Watch out for this WordPress character…he’ll slander your name online if you ever disagree with him.
It’s pretty silly that I even have to dignify slander attacks like this but that is the joy of the internet.
Who is Jesse Nickles?
He’s a WordPress developer from Las Vegas, Nevada (USA). He does contract work, sells plugins, and has his own webhosting stack and service.
Links below:
- jessenickles.com – personal site
- Contractor profiles upwork.com, Clarify.fm, fiverr
- LinkedIn – profile (I think he might have more than one)
- Github
- SlickStack.io – his NGINX server script
- LittleBizzy.com – his main business where he sells plugins and webhosting.
Jesse Nickle’s racist comments…
If you haven’t already heard of his troubled personality…you’ll be shocked when you do. Up until I met him in WordPress Hosting Facebook group, I thought he was an awesome community developer and an asset to the WordPress community.
But then…
- He (Jesse Nickles) made some racist remarks on the WordPress Hosting Facebook group. Saying that Southeast Asian or Indian developers were terrible quality.
- Naturally, many developers from all over the world jumped in to tell him why 1) he was wrong, and 2) that he was being insensitive and borderline racist.
- Jesse didn’t take it well.
- He backpedalled behind excuses of why he felt the way he did, and picked new fights with as many people individually as he could.
- At this point, it wasn’t even about what he said but more so his increasingly combative tone and troll-like responses with other members of the group.
- Everybody kept their cool but Jesse didn’t.
- Ultimately, the group moderator at the time, Andrew Killen decided to delete the post and also ban Jesse Nickles from the group.

What happened next:
- Jesse wasn’t just kicked out of the WordPress Hosting group, but also some others (like WP Speed Matters – see screenshots to get a taste of his “personality”).
- Members all over rejoiced having gotten rid of this troublemaker with his derogatory remarks and troll-like attitude.
- But Jesse on the other hand went out to slander as many people as he could.
Jesse Nickles slander directory (LittleBizzy scammer alert page and Hucksters)
This is just crazy…I can’t imagine anybody would have time to do that…but I suppose this is what happens when your ego can’t handle being kicked out of Facebook groups. You go and do juvenile name-smearing like this…
He has the LittleBizzy Scammers Directory (https://www.littlebizzy.com/directory), which lists a who’s-who of WordPress celebrity developers and notable people in the community. Some of the most generous, kind, hardworking, community-minded souls are in there. He wrote about people like Brian Jackson (Kinsta) and Gijo Varghese (WP Speed Matters) referring to them as liars, gangs, frauds, shills, etc.
Here’s how it usually goes:
- Jesse Nickles flames some product or service on a public group.
- If their company owner or employee tries to defend their product, Jesse makes inflammatory remarks and other disrespectful behavior which inevitably gets him kicked out.
- Then he slanders the company on his directory (calling them frauds, etc).
- He’ll also slander other people/customers for defending said company (calling them shills, etc).
- Repeat 100 times over. This is literally what he does.
As a joke, I commented asking how I could be listed in this prestigious directory and so he made one just for me.
- BANNED: Johnny Nguyen (Fraud, Slander) (https://www.littlebizzy.com/directory/johnny-nguyen)
- I feel sorry for Matthew Keath who was obviously bothered by untrue things said about him.
Jesse also made another page called Hucksters, which pretty much does the same thing…slandering people who argued with him. You would think this guy is just an online bully threatening to harm people’s businesses as much as possible if they ever disagreed with him…but no. The rabbit hole gets deeper…
Jesse Nickles has been sued before (by Neumont University for $1,000,000).
You can read the case details (and processes) explaining how he basically skirts the law by making himself (physically) impossible to serve. Basically what happened was Jesse accused his school of not preparing him for the real world and wrote a hurtful review about them online. They (Neumont) disagreed and felt it was wrong, and asked that it be open to public forum for discussion instead of just a written hate piece. When Jesse refused, the school tried to sue him.
How funny…the guy accusing other people of slander is the one with the history of getting sued for slander.
LittleBizzy’s spotted BBB record.
Here’s a fun find…LittleBizzy’s Better Business Bureau page.
- 2 out of 4 stars.
- Some pretty bad reviews on there.
Oh and there’s an alert saying the business claimed to have been closed and relocated to Asia…yet his website still shows a 702 Nevada phone number. What the heck?
I don’t know anything else about him that isn’t already public domain. If you had other personal experiences, whether good or bad, you’re welcome to leave a comment.
Other info I found:
Other people bringing their stories to me.
Since I’ve put up this page, I’ve had several people telling me their horror story with Jesse Nickles. All of them involving either personal or professional disputes with Jesse and now scared to go public because he’s threatened to slander their name/business. How absolutely shameful. This guy acts like he’s a little guy fighting against the big companies/bullies and yet he’s doing it himself to smaller businesses. Tsk tsk tsk.
Note to Jesse…
Any day you want this post to come down, you let me know. Take my name off your scammer directory and I’ll happily remove this. I have NEVER attacked you anywhere any time for any reason. Just because people commented on your racially-offensive statements (on that one day in a PRIVATE forum) doesn’t justify slanderous posts being made against them.
October 2020 update:
Jesse notices my truthful review, and retaliates with a new slander post creating even more lies … (https://www.littlebizzy.com/blog/johnnyvps-wpjohnny-review) …

