Meghan Markle Re-Files Motion to Dismiss Samantha Markle's Defamation Case Against Her

Meghan Markle has made a motion in the new defamation case that her half-sister, Samantha, has filed against her.

If you didn’t know, Samantha had re-filed her defamation case against the Duchess of Sussex and claimed that she was not being honest when discussing her past or their father, Thomas Markle.

Meghan had previously made a motion to dismiss the case, but it was denied by a judge. Now, she’s re-filed a dismissal.

Filed this week, Meghan is arguing that Samantha‘s claims are “meritless”, via US Weekly.

She alleges in her submission that Samantha “deleted numerous specific factual allegations and exhibits from her original complaint,” claiming that the facts would “completely undermine” Samantha’s case.

“Most obviously, her original complaint attached a 2018 email from Meghan to the then-Communications Secretary of Kensington Palace, Jason Knauf, that Plaintiff alleged was the basis for the allegedly defamatory statements in Finding Freedom,” the documents read. “However, the email on its face disproved Plaintiff’s claim that Meghan was somehow responsible for the authors’ allegedly defamatory statements in Finding Freedom.”

Her motion goes on, “Indeed, in her desperation to save her case, Plaintiff quite literally fabricated one of the statements, as evidenced by the missing interview transcript.”
