    CHEHARDY, C.J.
    Appellant, Nicole T. Jones Cams (“Jones”), challenges the trial court’s April
    13, 2022 judgment, which issued a permanent order of protection from stalking
    against her in favor of appellee, Liseli Oliva Chavez (“Oliva”), on grounds that (1)
    the order of protection is vague and impinges upon her constitutional right to free
    speech protected by the First Amendment to the United States Constitution and
    Article I, § 7 of the Louisiana Constitution, and (2) Oliva failed to present evidence
    sufficient to show that an order of protection against Jones was warranted. For the
    reasons set forth more fully below, finding no abuse of discretion by the trial court
    or violation of Jones’ constitutional right to free speech, we affirm the trial court’s
    judgment.
    PROCEDURAL HISTORY
    On March 24, 2022, appellant, Jones, filed a petition for protection pursuant
    to La. R.S. 46:2171, et seq., known as the “Protection from Stalking Act.,” against
    appellee, Oliva, in the Twenty-Fourth Judicial District Court, Parish of Jefferson,
    Case No. 826-416, which was allotted to Judge June B. Darensburg, Division C.
    One week later, on March 31, 2022, Oliva filed a similar petition for protection
    from stalking against Jones on her own behalf, and on behalf of her minor child,
    A.K., and Richard Kelly (“Kelly”), the father of the minor child and then boyfriend
    of Oliva. On April 6, 2022, Case No. 826-677, Oliva’s petition for protection, was
    transferred to Division C, and was consolidated with Case No. 826, 416, Jones’
    petition for protection.
    In her petition, Oliva alleged that on January 13, 2021, Jones visited Kelly’s
    home and became irate when she realized that Oliva was living there, and from that
    date forward, Jones began harassing, stalking and cyberstalking her. The petition
    further alleged that Jones not only sent private messages to harass Oliva through
    social media and left messages on her social media platforms, Jones also created
    22-CA-385 C/W 22-CA-386                    1
    fake profiles using false photographs and sent messages to her through the fake
    accounts. Oliva’s petition alleged that Jones researched Oliva’s personal divorce
    records and sent threatening letters to her home. Additionally, Oliva’s petition
    alleged that Jones was posting on her own personal blog, public platforms, and
    tiktok accounts, personal information concerning Oliva and Kelly’s private
    relationship. Lastly, Oliva’s petition alleged that Jones stalked her at Planet
    Fitness in Metairie, Louisiana, and at Target, also in Metairie, necessitating police
    intervention.
    On March 31, 2022, the trial court issued a Uniform Abuse Protection Order
    – temporary restraining order, effective through April 13, 2022, prohibiting Jones
    from abusing, harassing, assaulting, stalking, following, tracking, monitoring, or
    threatening Oliva, her minor child, A.K, and Richard Kelly, in any manner. In
    addition, the TRO ordered Jones not to contact Oliva, A.K., or Kelly, personally,
    through a third party, or via public posting, by any means, including written,
    telephone, or electronic (text, email, messaging, or social media) communication
    without the express written permission of the court. Among other things, the TRO
    also ordered Jones not to come within 100 yards of Oliva, A.K., or Kelly, or within
    100 yards of their residence, apartment complex, or multiple family dwelling. The
    TRO further ordered Jones not to contact any family members or acquaintances of
    Oliva, A.K., or Kelly, and set an April 13, 2022 hearing date for Jones to show
    cause why, among other things, she should not be ordered to “remove her blog and
    social media which identifies [Oliva] and [Kelly].”1
    1
    On March 24, 2022, in response to the petition for protection against stalking filed by Jones
    against Oliva, the trial court issued a similar Uniform Abuse Protection Order – Temporary Restraining
    Order prohibiting Oliva from, among other things, stalking, harassing, or threatening Jones in any
    manner, and that Oliva not come within 100 feet of Jones or her residence. The order also ordered Oliva
    to stay away from Jones at the Planet Fitness located on Labarre Road in Metairie, Louisiana, and from
    contacting any family members or acquaintances of Jones.
