He maintains that accusing him of supporting genocide is a false and defamatory statement that can be proven wrong by his consistent public record and past statements.

“As demonstrated, Ethan does not and has not supported Israel's genocide of the Palestinian people whatsoever. The contrary is expressly stated the opposite in support of numerous charities dedicated to helping Palestinians.”

Clayton asserts that if the current court case is dismissed, he will sue for defamation and expects to win because he has substantial evidence to support his claims.

“if she continues to double down and the court just says we're going to dismiss it all I'm absolutely going to sue her for defamation and I will win because I have so much evidence against her”

The plaintiff's legal team uses constant defamation in court filings as a tactical strategy to prevent a counter-lawsuit.

“They just continue to do it over and over again because the goal is to just defame me in court filings so that I can't counter sue for it, which is one of the most important things I think for a Pixie in this case is to just constantly defame me.”
