Meghan Markle's sister Samantha Markle has refiled the defamation lawsuit she brought against the actress after it was dismissed.
Samantha's legal team filed an amended complaint April 13, doubling down on the claim she was defamed by Meghan's 2021 Oprah interview, according to court documents obtained by Fox News Digital. "Meghan made these false claims, which are now believed to be true by the public, making it appear that Samantha is a fame-seeking stranger to Meghan," Samantha's lawyer Jamie Alan Sasson told Fox News Digital.
A judge originally dismissed the lawsuit, saying the comments made during the interview by Meghan were her opinion about the actress's own childhood. "As a reasonable listener would understand it, Defendant merely expresses an opinion about her childhood and her relationship with her half-siblings," the judge wrote at the time. "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." However, Samantha's legal team insists Meghan's comments during the interview falsely portrayed the actress as an only child who had no relationship with her half-siblings.
