The 21-page cross-complaint was filed in San Diego Superior Court on Friday. “So, where are the other ‘fabricated’ polls targeting other El Cajon businesses that denied the posting of campaign signs on behalf of defendant Bessmon Kalasho?” “It is hard to imagine that only one El Cajon business denied the posting of campaign signs on behalf of defendant Bessom Kalasho,” it states. In his cross-complaint, Kalasho said other companies avoiding getting involved in the El Cajon City Council election and they were not targeted. Several of the commenters also posted messages saying they were sickened after eating at the taqueria. The restaurant was criticized in an online poll as serving the worst Mexican food in El Cajon. We wanted nothing to do with Lina Charry.”Īnother plaintiff in the original complaint is the 3 Brothers Taco Shop, a business that alleges it was the subject of numerous negative social-media posts after one of the restaurant owners declined to allow Kalasho’s council campaign to post a political sign inside the business. “Her reputation preceded herself,” the cross-complaint states. In his cross-complaint, Kalasho said it is Charry who has an “obsessive fixation” on Kalasho, in part because she was not permitted to participate in the Miss Middle East contest for several years. The fraud and defamation case against Kalasho alleged that fake profiles posted unflattering reviews of Charry’s legal work on the Facebook page of a Kalasho-founded nonprofit now called the Middle Eastern Chamber of Commerce. One of the other defendants is San Diego attorney Lina Charry, who claimed she was targeted by Kalasho in an online poll after she prevailed in an unrelated lawsuit. The complaint was later amended to include Kargar’s allegations and claims that Kalasho used fake social-media accounts to criticize his adversaries.
Kalasho “was merely telling Plaintiff Kargar the correct and classy way to walk down the runway,” his countersuit says.īessmon and Jessica Kalasho and two organizations the councilman founded were sued in May for allegedly creating fake social-media accounts to criticize Tawfiq. Do it again.’ Plaintiff Kargar took this comment completely out of context and severely overreacted.” His counter-complaint says, “Plaintiff Kargar stated that she was shocked, appalled and humiliated when Defendant Bessmon Kalasho stated during a particular pageant rehearsal, ‘Your boobs are moving too much.
Enough is enough.Kargar also accused Kalasho of improperly commenting on her appearance during a pageant rehearsal. "I just decided" to eliminate swimsuits, she said. She assisted in the Miss Antioch competition for seven years before taking the lead this year. Galster has been competing in pageants since she was 9 and has participated in many contests, including representing Arlington Heights in the Miss Illinois Pageant in 1975 and Wonder Lake in the Mrs. Responses to the Antioch action have been positive, Galster said, including from former Miss Antiochs. Rather than five young women wearing dresses and waving from a float in the Septemberfest parade on Labor Day, there will be five young men and women marching the route in their Septemberfest Court golf shirts. Organizers said the change was made to alleviate any perception the event was more pageant than scholarship program. Last month, organizers of the Miss Septemberfest scholarship competition in Schaumburg announced the decades-old event will change to a Septemberfest Court open to young men and women and boasting five equal winners this year. There is no overreaching authority for the local pageants, which operate independently, so it is unknown how many have gone to athletic wear, according to Galster.Īntioch is not alone in making pageant changes. Girls and young women compete in local pageants for scholarships and the opportunity to represent their communities in a variety of events. "I want their minds, I want their personalities." "A lot of these girls feel so awkward," Galster said. She said the perception is swimsuits can emphasize physical flaws, which shouldn't be part of the competition. Like other local competitions, Miss Antioch is a feeder to the Miss Lake County State Pageant, which does not have a bathing suit competition, Galster said. "Ladies, if you have been thinking about competing in this year's pageant but the swim suit portion of the pageant scares you, do not worry, we have taken it out of our pageant and replaced it with athletic wear," the Facebook post read. Advertising for applicants for the June 16 pageant was direct.
