Opinion
RUSHING, P. J.
I. Statement of the Case
Plaintiff Yvonne Wong (Wong), a pediatric dentist, filed an action against defendants Tai Jing (Jing), his wife Jia Ma (Ma), and the Web site Yelp.com (Yelp) based on allegedly false assertions contained in a review posted on Yelp that criticized the dental services Wong had provided to Jing and Ma’s young son. Defendants responded by filing an anti-SLAPP motion under Code of Civil Procedure section 425.16 to strike Wong’s claims.1 The trial court denied the motion, and defendants now appeal from that order. (§ 425.16, subd. (i).)
We reverse.