    22-CA-385 C/W 22-CA-386                            2
    On April 13, 2022, Jones and Oliva appeared before the trial court, both in
    proper person, for a contradictory hearing on the respective petitions for protection
    from stalking filed by the parties. At the close of the hearing, the trial court
    granted both parties’ respective petitions for protection and entered mutual
    permanent orders of protection—one in favor of Jones against Oliva, and the other
    in favor of Oliva and the minor child, A.K., against Jones—stating:
    Both parties shall not reference the other party and/or
    protected persons in their social media blogs and/or
    webistes [sic]. All current references shall be removed
    within 30 days of this judgment.
    Prior to signing the respective orders, and having Jones and Oliva each
    review and sign the orders, the trial court stated:
    All right, Ladies, I’m going to review these very quickly;
    and then I’m going to give these to you to take a look at
    and to sign off on. … I’m going to give these to each of
    you, Ladies, before I spend time signing anything; this
    one on this side and this one to [Jones] in this side. …
    If you’ll read through it, if there’s anything we may have
    missed, anything we have incorrect, take a look at it.
    And if you’re comfortable with it, there is a page
    where you sign off. [Emphasis supplied.]
    After she reviewed the proposed orders of protection, Jones stated:
    Everything looks good. [Emphasis supplied.]
    Accordingly, the trial court, Jones, and Oliva each signed the mutual
    protective orders.
    This appeal filed by Jones, in proper person, followed.2
    FACTUAL BACKGROUND
    According to Jones, she was in a four-year relationship with Richard Kelly,
    and he fraudulently led her to believe that their relationship was monogamous.
    The relationship ended contentiously when Jones discovered that Kelly was
    2
    Oliva did not appeal the protective order granted in favor of Jones against her.
    22-CA-385 C/W 22-CA-386                            3
    simultaneously in an intimate relationship with Oliva, and was the father of Oliva’s
    three-year-old child.3
    Jones claims that, as a matter of self-help to cope and heal from Kelly’s
    devastating betrayal and deception, and with the intention of helping other women
    involved in similar situations, she created a public blog, entitled “Intuitively
    Challenged.” Jones contends that the “purpose and substance” of the blog was to
    share her experiences, not only regarding her involvement with Kelly, but also in
    other relationships. She avers that the blog talks about what it feels like to endure
    narcissistic abuse, how one can heal from it, and provides resources for people who
    visit the blog who are looking for help. Jones contends that the blog is not a gossip
    forum; it is a self-help blog that provides resources for people who may be
    suicidal, and a blog where people can find refuge. Additionally, Jones believes the
    blog’s growing success is due to a combination of the fact that she had a past toxic
    relationship, which was the source of her problems, and that she publicly shares
    her experiences with people who can relate.
    Jones denies that her blog ever mentioned by name, or used any identifiers
    of, either Kelly or Oliva. She contends that she was very careful not to use any
    language that would allow a reader of the blog, who did not have personal
    knowledge of Jones’ personal life, to know the subject of any of the situations
    described in her blog. Further, Jones claims that she monitored any comments
    made by others to make sure that no language used would identify the subject of
    any of the situations she described or those described by others sharing their own
    situations on her blog. While claiming that Oliva continuously stalked and
    3
    It appears from the record that Jones and Oliva, who, at the time, was married to Carlos Chavez,
    were impregnated by Kelly around the same time. Kelly allegedly encouraged both women to end their
    pregnancies; Jones did, but Oliva did not, resulting in the birth of a daughter while she was still married to
    Chavez.
    22-CA-385 C/W 22-CA-386                               4
    harassed her,4 Jones denies that she ever stalked or cyberstalked Oliva or Kelly,
    and contends that the incidents occurring at Planet Fitness and Target were
    initiated by Oliva. Additionally, she contends that, on both occasions, the
    Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office concluded that no crime had been committed by
    Jones and, thus, no arrests or citations were issued.5
    After reviewing the information contained in the records from both Jones’
    petition for protection filed against Oliva, and in Oliva’s petition for protection
    filed against Jones, as well as the parties’ presentations to the court at the
    contradictory hearing, the trial court found that neither party “had clean hands,”
    and that the issuance of mutual permanent protective orders was supported by the
    record. Consequently, the trial court rendered judgment granting both Jones and
    Oliva’s respective petitions for protection, and issued mutual permanent orders of
    protection as discussed above.
