    ATLANTA - Good food is supposed to nourish the soul as well as the body.
    But the FOX 5 I-Team says an Atlanta social media influencer who touts his cooking skills online has left behind a mess of consumer complaints and hurt feelings. And worse.
    "This has been a living nightmare," complained Atlanta resident Melenese Ford.
    Darius Williams, 39, once owned two Atlanta restaurants that he closed in January 2020. He’s since built an impressive online presence under the pseudonym Darius Cooks.

    I used to follow him for recipes years ago. But he quickly showed his narcissistic behaviors and messiness. Between the frequent posts about his “credit repair company” and him calling out people who left bad reviews about his restaurant, I knew he was a scammer and unfollowed. It’s wild that the first I’ve heard about him in years is when this video popped up on my feed. Good reporting. Please expose and de-platform him. Especially when he goes as far as to post people’s children on social media, just sick.

      @Malus Only if there are repeated visits in a threatening, sly (sneaking), trespassing after lawful order of previous law that was broken), and/or in any other illegal matter. Having a news crew show up, politely talk, even respect wishes of said person to have the camera move away, and not do anything out of the normal for a reporter to do... yeah... you might want to go back to an Adult Education Center for extended learning on what you have zero knowledge about. And yes, he actually is breaking federal law : "The federal law concerning cyberstalking is 18 U.S.C. § 2261A(2). It provides that it's unlawful for any person to engage in a course of conduct through electronic communication that makes another individual reasonably fear death or serious bodily harm to themselves or another (including a pet or service animal). The behavior may also be illegal if it causes or could cause “substantial emotional distress.” A course of conduct means two or more acts suggesting that the individual has or will continue the behavior. Potential conviction penalties for cyberstalking:
      Death results: Up to life in prison
      Permanent disfigurement or life-threatening injury results: Up to 20 years in prison
      Serious bodily injury results or a dangerous weapon was used to commit the offense: Up to 10 years in prison
      All other circumstances: Up to 5 years in prison
      In addition to imprisonment, the court may also order the alleged offender to pay a $250,000 fine." So I hope he gets what's coming to him, shady ****.

      No. Do not shut him down. He's creating a trap for himself with more enemies, DOX victims and publicity. Also, he may be subject to libel and slander laws with his interstate commerce. The wheels of justice are slow but very patient.
