Meghan Markle has won a motion to have a defamation case brought against her by her half-sister Samantha Markle thrown out of court.
The case was dismissed with prejudice which means Samantha cannot drag Meghan back to court for the same thing again.
“[Samantha’s] claims will be dismissed with prejudice, as she has failed to identify any statements that could support a claim for defamation or defamation-by-implication by this point, her third try at amending her complaint, in either the book ‘Finding Freedom,’ the Netflix series ‘Harry & Meghan,’ or [Meghan] and her husband’s hour-long televised CBS Interview. As such, the Third Amended Complaint will be dismissed, with prejudice.”
The judge added that Samantha had failed to specify any statements that could support a defamation claim and that she had merely been expressing her opinions in her legal filing. Samantha had been seeking $75,000 from the Duchess of Sussex for defamation.
Meghan’s does not associate with her family on her father’s side.
