record came out.
There was an entire chapter in "Miss America" devoted to his "cyber sex" exploits. He pretended to be a girl, and likewise "pretended" to be a fag, too.
Oh literal Mick Mickerson.
I forgot the Metallica / high school claim - even then he wouldn’t have been aware of them until the black album.
At this point his claims are so ridiculous and obviously lies he’s up there with Hulk Hogan who said Metallica wanted him to play bass for them after Cliff Died, Andre was 700 pounds when he slammed him, he was asked to star in “The Wrestler” and “missed the call” because he was busy picking up his kids from school for the George Foreman Grill. Stern has been claiming he’s been “in talks” for major movie roles since Private Parts but has turned them down when the only ones you can find he turned down was Dirty Work as Satan (which went to Adam Sandler) and Man of The Year (which went to Robin Williams)
He was completely unaware that Metallica even existed until he heard Sandman. He likes three Metallica songs...Sandman, Unforgiven, and Nothing Else Matters. In 1996, KRock debuted the new Metallica single "Until It Sleeps", and Howie was trying so, so hard to pretend it was good and he liked it. Total cringe, and it's highly doubtful that he ever listened to that dud again even once.
Or when he inducted faggot Bon Jovi into the gay RARHOF. In 1989, Kinison was supposed to bring Bon Jovi into the studio, but they went off on a coke bender instead and never showed. Howard ridiculed and mocked "Bon Phony" for years after that. Then he did the show, and Howard was suddenly their biggest fan and a huge booster from way, way back. Total retcon job and complete bullshit. Howard never talked about these artists and bands he supposedly adored, in fact he mocked those who liked them or cared about them in any way. Howard's music was shit like Herman's Hermits, The Turtles, and faggy lite FM rock like Air Supply.

Until It Sleeps hit #1 in the US, UK among others.
The single alone went gold selling 500K units along side that other dud, Gangsta's Paradise. I Believe I Can Fly sold 600K in 1996.
You're allowed to not like the song, but to call it a dud is just factually wrong.
He told Saget that he turned it down because he didn’t really get it. Just really an odd statement when it’s a pretty straightforward scene where quite honestly Stern would have been perfect. He still had that really edgy reputation at the time.
Does Hulk even play bass?
I meant "dud" as in "it blew, and still continues to blow to this day". Of course it was going to sell like gangbusters, that was the first new Metallica tune on five years. But it was hilarious listening to Stern pitifully pretending to be way into it, when he clearly was not.
Another time during the 90s, they came back from a break and Fred was playing the heavy part of "One". Howard turned up his nose and said something like "ewww, what is this garbage?". Fred said "it's your favorite band Metallica", and Howie had no clue.
I'm embarrassed for all parties involved.
