Samantha Markle’s Defamation Lawsuit Against Half-Sister Meghan Markle Has Been Dismissed
Before Meghan Markle and Prince Harry told THEIR TRUTH in a multi-part Netflix docuseries, his memoir Spare, and to anyone who puts a mic in their faces, they told THEIR TRUTH to Oprah in 2021. During that interview, Meghan said she was raised as an “only child.” Well, Samantha Markle, daughter of Meghan’s father, Thomas Markle, and Meghan’s half-sister, used that to file a defamation lawsuit a year ago. Samantha’s lawsuit claimed that Meghan was telling lies when she called herself an only child. A few months after the lawsuit was filed, Meghan’s lawyer filed to dismiss it, saying that Meghan was talking about her own impressions of her own childhood. And in February, it looked like the judge was going to throw Samantha’s lawsuit out. That’s what happened this week.
“Real Housewives Of Potomac’s” Candiace-Dillard Bassett Has Been Sued By Michael Darby For $2 Million For Defamation
Potomac’s resident Gollum, Michael Darby, has returned, and he wants his precious back, and by precious, we don’t mean a ring or his soon-to-be ex-wife Ashley Darby; we mean his public image. Michael Darby, known for being a slimeball, cheater, and alleged groper, is suing Candiace-Dillard Bassett for $2 million over allegations she made about his sex life in an episode from this current season of The Real Housewives of Potomac. Doesn’t this man have better things to do? Like seizing a ring from a hobbit?
Jeff Bezos’s Former Housekeeper Is Suing For Mistreatment Including The Lack Of Bathroom Breaks
Something is up with the billionaires. While Elon Musk decides to make Twitter even more of a hellscape for millions of users (and rack up some sweet lawsuits in the process), Jeff Bezos is keeping it a bit more localized and simply harassing his housekeeping staff. Ex-staff member Mercedes Wedaa slapped Bezos with a lawsuit accusing Bezos’s companies of racial discrimination and Bezos himself for barring her and her colleagues from taking rest breaks. She claims that access to bathrooms was particularly difficult and, in some cases, required climbing out the window. With previous news of Amazon workers peeing in bottles, it appears that Bezos genuinely doesn’t want us to piss!
Tiffany Haddish And Aries Spears Are Being Sued For Child Sexual Abuse
Tiffany Haddish and Aries Spears are being sued for child sexual abuse by two siblings. TMZ reports that the lawsuit says the comedians groomed a 14-year-old girl and her 7-year-old brother back in 2013 and 2014. They allegedly convinced the kids to appear in a sexually suggestive comedy video, one of which was entitled “Through a Pedophile’s Eyes” and later uploaded to the website Funny or Die. There are also claims that 42-year-old Tiffany and 47-year-old Aries molested the boy while filming. The plaintiffs, who are going by John and Jane Doe, say they’ve been traumatized for life. But Tiffany’s attorney tells TMZ that the suit is a “bogus” extortion attempt by the accusers’ mother. News of the lawsuit comes a few days after Lizzo called out Aries Spears at the VMAs for his mean comments about her appearance. So, apparently, this week is hell-bent on reminding us that the former MADtv cast member still exists.
Ricky Martin’s Ex-Manager Is Suing Him For $3 Million, And Says She Saved Him From An Allegation That Could Have Ended His Career
Ricky Martin is being sued by his former talent manager, Rebecca Drucker, for $3 million in unpaid commissions. Deadline reports that Rebecca filed the complaint yesterday, and her “often taunting” 15-page breach of oral contract suit states that she “saved Ricky Martin’s career” from a “potentially career-ending allegation in September 2020” and other “reckless indiscretions.” There are also references to unpaid taxes, substance abuse, and “a personal life… in disarray” (relatable).
Rebecca says that 50-year-old Ricky is trying to get her to sign an NDA to shut her up about his alleged “abhorrent behavior,” but she “will not be silenced.” It is heavily implied that if Ricky doesn’t settle the suit, Rebecca will blab. If this big secret turns out to be “Ricky Martin is GAY!!!”, someone needs to tell Rebecca and her legal team that she’s about eleven years too late.
