Highland Park Activist Sues Mayoral Candidate Solomon Kinloch for Defamation Over False Allegations

A high-profile defamation lawsuit has been filed against Reverend Solomon Kinloch Jr., a Detroit mayoral candidate, by Highland Park activist Robert Davis. The lawsuit claims that Kinloch maliciously lied about Davis during and after a recent televised debate.

Kinloch had accused Davis of being a paid operative for Mary Sheffield, the leading contender in the mayoral race, at the debate on October 15th. However, without providing any evidence to support his claim, Kinloch made these defamatory statements. The lawsuit alleges that Kinloch fabricated these claims to discredit Davis and revive his failing campaign.

Davis denies the allegations and has stated that Kinloch made these false statements with actual malice, revealing a deep-seated animus towards him due to Davis's exposure of Kinloch's past criminal convictions for assault and fraudulent real-estate transactions involving Triumph Church.

The lawsuit also seeks damages from Kinloch, claiming he lost potential clients as a result of his defamatory statements. Additionally, Davis is requesting the court to declare that Triumph's purchase and sale of an AMC theater site in Southfield was fraudulent.

Earlier this month, Davis alleged in another lawsuit that Kinloch had violated state and federal laws regarding insider transactions involving Triumph Church's church property acquisition.

The mayoral election is heating up, with a recent survey showing Mary Sheffield leading the race by 65% to Kinloch's 14%.
 
😡 this guy Solomon Kinloch Jr is literally getting roasted 💣 for making up those crazy lies about Robert Davis and now he's suing him? come on 🙄 like Robert didn't already expose his shady past and all the drama with Triumph Church? I'm not surprised he's losing in that mayoral election, those defamatory statements are gonna cost him big time 💸 and honestly, who does Kinloch think he is trying to fabricate accusations against Davis just to save himself? 🤷‍♂️ this lawsuit is basically a waste of time and resources for Robert...
 
🤦‍♂️ I'm so done with Robert Davis being all dramatic and suing Solomon Kinloch for defamation over some wild claims. Like, come on, dude, if you've got evidence, show it. And btw, who cares about the mayoral election? The real issue is that Triumph Church's leadership is still trying to get away with their shady dealings 🤑🤥. Davis should be worried about his own campaign's credibility, not Kinloch's.
 
🙄 I gotta say, this whole thing just smells like dirty politics. Both sides are going at it like a pair of cats in a sack, and meanwhile, Detroit is getting left behind 🤦‍♂️. Look at the timeline of these lawsuits, it's like they're trying to distract from each other's scandals. I mean, Kinloch gets caught with his hand in the cookie jar (past crimes), and now Davis is all up in his grill about alleged lies... come on! Can't we just focus on the real issues here? Like what's gonna happen to our city's schools, infrastructure, or public safety? 🚧

And another thing, what's with all these lawsuits? It feels like everyone's just throwing stones and expecting others to catch. Don't get me wrong, accountability is important, but can we please focus on having a constructive conversation instead of tearing each other down? 💬 I'm all for keeping our mayoral candidates honest, but let's do it with some class, you know? 🙏
 
Can you believe what's going on in Detroit? 😱 It's all about politics and dirty tricks! I've been following this mayoral election closely and let me tell you, it's getting crazy! 🤯 Solomon Kinloch Jr thinks he can just lie about someone like Robert Davis and get away with it? 💔 Not on my watch! 🙅‍♂️

I'm all for free speech, but when someone does that to a person's reputation like this, it's time to call them out. And I gotta say, Robert Davis has some serious proof against Kinloch. Assault convictions and fraudulent real estate deals? 😳 That's some bad juju!

What really gets me is the timing of all these lawsuits. It's like Davis is saying, "Hey, look over here, I've got a lawsuit too!" 🚨 Meanwhile, Mary Sheffield just keeps on polling ahead with 65% to Kinloch's 14%. 📈 It's clear who the real winner is in this election... 👑
 
🚨 this whole thing just got really ugly - it seems like Solomon Kinloch Jr's campaign is getting desperate and he's resorting to lies... 🤬 Davis is right to sue him, if kinloch doesn't have any evidence to back up his claims then he shouldn't be saying them. it's also pretty rich that kinloch thinks he can just trash davis's character and get away with it... 😂 but the thing is, these allegations of past criminal convictions are seriously damaging to kinloch's campaign - i don't think many people want to vote for someone who has been in trouble with the law before.
 
🙄 so now Reverend Kinloch thinks he can just make up crazy stuff about someone and get away with it? like, what's next? gonna sue everyone who disagrees with him? 😒 I mean, come on, dude, you got caught with your pants down (literally, in the real estate scandal) and now you're trying to take out a high-profile activist? 🤷‍♂️ The man needs to focus on his own campaign instead of trying to bring others down. And btw, 65% vs 14%? Mary Sheffield is leading for a reason... 🤑
 
idk what's going on with these mayoral elections in detroit 🤷‍♂️ anyway kinloch seems like he's got some skeletons in his closet and now he's trying to take down davis with false allegations 😒 it's just shady, man. and davis is like "hey, at least i'm not a convicted felon" kinda vibe 💁‍♂️ but seriously, can we talk about how low the bar has to be for someone to get sued for defamation in this election cycle? 🤯
 
this defamation lawsuit thingy is getting messy... i'm not surprised solomon kinloch would resort to dirty tricks but now robert davis is fighting back 🙄. i think davis has a solid case against kinloch, those past convictions of his should've been used as ammo against him instead of trying to smear davis. this all just makes the mayoral election more confusing for voters... and that survey results are crazy 65% to 14%, something's gotta give 🤯
 
just when you think it can't get any worse... another politician trying to destroy someone's rep for their own gain 💔👎 solomon kinloch really needs to take responsibility for his actions, or at least have some real evidence backing him up. defamation lawsuits are serious business, and i hope robert davis gets the justice he deserves 👊
 
This whole thing just smells like dirty politics 🤥. I mean, come on, Reverend Kinloch accusing Robert Davis of being a shill for some other candidate without any proof? That's not how you lead with facts in a debate. It sounds like more of the same old smear tactics we've seen in Detroit politics for years.

