An ultra-rich tech investor turned DJ says she is preparing to sue for defamation after her TV star ex-girlfriend made a series of shocking claims during their break-up, court papers have revealed.
Lucy Guo, a 32-year-old AI entrepreneur who was once lauded as the world’s youngest self-made female billionaire, said she planned to take legal action against the British actress Wallis Day, 32, in a declaration made to a federal court.
Details of the couple's spectacularly messy split emerged in a petition Guo made to the United States District Court for the Northern District of California to enable her to subpoena Instagram owner Meta.
The eccentric Scale AI co-founder is seeking information about the reach of a post that she said Day, who has 425,000 followers, made on Instagram. In her declaration, she claimed the post was defamatory and that she intended to bring a lawsuit against Day in the UK courts.
The declaration stated: 'Guo posted an Instagram story to publicize and promote her latest single/remix titled “Done with your ex,” along with the caption, “fun fact: I broke up with my ex the night we made this".
