Stew Peters & Lauren Witzke In Legal Battle Over Rights to 'Died Suddenly' Documentary

Witzke was thought to be the gatekeeper to the Stew Peters network, and a reconciliation between the parties involved in the 'Died Suddenly' documentary film seems unlikely.

Conservative talking head and political pundit, Stew Peters, is reportedly in a legal battle with his former show producer, Lauren Witzke, over legal rights of “Died Suddenly,” the documentary film about the rise in vaccine injury in the years since 2020.

“Died Suddenly” was produced by Peters, Witzke and the filmmakers, Matt Skow, and Nicholas Stumphauzer.

Fokiss, Inc., a Minnesota-based company headed by Peters, filed a federal lawsuit in the Southern District of Florida against Lauren Witzke, Szall, TLM Global, LLC, and the directors of “Died Suddenly.”

The complaint allegeds that the TLM team of “unauthorized donation soliciations” on a website associated with the “Died Suddenly” documentary and that all named defendants made “improper” applications for trademarks which petained to the “Died Suddenly” brand.

The court filing included a copy of a termination letter sent by Stew Peters to Szall on January 27th, 2024, in an attempt end their business relationship.

The letter described “ownership confusion of the ‘DIED SUDDENLY’ name, twitter page, and documentary” and “unapproved postings, fundraiser, and even subscription sign ups” which Peters referred to as “criminal.”
