In a legal move inspired by Taylor Swift's symbolic $1 countersuit, Shark Tank star Robert Herjavec filed a lawsuit against his former girlfriend, Danielle Vasinova, in 2017. Herjavec accused Vasinova of extortion, defamation, and intentionally spreading false claims that he had raped and assaulted her. Herjavec sought only $1 in damages, using the legal action as a platform to defend his name against what he called "fabricated and malicious" allegations.
