James Woods Sues Twitter User for $10 Million Over "Cocaine Addict" Accusation

The actor filed a defamation lawsuit against an individual who replied to Woods' tweets about Barack Obama and Caitlyn Jenner.
Incivility on social media seems to be a regular occurrence, and celebrities usually shrug it off (or don't even read the comments from people who are tweeting at them), but James Woods is making a $10 million case about it.
On Wednesday, the actor went to the Los Angeles Superior Court and sued the anonymous individual who is tweeting as "Abe List" for defamation over a derogatory tweet that suggested Woods was a "cocaine addict" — a message that Woods complains was sent to "thousands of AL's followers and hundreds of thousands of Mr. Woods' followers."
Woods is taking a stand. "AL's reckless and malicious behavior, through the worldwide reach of the internet, has now jeopardized Woods' good name and reputation on an international scale," states the complaint. "AL, and anyone else using social media to propagate lies and do harm, should take note. They are not impervious to the law."
