Meghan Markle Wins Defamation of Character Lawsuit Filed by Her Sister


Last year actress Meghan Markle's half sister Samantha filed a defamation of character lawsuit against the duchess claiming she caused her emotional distress and damaged her book sales with comments about their family made in her interview with Oprah Winfrey [click here if you missed that]. 

The case has been dismissed...

Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, has emerged victorious from a defamation lawsuit filed against her by her half-sister Samantha Markle.
The actor and estranged royal had been accused by her relative of spreading “malicious lies” during an explosive 2021 interview with Oprah Winfrey and alleged statements to journalists in 2020.
But on Thursday a Florida judge dismissed the lawsuit, saying that Ms Markle’s statements were pure opinion and “not capable of being proved false”.
"As a reasonable listener would understand it, Defendant merely expresses an opinion about her childhood and her relationship with her half-siblings," wrote US District Judge Charlene Edwards Honeywell her order.
"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."

Good for her. I wonder if Mariah's sister will see a similar outcome with her lawsuit.

I just think its weird how we havent heard a thing from her Black side of the family. I keep hearing they are upstanding and accomplished individuals but that still doesnt explain why the tabloids dont release photos of them. Furthermore not one of them were at her wedding, minus the mother of course. Its just weird. Where are they hiding....the North Pole?

The looney sister needs to focus on her life. Stop harassing this woman.

@9:33AM. Not only where are they hiding but why? I also want to know why none of them was at the wedding. It is very odd especially from someone who objects to their racist in-laws.

The only ppl coming forward are low life Yt trailer trash that want money.
Who wants Paps hanging around peeping in the windows, digging in their trash looking for dirt so they can make money off MM black relatives. Use some common sense.

There is nothing more crazy or dangerous than a jealous sibling. They feel entitled just because u share DNA. Crazy

Good for her. As for Meghan’s family, when she was pregnant living across the pond, her black relatives(mom’s family) held a baby shower in Georgia, for her and Prince Harry. It was on Inside Edition, and they said all the gifts were going to be delivered to Meghan. Unlike her dad and sis, they were happy for her. This was when she was pregnant with Archie.

I too was raised by my mom who is Black and grew up with her side of the family. I had so much love I never noticed the White side missing. I just never thought about it. When I hit my 30s, the white side came into my life because our father was elderly, but my connection with them lasted about 4 yrs total before I ended it. That side had so much drama it was draining. Also, I soon learned that mixed people, even those who look totally white like myself are secretly viewed as totally Black by Whites. They don't see mixed raced, they see Black, period. So they never move beyond color. One of the cousins honored a confederate general on her page and I was done for life. I'm good with momma's side. Lol

ARE YOU DUMB? Meghan claims the british tabloids are racist vultures who cant stand her and have launched some loony vendetta against her, so if thats true why havent her Black relatives complained about harassment??? You think the British media doesnt already know where they work and live? Use Common SENSE.

ARE YOU DUMB? The British media already knows where MM's Black side of the family live. They could follow them everyday if they wanted to. Obviously Meghan has exaggerated the British media's interest in her life.

This dusty saltine is so angry that her biracial, prettier sister married a prince that she decided to act the fool for profit and jealousy. Take that L!

British media is on a whole other level… which is why they left. I’m fine that here, everything is not my business.

Y’all can say what you want, but she’s hiding her Black relatives and a lot of Black people are giving the Duchess the side eye.

We’ve seen her mama and daddy, and those half Markle siblings. Who else are y’all trying to see? There’s plenty of celebs out here that have never shown their immediate family, but we seen Meghan’s, yet want the distant relatives and cousins too?! Smh. It’s not that serious. Her dad’s side is embarrassing enough. Let her mom’s side live in privacy and peace.

This chick need to go away and stop being a pest not even her mother tries to be seen with her publicly. None of her first cousins down in Compton even claiming her the public have seen her for the liar and gas lighter that she is so let it be.

You know exactly who we’re trying to see. We have not seen her Black relatives on her mother’s side. Why weren’t they at the wedding? She can have lunch with Serena and Oprah but not her family? I say she’s ashamed of them and shame on her if that’s the case.

Y’all ever thought maybe her mom doesn’t have a relationship with her kin, and kept her away from her family? She’s her mama’s only child. If they weren’t trying to reach out to get to know her before the fame, keep that same energy ijs. 🤷🏾‍♀️ Look at the half siblings. Her sister is 16 years older than her, and only been around her a handful of times. But she expects Royal treatment and recognition, even though she speaks ill of her little half-sis she barely knows. With family like that, I would keep them away too!
