Eddie McGuire threatens action over fake Facebook Viagra ad

‘I’m gonna sue their arses off.’


Kyle & Jackie O had a chat with Eddie McGuire this morning, who revealed someone from Doctor Phil’s camp has reached out to him after they were both featured in a fake Facebook advertisement promoting a Viagra-like substance.

McGuire told Kyle and Jackie O’s KIIS Breakfast show how he found out about his fake ad on Sunday and how the ad is connected with people in Panama and New York City.​

The fabricated story features a fake quote: “I’ve tried Viagra, I’ve tried Red Ginseng, I’ve tried Cialis. TryVexan blows them all away.”​

“I am so confident in the product Dr Phil and I have created that I am offering free samples to our viewers,” the fake story reads. “I wouldn’t talk about something on air I don’t believe and haven’t tried myself.”​

On his own station Triple M, Melbourne, McGuire said “Clearly this is defamatory against me and it’s illegal to use someone’s likeness and purport it to be them. I’m gonna sue their arse off.”
