Florida court dismisses claims the Duchess of Sussex spread 'demonstrably false and malicious lies'

Posted by Susan T on March 31, 2023, 2:17 pm, in reply to "March 31 - Sussex Thread"

The Duchess of Sussex was accused of spreading 'demonstrably false and malicious lies' to a 'worldwide audience' in the royal couple's tell-all interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2021.

But a Florida judge has dismissed the lawsuit, saying the former Suits actress was expressing 'an opinion about her childhood and her relationship with her half-sibling' and a statement of pure opinion was 'not capable of being proved false'.

In court papers seen by the PA new agency, US District Judge Charlene Edwards Honeywell wrote: 'As a reasonable listener would understand it, defendant merely expresses an opinion about her childhood and her relationship with her half-siblings.

'Thus, the court finds that defendant's statement is not objectively verifiable or subject to empirical proof.... plaintiff cannot plausibly disprove defendant's opinion of her own childhood.'

Judge Honeywell also found the duchess could not be liable for the contents of the book because she did not publish it.

Judge Honeywell is an ass.

According to the judge's own reasoning, that statement can't be proven false. Therefore, it's fact that he's an ass.

I think Samantha was the ass. There was no way she was going to win this.

I'd say there was plenty of assery to go around. Meghan, Samantha, the judge--no one has emerged as clean.

Disagree about the judge.

Long before the interview with Oprah, it was evident that Samantha and her sister were daggers drawn and estranged. Harry's wife claiming that she was an only child didn't defame Samantha.

I agree about Samantha and Meghan. We'll have to agree to disagree about the judge.

I knew the judge would dismiss the complaint, defamation is hard to prove. Samantha would have been better off staying quiet, unfortunately she appears to be looking for money, even though that may certainly not be the case. Well, Samantha and her attorney can refile in 14 days, I think her attorney stated some weeks ago that if the case was dismissed, it would be refiled.

Didn't work or more than likely Harry and Meghan didn't listen or follow advice.

Old Clip: Charles Explaining Protocol To Harry And Meghan

Old and short clip, you can tell Charles lost his patience with the Dimwit Duo and Meghan is livid at being put in her place. The music is dumb so you can mute the music.

Charles was annoyed because they weren't supposed to attend this part of the event (anniversary of Charles being invested as Prince of Wales). They were supposed to have waited in another room along with Princess Anne and other guests.

Only the Queen, Charles and Camilla, William and Catherine were supposed to view the Prince of Wales regalia. He was telling them to stay back.

Maybe somebody should send Charles the link to this video to remind him what he can expect from them at the Coronation.

I cringe every time I see this clip, or indeed the entire incident. Even Harry looks a little embarassed.

Meghan's narcissism would tell her what to do, and then she would drag victim/willingest lamb to the slaughter ever Harry along with her. The fact that her narcissism hs been wrong ever single time would not register with Harry's wife, because it would also tell her that all the pr fiascos have been other people's fault or are because people are racist.
