"I lived with someone a few years ago that I thought to be a friend. After slowly realizing that they were completely mentally unstable, I basically tried to cut all ties with them and go home as little as possible. After the lease ran out and I left, I found an awful, vulgar post about me online that was full of hate, lies, and fake comments - all posted by the same person. I know it was him because I'd seen him on this hate-gossip site frequently before, always putting people on blast. There is no way to get these articles removed without the use of a lawyer. Every now and then I would see the article rise in search rankings on Google as it got more and more views, until it got where it is now - the #1 result for my name.

I haven't [overcome this]...I just moved to a new state and am seeking new full-time employment. I fear that every time I've applied for a job, someone Googles me and is faced with that article right at the top. I found a service that can remove it - for $2,600, which I just can't afford at this time. I need to find a good position, which I deserve, to make the money to get this removed - but I fear it's the very thing that has been stopping me from getting hired."