And what really gets me is that Kinloch has these past convictions hanging over his head, but he tries to deflect attention by going after Davis instead. This just shows a lack of integrity and a willingness to do whatever it takes to win – even if it means dragging others down with him 🚮.

The fact that the election is heating up like this just means we're in for a wild ride of mudslinging and negative campaigning. Can't wait to see what other dirt gets dug up on these candidates 💔
 
😡 Can't believe this, Solomon Kinloch thinks he can just make up crazy claims about someone and try to destroy their rep? Like, what's next? 😤 This whole thing reeks of desperation. Robert Davis is totally right to sue him for defamation, I mean, who tries to smear someone without any proof? 🙄 The fact that Kinloch made those claims about Davis's past convictions is just disgusting. 👎 And now he's trying to ruin Davis's business too? Unbelievable! 💸 The only one who should be losing votes is Solomon Kinloch, not Robert Davis. This whole election is turning out to be a total circus and I'm not buying it 🎪
 
🤔 I'm not surprised to see Solomon Kinloch getting sued for defamation... like, how many times can one guy get caught lying? 🙄 Anyways, Davis makes some solid points about Kinloch's shady past. The whole Triumph Church thing is just wild... 10 years ago who would've thought his own church was involved in some sketchy real estate deals? 🤯 And what's with the alleged insider trading lawsuit? Sounds like a classic case of someone trying to deflect attention from their own mistakes 💔. Anyways, I'm all for Davis getting some traction in this election... Mary Sheffield is way ahead in the polls and it looks like Kinloch just can't catch a break 🤦‍♂️
 
😒 I'm so sick of these mayoral candidates trying to take each other down like this. Can't they just focus on fixing Detroit for real? 🤦‍♂️ Solomon Kinloch thinks he can get away with spreading false rumors about Robert Davis and now he's getting sued? 🤑 Typical politician move, try to discredit the competition by any means necessary. Newsflash, Rev: your past mistakes don't define you, but they do make you look desperate for attention. 💔 And let's be real, Mary Sheffield is still going strong and Kinloch is just trying to cling to relevance. 🙄
 
I'm like really surprised about this news 🤯! It seems so unfair that someone would accuse someone else of being paid off and then spread those rumors all over the place. I think it's crazy that Reverend Kinloch made these defamatory statements without any proof to back them up. It's also pretty shady that he did it to try and hurt his opponent Robert Davis's campaign 🤔.

I mean, I get it that politics can be cutthroat, but shouldn't we at least aim for some level of respect? Davis has already brought up some serious allegations about Kinloch's past, like those assault and real estate scams. It's not right to try and silence him or discredit his claims. The fact that Davis is now suing Kinloch over this is definitely a bold move 💪.

Anyway, I guess we'll just have to wait and see how this all plays out 🤞. One thing for sure, the mayoral election is getting more interesting by the day!
 
OMG 🤯 can't believe what I'm reading!!! so kinloch just goes around making wild accusations against people like davis and now he's getting sued for it? 😱 that's some serious karma, fam! i mean i get it, politics is dirty but come on, lie about someone's past without any proof? that's just low. I think this whole thing is super shady, especially since kinloch was involved in some shady stuff himself before. like, who's the real operative here? 🤑 also can we talk about how mary sheffield is killing it in the polls with 65% to kinloch's 14%? lol what a joke! anyway, i'm all for justice and holding people accountable for their actions, so hopefully kinloch gets taken down a peg and davis gets the respect he deserves. 💯
 
🤔 This whole thing just smells like another dirty move from the powers that be. I mean, come on, Reverend Kinloch goes around smearing Robert Davis's name without any proof, and then he has the nerve to play victim? It's all too convenient for Solomon Kinloch Jr. 🙄

I'm not saying Davis isn't guilty of something, but this whole thing feels like a setup. He's been digging up dark secrets on Kinloch's past, so now it's Kinloch's turn to try and take him down. It's all just part of the game, right? 🤑 The real question is, what's Mary Sheffield getting out of this whole ordeal? Is she behind it all somehow? Maybe she wants to make sure Davis can't compete with her in the election... 👀
 
Ugh 🤯 I'm so done with all this dirty politics going on! Can't we just focus on being kind and honest with each other? 😩 I mean, Solomon Kinloch is already in trouble because of his past mistakes, but does he have to go after Robert Davis too? It's like he's trying to win by any means necessary 🤑. And what really gets my goat is that he didn't even have the guts to back up those lies with some evidence 💔. It's just so sad that this kind of behavior is happening in our politics, especially when it comes to something as important as a mayoral election 🤷‍♀️.

And can we talk about how Robert Davis has been exposing Kinloch's past wrongdoings? I mean, yeah, he might be going after Kinloch now, but at least he's trying to hold him accountable for his actions in the past 💪. It's like, if we want to create change and be good leaders, we need to start being more honest and transparent with each other 🌟. Let's focus on upliftment and positivity instead of tearing each other down 😊.
