This week we feature Melissa Montalvo, who faced legal repercussions after posting a negative review about Gordo’s Tacos and Tequila. Melissa, who has struggled with depression and uses baking as a coping mechanism, details her legal battle following the negative review, which led to accusations of harassment and false police reports. Despite having evidence supporting her innocence that she was not allowed to present, she was found guilty and fined.

Navigating this legal ordeal, Melissa expressed frustration over the lack of court transcripts necessary for an appeal and sought support from the Black Alliance Attorneys of Pittsburgh. She also faced new harassment charges related to TikTok videos. The narrative touches on differences between civil and criminal cases, biased treatment, and difficulties obtaining essential documentation. It highlights the importance of having a voice and not letting anyone silence it.
