Libelous, yes. But a lot of stuff is stupid speculation and gossip. I tend to default on the internet is too damn big, full of trolls, angry and ignorant people. Unless something is projected on a large and reputable platform and is causing problems in your life...the effort to getting rid of it is not going to be worth it, even addressing it brings it more attention. I also fall on to the "he doth protests too much."
I look at it this way. If I saw images of my actual penis online, I would be alarmed. If I saw something that was clearly not mine...I just don't see myself getting worked up, I would probably smirk, laugh and move on with my day. Anyone, at any given moment can take a picture of a celebrity and then a random dick pic and plop them on any one of a half a dozen well known celeb nude haunts and say "this is his dick pic." You will get tons of back and forth on authenticity. Unless confirmed by the subject himself, a mole, scar or uncommon furniture, home decorations...there is no way to prove 95% of the "assumed nudes" are authentic.
Maybe I am just projecting my thought processes, but to me the reaction is more telling than anything.
According to MG and the rest of the internet, pretty much any Instagram hottie is an escort. Apparently this is just an assumed default for all attractive people? I think that type of speculation is nonsensical and have no idea why anyone would invest much effort in combatting it. Same thing with speculating on sexuality. Just not worth it.

I know it’s difficult to identify People who post false and defamatory Content online, but he and hers should pursue legal action against those who continue to post libelous things. People need to be held accountable for their intentionally defamatory and vile actions.
