Samantha is promising to refile a stronger case...
From The Telegraph
The Duchess of Sussex's half-sister is planning to refile an “even stronger” defamation case against her sibling.
Samantha Markle’s legal team has revealed it will focus on comments Meghan made during her and the Duke of Sussex’s 2021 television interview with Oprah Winfrey.
The lawyers’ announcement comes after a Florida judge last week threw out part of the case related to the biography Finding Freedom by Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand.
Samantha Markle’s lawyers said it was “unfortunate” that the judge’s ruling was seen by many as the end of the legal action, known as “Markle vs Markle”.
Instead, they said the judge had allowed the legal team 14 days to amend their complaint.
Their statement adds: “This upcoming amendment will address certain legal issues that are related to our claims for defamation as it specifically relates to the Oprah interview on CBS.”
The statement, written by Samantha’s attorney, Jamie Sasson, says that “we vehemently oppose the narrative” the media reported claiming the Duchess had won, adding how they “look forward to presenting an even stronger argument for the defamation and losses that our client has had to endure.”
