In late January … Oz posted a video across social media showing him riding in a car and posing outside businesses, claiming billions of dollars in healthcare fraud — including alleged hospice schemes — are tied to what he describes as the “Russian Armenian Mafia.”
Ivanyan says Oz filmed right outside her business while laying this out … making it look like her shop is part of a criminal operation — something she says is completely false.
The lawsuit claims the video reached millions of viewers … and Oz’s defamatory statements were also amplified by L.A. local news outlets, which added fuel to the fire.
As a result … Ivanyan claims the alleged defamatory statements spread rapidly — reaching her customers and the broader community. She says the video hurt her business and reputation … and she’s now seeking damages.
We reached out to reps for Oz … so far, no word back.