    ISSUES PRESENTED FOR APPELLATE REVIEW
    Jones raises two issues for this Court’s appellate review: (1) whether the trial
    court abused its discretion in issuing a permanent order of protection in favor of
    Oliva against Jones, when Oliva failed to present evidence to substantiate a claim
    for stalking; and (2) whether the permanent order of protection impinges upon
    Jones’ constitutional right of free speech protected by the First Amendment to the
    United States Constitution and Article 1, § 7 of the Louisiana Constitution.
    4
    In her petition for protection, Jones sought to prevent Oliva, personally or through third parties,
    “from leaving derogatory, threatening, and defamatory comments on her blog.”
    5
    On March 23, 2022, both Jones and Oliva were apparently working out at Planet Fitness in the
    same workout room. According to Oliva, initially Jones was simply standing and staring at her, and then
    approached Oliva and asked a question. Oliva initiated a 9-1-1 service call alleging a disturbance at
    Planet Fitness. When officers arrived, Oliva relayed that she had “previous problems inside the business
    (Planet Fitness) with [Jones],” and claimed that Jones was stalking her. On April 8, 2022, Oliva
    contacted the Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Department alleging that Jones was stalking her at Target. Jones
    denied the allegation and stated that they “just happened” to be at the same Target store at the same time.

    STANDARD OF REVIEW
    An appellate court reviews orders of protection against abuse for an abuse of
    discretion. Larremore v. Larremore, 52,879 (La. App. 2 Cir. 9/25/19), 
    280 So.3d 1282
    , 1289. Much discretion is vested in the trial judge, particularly in evaluating
    the weight of the evidence which is to be resolved primarily on the basis of the
    credibility of the witnesses. 
    Id.
     In matters of credibility, an appellate court must
    give great deference to the findings of the trier-of-fact. 
    Id.
     The trial court sitting
    as the trier of fact is in the best position to evaluate the demeanor of the witnesses,
    and its credibility determinations will not be disturbed on appeal absent manifest
    error. Ruiz v. Ruiz, 05-175 (La. App. 5 Cir. 7/26/05), 
    910 So.2d 443
    , 445. When a
    conflict in the testimony exists, reasonable evaluations of credibility and
    reasonable inferences of fact made by the trial court are not to be disturbed upon
    review, even though the appellate court may feel that its own evaluations and
    inferences are just as reasonable. Shaw v. Young, 15-974 (La. App. 4 Cir. 8/17/16),
    
    199 So.3d 1180
    , 1183. To reverse a fact-finder’s determination in an action
    seeking a protection from abuse order, the appellate court must find from the
    record that a reasonable factual basis does not exist for the finding of the trial court
    and that the record establishes that the finding is clearly wrong. Lepine v. Lepine,
    (La. App. 5 Cir. 5/15/17), 
    223 So.3d 666
    . Whether to grant a protective order, and
    the extent of protection, are within the discretion of the trial court, and an appellate
    court will not ordinarily modify or reverse a trial court in such matters absent an
    abuse of the trial court’s discretion. Palowsky v. Campbell, 21-279 (La. App. 5
    Cir. 8/26/21), 
    327 So.3d 589
    , 595, writ denied, 21-1428 (La. 11/23/21),

    DISCUSSION
    Sufficiency of the Evidence
    On appeal, Jones argues the trial court abused its discretion in granting
    Oliva’s petition for protection because Oliva failed to present any evidence at the
    hearing to support a claim for stalking or cyberstalking by Jones, and, accordingly,
    the protective order should be quashed. We disagree.
