Meghan Markle has successfully had her half-sister's defamation lawsuit dismissed. It comes after a judge ruled in Meghan's favour.
Meghan had been accused of spreading "malicious lies" about Samantha Markle during her 2021 Oprah Winfrey interview - and again in 2020 with statements to journalists. Meghan has now had the lawsuit dismissed as a Florida judge said her statements were pure opinion and "not capable of being proved false".
Judge Charlene Honeywell did offer Samantha the opportunity to refile her claim, adding she could "replead" for damages on injurious falsehood over a CBS TV interview Meghan gave. Samantha sued her half-sister after alleging Meghan defamed and embarrassed her by telling Oprah she was raised as an "only child", reports the Daily Record.
