Well, it looks like Samantha Markle is headed for another humiliating legal defeat.
As we previously reported, Samantha is suing her sister Meghan Markle for defamation, alleging that the Duchess of Sussex lied about her upbringing during an interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2021.
Now, if you watch that interview, and you barely even feel like Meghan mentioned His evil half-sister, so you’re absolutely right.
Meghan only said that she had a difficult childhood and often felt like an only child, which was apparently enough to send Samantha into a rage and prompt her to take legal action.
Scammy Sammy is the embodiment of the main character syndrome, and there’s a good chance he sees himself as a heroic hero speaking up for those whose lives were ruined by siblings who wanted to be successful. went and continued to ignore them.
But it’s equally possible that like all the best grifters, she’s acutely self-aware and knows exactly what she’s attempting to do here.
Whatever the case, like an unmasked Scooby-Doo villain, it seems his apparent plan crumbles under the slightest scrutiny.
Lawyers for both Markles were in court on Wednesday, and to say that the trial didn’t go well for Sam is like saying that Meghan Little The more famous and well liked sister.
According to a new report from TMZ, Meghan’s attorneys aptly pointed out that their client has never denied Samantha’s existence.
In her conversation with Oprah, Meghan was only giving a subjective impression of her childhood.
Samantha, let’s note, is 17 years older than Meghan and they both have different mothers.
They grew up in separate homes, and Meghan says she views Samantha as more of a distant relative than a half-sibling.
Much to the chagrin of Samantha Grant (who only changed her name to Markle after her sister became one of the most famous people on the planet), Meghan is allowed to feel that way and express that feeling publicly .
Anyway, Samantha is suing Meghan for $75,000, but her main goal in all of this was probably to force a high profile legal battle, which she could later take advantage of for the book deal.
Now it looks like it will fail on both counts.
According to TMZ, Judge Charlene Edwards Honeywell said in court that she was “struggling” to see how Meghan’s comments could possibly be considered defamatory.
Judge Honeywell had previously announced that Meghan and Prince Harry would be forced to sit down to testify, which may have been enough to give Samantha a glimmer of hope.
But the judge also wrote that the case is “ripe for dismissal,” which is basically judge-speak for “Who does this coattail-riding loser think he is?”
We’ll have more updates on this developing story, but thankfully it doesn’t look like there will be much more to report here.