    Oliva petitioned the trial court for an order of protection from stalking
    pursuant to La. R.S. 46:2171, et seq., known as the “Protection from Stalking Act.”
    Under this Act, “stalking” means any act that would constitute the crime of
    stalking under La. R.S. 14:40.2 or cyberstalking under La. R.S. 14:40.3. See La.
    R.S. 46:2172; Head v. Robichaux, 18-366 (La. App. 1 Cir. 11/2/18), 
    265 So.3d 813
    , 816. A victim of stalking by a perpetrator who is a stranger to or
    acquaintance of the victim shall be eligible to receive all services, benefits, and
    other forms of assistance provided by Chapter 28 of Title 46, which is the
    “Protection from Family Violence Act” and includes specific statutes on
    “Domestic Abuse Assistance,” provided the services, benefits, and other forms of
    assistance are applicable based on the status of the relationship between the victim
    and the perpetrator. See La. R.S. 46:2173.6
    Under the “Domestic Abuse Assistance” law, La. R.S. 46:2131, et seq., to
    obtain a protective order, the petitioner must prove his or her allegations of
    domestic abuse by a preponderance of the evidence. La. R.S. 46:2135(B). Proof is
    sufficient to constitute a preponderance of the evidence when the entirety of the
    evidence, both direct and circumstantial, shows that the fact sought to be proved is
    6
    Louisiana courts have recognized that stalking (La. R.S. 14:40.2) and cyberstalking (La. 14:40.3)
    fall under the category of nonphysical offenses against the person included in the definition of physical
    abuse. S.M. v. T.M., 19-369 (La. App. 5 Cir. 12/26/19), 
    289 So.3d 141
    , 147.
    22-CA-385 C/W 22-CA-386                             7
    more probable than not. Hanks v. Entergy Corp., 06-477 (La. 12/18/06), 
    944 So.2d 564
    , 578.
    The crime of stalking is “the intentional and repeated following or harassing
    of another that would cause a reasonable person to feel alarmed or to suffer
    distress.” La. R.S. 14.40.2(A). The term “harassing” is defined as “the repeated
    pattern of verbal communications or nonverbal behavior without invitation which
    includes but is not limited to making telephone calls, transmitting electronic mail,
    sending messages via a third party, or sending letters or pictures.” La. R.S.
    14:40.2(C)(1). A “pattern of conduct” means “a series of acts over a period of
    time, however short, evidencing an intent to inflict a continuity of emotional
    distress upon the person.” La. R.S. 14:40.2(C)(2).
    Another “offense against the person” found in the Louisiana Criminal Code
    is the crime of cyberstalking, set forth in La. R.S. 14:40.3, states, in pertinent part:
    (B) Cyber stalking is action of any person to accomplish
    any of the following: …
    ***
    (2) Electronically mail or electronically communicate to
    another repeatedly, whether or not conversation ensues,
    for the purpose of threatening, terrifying or harassing any
    person.
    La. R.S. 14:40.3.
    The cyberstalking statute defines “electronic communication” as “any
    transfer of signs, signals, writing, images, sounds, data, or intelligence of any
    nature, transmitted in whole or in part by wire, radio, computer, electromagnetic,
    photoelectric, or photo-optical system.” La. R.S. 14:40.3(A)(1). The statute also
    defines “electronic mail” as the “transmission of information or communication by
    use of the internet, a computer, a facsimile machine, a pager, a cellular telephone, a
    video recorder, or other electronic means sent to a person identified by a unique
    address or address number and received by that person.” La. R.S. 14:40.3(A)(2).
