Defamation: “Creepy” TikTok Girl Ava Grace May SUED by Social Justice YouTuber Over False Criminal Accusations.

A legal shockwave is currently reverberating through the digital media landscape as respected social justice YouTuber, Levi Trumbull, has filed a damning Complaint for Defamation Per Se in the Baltimore County, Maryland Circuit Court. The lawsuit targets the controversial “Cringy” content creator Ava Grace May, alleging that she engaged in a campaign of malicious falsehoods against him, culminating in her making false criminal accusations of Stalking and Harassment under Maryland law on her Instagram account in September, 2025.

Mr. Trumbull, a “video production specialist” and “digital content creator” known for his substantive channel focused on “matters of public interest, government accountability, and social commentary,” has initiated this judicial action to combat the harm Ms. May has inflicted. The Complaint details Ms. May’s alleged bad-faith conduct, contrasting it starkly with Mr. Trumbull’s measured professionalism.

The conflict, as detailed in the legal filing, originated in the unprofessional conduct of Ms. May. The self-professed “Cringe” peddler, and aspiring actress and musician, who also goes by the stage name Ava Luna May, responded to a professional casting call. According to the lawsuit, she then failed to perform the agreed-upon services or return a $100 advance payment and proprietary materials. Mr. Trumbull’s response was professional: he sought remedy through the appropriate legal channel, the small claims court.

Ms. May’s alleged reaction to this legitimate legal process was a pattern of escalating, unwarranted hostility. This reached a critical point with the release of her song, “Astral Stalking,” and finally, the publication of defamatory statements on Instagram on September 15, 2025. She is accused of falsely labeling Mr. Trumbull was acting in a criminal manner, claiming he had been “STALKING ME” and “harassed me and my family for months.”

The most devastating evidence against Ava Grace May is found in her own public admissions, which the lawsuit contends expose her reckless disregard for the truth. Less than twelve hours after launching the severe criminal accusations, Ms. May allegedly declared publicly that a video made by Mr. Trumbull expressing his opinions of her, that supposedly drove her to fear him “did not hurt me” and was “f**king hilariously bad.” The Complaint argues this staggering contradiction proves the accusations were manufactured for effect, demonstrating that she either knew her initial statements were false or published them with a malicious intent to injure.

YouTuber Levi Trumbull is now forced to fight for the fundamental right to defend his good name against false accusations that are demonstrably baseless. His attempts to resolve the matter privately, including a pre-litigation “good faith attempt” letter were allegedly ignored, forcing him to seek justice. This lawsuit appears to be a necessary and decisive move by a content creator to crush the tactics of a “wannabe” TikToker and musician who allegedly tried to weaponize criminal accusations for cheap attention. Mr. Trumbull seeks $30,000 for the alleged harm caused and is requesting a jury to hear the facts of this case.
