獨立評論人協會 批評內容失實，向餘非同埋出版該書嘅三聯書店發出律師信，要求佢哋喺報章發表聲明撤回言論同道歉，刪除有關段落先可以發行。 由於餘非同三聯書店拒絕更正同道歉，獨立評論人協會喺2015年6月30號宣佈已正式入稟高等法院控告對方誹謗。    2021年3月29號，餘非敗訴並需賠償25萬元。
The Association of Independent Critics criticized the inaccuracy of the content and sent a lawyer's letter to Yu Fei and Joint Publishing Co., Ltd., which published the book, asking them to issue a statement in the newspaper to retract the remarks and apologize, and to delete the relevant paragraphs before they could be published. On 30 June 2015, the Independent Critics Association announced that it had filed a defamation lawsuit in the High Court.    On March 29, 2021, Yu Fei lost the lawsuit and needed to pay 250,000 yuan in compensation.
