Ellen DeGeneres is pushing back against a lawsuit connected to a 2023 car crash, with her legal team now challenging whether the case was even properly served in the first place. According to court documents obtained by People Magazine, her attorneys are asking the court to throw out the delivery of legal papers related to the alleged incident, calling the process invalid.
The filing explains that DeGeneres’ legal team submitted a motion to quash the service of summons after the plaintiff claimed there were three separate attempts to deliver the documents on 5th, 6th and 7th January of this year. But her lawyers argue that those attempts do not meet the legal standard because the paperwork was never delivered directly to DeGeneres.
