Meghan Markle Sued By Samantha Markle For Defamation, And Fans Are In 'Uproar'
Samantha Markle sparked an “uproar” among fans of Meghan Markle. This comes after she filed a lawsuit against her half-sister for allegedly lying in her controversial interview with Oprah Winfrey in March 2021.
Express UK reported that the move caused many followers of the Duchess of Sussex to share their thoughts and sentiments about the matter. Some are disappointed and urged the former actress’s sibling to let the royal couple live their lives in peace.
Others are seemingly hopeful that the former working royal will file a countersuit. There are, also, a few individuals who wish that the attacks on the “lovely” Sussexes to end.
Not everyone, however, is on the side of Meghan Markle. There are netizens, as well, who made their support toward Samantha Markle known on the same media platforms.
As reported, some individuals pointed out that it is only fitting for the “Suits” alum’s half-sister to file a lawsuit, considering she, also, does it when the claims against her are not true. Others are more vocal about their support, saying it is the “plot twist that 2022 needed.”
There are, also, critics (of the Duchess of Sussex) who have sided with her sibling. They shared their hopes of Samantha Markle winning her suit, adding that she should make it “as public and humiliating as possible.”
While the public appears to have vocalized their thoughts and opinions, Meghan Markle remains silent about the issue. But, her attorney had a few words to say, seemingly “clapping back” at Samantha Markle, according to TMZ.
Attorney Michael Kump told the publication that the lawsuit is “baseless and absurd.” He, also, described it as a “continuation of a pattern of disturbing behavior.”
In the end, Kump asserted that they will “give it the minimum attention necessary,” adding that it is “all it deserves.”
Reports said that “Finding Freedom” author Omid Scobie, whose name was frequently cited in the lawsuit, quoted the attorney’s response on social media. He added that it is a “burn from Meghan’s attorney” in his post.
Samantha Markle alleges that Meghan Markle made “false and malicious statements” during her and Prince Harry’s sit-down interview with Oprah Winfrey. She accuses her half-sister of “falsely claiming to be an ‘only child,’ adding that the former working royal lied about the details of their previous meetings and engagements, according to Page Six.
The Duchess of Sussex’s sibling, also, alleges that the former actress has bashed their father, Thomas Markle Sr. in an attempt to sell the world a false “rags-to-royalty” story of her life. Furthermore, she claims that the Duke of Sussex’s wife “published and disseminated false and malicious statements” about her in “Finding Freedom,” which she referred to as a “book of lies.”
