Melvin Daniel Spaulding, known as “Dan the Sorcerer,” has sued Amber Lee Rose — an online occult creator known as “Ambrosia the Witch” — alleging she defamed him by calling him a “disqualified MAGA and Trump aligned witch” and “sexual predator.”

Both creators have built large followings on TikTok and Instagram by sharing spells, occult practices and spiritual beliefs, with Rose commanding 160,000 TikTok followers where she posts “Witch Tips” and spells.
Rose sells products through her business, The Veiled Arts Apothecary.
According to the lawsuit, Rose targeted “MAGA witches” in a Jan. 21 post, saying they were neither “very pretty” nor “very bright.”
Days later, she allegedly escalated the attacks by implying Spaulding was politically, socially, morally and professionally unfit to be part of the spiritual and occult community.
The lawsuit also alleges Rose falsely labeled Spaulding a “sexual predator” and “white male occultist” guilty of misconduct involving women and “predatory behavior,” publishing the claims to her followers, the WitchTok community, the broader occult community, and current and prospective clients.
Spaulding claims the statements caused reputational damage, emotional distress and lost income, and is seeking general, special and economic damages.
Rose’s shop, The Veiled Arts Apothecary, sells products such as “Emergent Bath Potion” for $16 and “Vamp Repellent Oil” for $34.
The Vamp Repellent is described as “a potent shielding blend designed to block psychic vampires, sever energy cords, and strengthen your energetic body, ensuring your energy remains yours,” and contains mugwort, rosemary, and angelica root.
When confronted about the allegations, Rose denied knowing Spaulding.
“I have no idea who this Sorcerer Dan person is. I have never made any content about this person,” Rose told The California Post.
The conflict centers on public statements made in late January 2026.
Rose’s initial post on Jan. 21 criticized “MAGA witches” broadly before her subsequent posts singled out Spaulding with specific accusations of sexual misconduct.
The allegations appeared across multiple platforms where both creators maintain active audiences.
Both Spaulding and Rose operate within the broader “WitchTok” community, a segment of TikTok dedicated to occult practices and spiritual content that has grown significantly in recent years.
The lawsuit demands damages for the impact Rose’s posts allegedly had on Spaulding’s reputation and livelihood in the occult and spiritual community.
Spaulding seeks compensation for what he describes as financial and emotional harm stemming from Rose’s public statements.
The case raises questions about defamation liability in the creator economy and how false allegations spread across social media platforms.