    22-CA-385 C/W 22-CA-386                     8
    At the contradictory hearing, Oliva stated that Jones’ harassment has
    occurred for over a year and that Jones “will not leave [her] alone.” She averred
    that she had more than 60 pages of communications, including emails and direct
    contacts through her Facebook page, from Jones and Jones’ family members to
    Oliva. Oliva contends that on Jones’ public blog, which was created after Jones’
    separation from Kelly, Jones talks about Oliva and lets “everyone know all of [her]
    information.” According to Oliva, while Jones does not refer to Oliva specifically
    by name in the blog, when writing about her experiences regarding her former
    relationship with Kelly, Jones refers to Oliva as the “new supply.” Additionally,
    Oliva stated that Jones contacted her ex-husband, researched her marital records
    and the history of her Planet Fitness gym membership, visited her 10-year-old
    daughter’s social media page, and had her daughters contact Oliva directly. Oliva
    further stated that, because of all of the distress created by Jones’ continued
    harassment, Oliva has experienced two miscarriages since January 2021, when this
    debacle began.
    At the close of the hearing, the trial court made the following factual
    findings:
    I don’t think any party has a clean hand in any of this. I
    can understand some things that have occurred, that
    could make a person very angry. But when one of you
    enter [sic] a place, a proper thing to do is leave. ...
    ***
    Both of you posted something to inflame the situation,
    and it needs to stop; so everybody will remove any public
    media posts that’s out there. Any blogs that refers to the
    other person, I order it removed.
    ***
    Because I’ve said, I don’t think any party has clean hands
    in this; that both parties have done some things that have
    inflamed the other person. And it’s better to have mutual
    stay away orders, protective orders against both of you
    and move on, Ladies. Move on with your life.
    ***
    And when I say do not refer to the other person in blogs,
    on websites, I mean I’m not just talking about stating
    their names. I mean even in an indirect way. Like this
    22-CA-385 C/W 22-CA-386                    9
    lady did - - and we know what you’re talking about. No.
    That is a violation of the protective order; so don’t think
    you can get around it by stating something other than the
    person’s name or someone else stating something other
    than the person’s name.
    ***
    … As far as Richard, [he is] fair game. And when I say
    game, he’s not a part of this protective order is what I
    mean by that.
    ***
    I’m going through the record, reading some things; and
    so that’s why I say neither one of you had clean hands in
    this; so coming to pretend that, or even if you’re
    responding to someone, you respond responsibly. You
    don’t respond in a way that drags you into the same
    category as them.
    Upon review, based on the totality of the record, we find no abuse of the trial
    court’s discretion in finding that Jones’ alleged communications through social
    media and otherwise constitute a “repeated pattern of verbal communications or
    nonverbal behavior without invitation” that would cause a reasonable person to
    suffer emotional distress under the circumstances. As with the stalking statute, the
    harassing e-mails and text messages to Oliva from Jones would constitute
    cyberstalking. For these reasons, we find no merit to this assignment of error, and
    affirm the trial court’s judgment granting a permanent protective order against
    Jones and in favor of Oliva.
    The Order of Protection does not violate Jones’ First Amendment rights to
    free speech.
    In this assignment of error, Jones focuses solely on the following language
    set forth in the mutual protective orders:
    Both parties shall not reference the other party and/or
    protected persons in their social media blogs and/or
    webistes [sic]. All current references shall be removed
    within 30 days of this judgment.
    Despite having reviewed the specific language and having represented to the
    trial court that “[e]verything looks good” prior to signing the order, Jones argues
    that this language places an impermissible restriction on her First Amendment right
    22-CA-385 C/W 22-CA-386                      10
    to free speech under both the United States Constitution and the Louisiana State
    Constitution. Specifically, Jones asserts that, insofar as the order of protection
    establishes that she must limit what she says in her public blog, this is a clear
    violation of her right to freedom of speech protected by La. Const. art. I, § 7, and
    that, if she wanted to, Jones could use Oliva’s actual name or any identifiers.
    According to Jones, as long as she is not advocating violence or lawlessness
    against Oliva, the trial court “cannot, in any way, limit her freedom of speech.”
    Jones further argues that the order is unconstitutionally vague as it does not define
    what is meant by “reference.” We disagree.
    The right to free speech is guaranteed in the constitutions of both the United
    States and Louisiana. The First Amendment to the United States Constitution
    provides, in pertinent part:
    Congress shall make no law … abridging the freedom of
    speech, or of the press[.]
