Houston attorney Robert S. Bennett has sued a former legal assistant at his firm, alleging she made defamatory statements about him on Facebook.

Bennett, managing partner of Bob Bennett & Associates, seeks a permanent injunction to prohibit Xiomara Collins of Houston from making any false statements about him that disparage him; to mandate that Collins “correct all disparaging and false statements” about him allegedly posted on the Houston Family Law Facebook page or elsewhere on Facebook or the Internet; and to mandate that Collins offer a “formal public apology” to him, his firm, his clients and colleagues that meets his approval.
