Kevin O’Leary is being sued for defamation by a group fighting data center construction in Utah after the “Shark Tank” star went on Fox News and claimed some of the individuals involved with the opposition have ties to China, according to The Hill.

The suit, which was also against Fox News, was filed on Wednesday in Utah federal district court by Alliance for a Better Utah, Elevate Strategies, Gabrielle Finlayson and Josh Kanter. It claimed that Kanter and Finlayson “suffered devastating reputational harm, significant economic losses, severe emotional distress, and ongoing threats to their physical safety” after O’Leary went “on the attack” during his Fox News appearance.