    The Louisiana Constitution Art. 1, § 7, states:
    No law shall curtail or restrain the freedom of speech or
    of the press. Every person may speak, write, and publish
    his sentiments on any subject, but is responsible for
    abuse of that freedom.
    Louisiana’s interest in protecting the reputations of private individuals is
    clearly expressed and preserved in our constitution, which has expressly balanced
    the right of free speech with the responsibility for abuse of that right. See Kennedy
    v. Sheriff of E. Baton Rouge, 05-1418 (La. 7/10/06), 
    935 So.2d 669
    .
    The First Amendment does not guarantee the right to communicate one’s
    views at all times and places or in any manner that may be desired. Godwin v. East
    Baton Rouge Parish School Bd., 
    408 So.2d 1214
    , 1217 (La. 1981). Moreover, the
    United States Supreme Court has held that not all speech is of equal First
    Amendment importance. It is speech on matters of public concern that is at the
    heart of the First Amendment’s protection. Dun & Bradstreet, Inc. v. Greenmoss
    22-CA-385 C/W 22-CA-386                   11
    Builders, Inc., 
    472 U.S. 749
    , 758-59, 
    105 S.Ct. 2939
    , 2944-45, 
    86 L.Ed.2d 593
    ,
    (1985); Wainwright v. Tyler, 52,083 (La. App. 2 Cir. 6/27/18), 
    253 So.3d 203
    , 214.
    Matters of public concern relate to any matter of political, social, or other concern
    to the community. Connick v. Myers, 
    461 U.S. 138
    , 145, 
    103 S.Ct. 1684
    , 1689, 
    75 L.Ed.2d 708
     (1983). Whether speech addresses matters of public concern must be
    determined by the content, form, and context of a given statement, as revealed by
    the entire record. See Yount v. Handshoe, 14-919 (La. App. 5 Cir. 5/28/15), 
    171 So.3d 381
    , 385. Abuses of the right to free speech are actionable under Louisiana
    law, particularly when the speech tends to harm the reputation of another so as to
    lower the person in the estimation of the community or to deter others from
    associating or dealing with the person or otherwise exposes the person to contempt
    or ridicule. Costello v. Hardy, 03-1146 (La. 1/21/04), 
    864 So.2d 129
    , 139-40; see
    also Trentecosta v. Beck, 96-2388 (La. 1-/21/97), 
    703 So.2d 552
    , 559.
    Here, it appears that the references to Oliva on Jones’ public blog, albeit
    indirect, have nothing to do with any discussions involving matters of “public
    concern.” In fact, Jones expressly stated that her blog was initiated as a matter of
    “self-help” to personally cope and heal from Kelly’s devastating betrayal and
    deception in their private relationship, and that the “purpose and substance” of the
    blog was to share her experiences involving her own personal relationships.
    Instead, taken in their proper context, the indirect references to Oliva on Jones’
    blog appear to be nothing more than personal attacks on Oliva’s character and a
    smear campaign to impugn Oliva’s reputation—speech which is not protected by
    the First Amendment. While we commend Jones for her efforts to assist other
    persons that are struggling in and/or attempting to heal from toxic relationships, we
    can conceive of no reason, other than to harass, harm Oliva’s reputation, or expose
    her to contempt or ridicule, for Jones, either individually or through a third party,
    to mention or make reference to Oliva, directly or indirectly, in her public blog.
    22-CA-385 C/W 22-CA-386                   12
    We find that Jones has failed to show that the order of protection in this case
    violates her constitutional right to free speech or that the order of protection is
    vague or unduly restrictive. The trial judge made it very clear to the parties what
    she meant by “referencing” the other in their respective blogs. The order does not
    prohibit Jones from sharing on her blog about her unfortunate experiences with
    Kelly, and the hard lessons she has learned from that relationship and/or other
    relationships. The order, however, does prohibit Jones, in discussing her
    misfortune with Kelly, from mentioning anything that references Oliva in any way.
    CONCLUSION
    For the foregoing reasons, the judgment of the trial court is affirmed.
