Tiffany Cianci was a franchisee owner who fought back against the private equity firm who bought her franchise. When she organized with fellow franchisees to protect their rights and to protect their businesses, the private equity firm spent millions of dollars to smear her, try to ruin her reputation, and even at one point they tried to get the court to order her into a forced abortion. RFK Jr. called “the most egregious case of lawfare against a small business owner he’s ever encountered”.
