‘Yellowstone’s Dawn Olivieri Sues for Defamation Over Claims of Horse Abuse

Dawn Olivieri‘s fighting back against claims she abuses horses … suing numerous people who she claims made false statements that have negatively impacted her livelihood.

Olivieri — a star on the hit show “Yellowstone” — filed the lawsuit last month claiming a bunch of people have made false statements about her in order to damage her partnerships with third-party organizations and businesses.

Dawn says she had a campaign all set up with clothing giant Dickies — posting promotional pics to social media — when, she claims, users engaged in a coordinated effort to kill her brand deals.

According to DO … numerous horse-related influencers have publicly made false claims that she’s forced horses at her sanctuary, Moon Mountain, to drink dirty water … that she’s supported the starving of horses … and has killed newborn Arabian horses.

Olivieri says her campaign with Dickies has fallen apart because of these claims, and it’s affected other brand partnerships as well.

There are a ton of different claims … but, bottom line, these influencers say Moon Mountain’s methods and care have led to numerous dead horses — an assertion Dawn calls B.S.

Worth noting … Dawn says she’s tried reaching out to the defendants personally — but, they’re not slowing down with their claims, and Dawn’s now suing them for damaging her reputation and hurting her brand deals.
