BEHIND THE LOBBY:
Justice •  Luxury •  Legal Revenge

The Woman Who Became Justice...

One woman vs. a corporate empire that weaponized silence. A true story of abuse, power, and the illusion of luxury that protected it all. 

 

I gave Marriott International years of loyalty. They answered with erasure. Now, I'm dismantling the façade: the marble walls, the empty slogans, the manipulation disguised as prestige.

 

Welcome to the unraveling of an empire that chose image over integrity.

And the rise of the woman they tried to silence.

Defamation Case

VOSOOGHI ZADEH v. CHEDIE

 

The email speaks for itself. Instead of addressing the false $10,000 repayment claim they defend in Court, I am met with delays, misdirection, and attempts to shift responsibility back onto me.

When someone sues you for speaking the truth, then actively resists having the motion heard, the message becomes clear:

the goal was never justice, it was silence.

Marriott holiday party

Even with open legal proceedings, police involvement, and documented concerns, Joshua Fernandes remains embraced and protected by the same people that dismissed the harm done by him: by Marriott International.

He is celebrated.
Protected.
Held close.

But I don't need to be in their rooms anymore.
They will end up in mine.
In the courtroom.

The Bank Records vs. His $10,000 Claim

When institutions protect someone who caused harm, it's bad enough. But when a lawyer steps in and defends the lie after being shown evidence, it becomes something else entirely.

So the lawyer stalls, the corporation protects. And the man who started all this hides behind both.

And whether it's the anti-SLAPP motion, the Small Claims case, or the criminal proceedings - every path leads to the same destination:
truth on the record.

Court order (small Claims)

A court-ordered settlement conference in Small Claims Court.
I attended. He didn't.

You can run from responsibility for months, even years. But you can't outrun the truth forever.

The Court made something clear: next time, the consequences fall on Joshua, not me. This case is moving forward, with or without his cooperation.

My Story

They dressed corruption in suits and called it leadership.

They built their reputation on the back of the loyal, and buried truth and pain beneath polished marble and brand promises.

I learned that power doesn't always wear a crown,

it sometimes hides behind a company logo.

​​​

Their power was borrowed, but mine?

Mine was earned.