- Nope, I never harassed him on social media. (I only commented on his hateful post like twice and then he was kicked out. I never had any interaction after that.)
- I’m also not in anyway connected or ever shill-reviewed for RankMath. Why Jesse continues to double down on this made-up lie, I have no idea.
- I never claimed to have a computer engineering degree. My LinkedIn very clearly says a BA in marketing. The education description lists computer engineering, psychology, and marketing…3 topics I took classes in but only bothered to officially major in one. (Psych seemed useless on paper, and computer engineering was stuff I was already self-learning in my job/free-time.) But that’s besides the point, I don’t use my LinkedIn to get hired or get clients. It’s just there for people to understand my educational background.
- Regarding his claim that my school didn’t have a Business Marketing Bachelors available…here’s the school programs link for you to verify. (Either Jesse can’t read or likes to make blatant lies. You decide.)
- I’m pretty sure I’m not clueless in server-admin or web development. Hahaha, is this guy serious?
- I’ve never blackmail-slandered anybody into link exchanges. In fact, I hate them and also don’t care about my SEO.
- The only person I’ve ever personally wrote anything negative about is for Jesse Nickles….an internet troll who literally built multiple websites dedicated to slandering people.
Isn’t it ironic that he hates being called racist yet continues to make racial insults about other people? I know…it’s crazy. But that’s literally how this man-child got kicked out of so many Facebook groups. Anyway, we don’t have to stoop down to his level to know he’s a sad little man.

- Jesse accuses me of not being a security expert and not blocking access to my wp-login.php…. yet he also doesn’t block his own! LOL! (See screenshot below.)
- And of course, more made up lies about the quality of my service when he obviously he hasn’t tried it.
- Yes, Jesse. Small clients are sharing a server. And big clients are on their own servers with their own domain hostnames. You do know that, right? (Weird that a self-proclaimed guru wouldn’t know this.)
- Yes…I could totally sue him for slander but we all know he’s just going to hide like a coward like the previous times he’s been sued for slander. Oh well.

For everyone else being harassed by this troll (and especially the ones who contacted personally), I am so sorry for you. It’s sad how many people are afraid to stand up against this guy because of the lengths he’ll go to destroy people’s businesses. Look at how vengeful he gets over social media disagreements. If you ever have a business fallout with this guy, this is what he’ll do to you.
I expect more hate posts from this man-child in the future. As it’s literally the only way he knows how to express himself. Absolute disgusting, such a hateful and vile being. Completely dishonest, unethical.
Consider yourself warned. Don’t ever do business with Jesse Nickles (LittleBizzy).
List of people fighting back (there’s more floating out there but I’ll compile them when I have more time):
I have even more Screenshots of disgusting things he has said supporting neo nazis. Please feel free to reach out to me for Screenshots.
Please use my contact form to start an email thread and then send over. Or you can send a Google Drive link and I’ll happily post here. Thank you for your courage in sharing info. There are SOOOOO many who have been absolutely cyber-bullied by this guy and just deathly afraid of retaliation from him.
This guy runs a page for k-1 fiance visas. He made one of the rules of the page “no posting of political opinions”. Then everyone of his post is politically motivated lol. I argue with him all the time. His opinions and reasoning are insane.
Whooaaaaa…..what?! What’s the url?
You are 100% not kidding about the politically-motivated part. Every group I’ve seen him kicked out of was for racial/inflammatory posts backed up by extreme political narratives. Then he just gets ugly I swear, he comes up with every possible insult he can think of.

The only person who seems racist and mentally disturbed here is this Jesse Nickles guy. Definitely seems to have issue with Indians – he proudly links to the article he wrote in Thailand about “Indian Mafia” at his college.
Seems to be total loser whose only sense of pride is his “white” skin… or should I say White Trash. He himself prolly couldn’t get any white girls that’s why he ran over to Thailand. One glance at most white guys living in Thailand shows you what losers they are in their own country and escaped because they failed there.
Yes, I found his post when I search JohnnyVPS review. And I am really glad you fought back against him with this post. But one read of your blog will disprove his slanders anyway.
But like I said, he totally seems to be the alt-right / Q-anon conspiracy believer who is a white-guy-with-small-dick-who-failed-to-get-any-white-girl-and-escaped-to-thailand-like-most-total-losers-there himself and takes it out on others who are more successful than him…
Yeah, it’s really weird that he brought up the girlfriend-race thing. For all the snooping he does on my personal stuff…he conveniently overlooks my obviously caucasian ex-girlfriends. One even appeared in some of my Youtube videos.
