Meghan being sued for defamation by sister Samantha

[FrostyNethers]

Are you:

Go Sam!

OR

No Sam!

What's the Defamation ?
This is the same women whose own children don't have anything to.do with her and quite frankly has made a complete Tit,of herself for the last few years ,I'm not surprised Meghan wants nothing to.do with her .

The irony is hilarious... H&M feel they need to tell the world their "truth" but go ballistic when anyone else wants to tell theirs... Such double standards. Typical narc behavior.

Beautifully put - though doubtless the media will make a few bob out of it with all the clicks

@Plitvice I completely agree with this, Meghan's behaviour & ott personality rubbed the upper classes up the wrong way. She was never going to be one of them.

Didn't MM,say she felt !ike an only child?
Her Dads older children were significantly older than her and had left home by the time Meghan was born its easy tk.see Why she may not have had a sibling relationship with them
My boys have a ( half) sister who is six years older then my oldest ,she has never lived with them ,and it's not always been harmonious for various reasons I don't think she would say she has the same sibling bond with my sons as she does with her ( maternal half) brother who she was brought up with .

I'm wondering which UK tabloids are financially backing Samantha, and why has it taken so long for her to bring the case? As said below, the papers only want more clicks especially as they tripped themselves up and have been exposed during the release of Spare eg they run with distorted carefully selected snippets of a paragraph and when you read the chapter it is very different.
In essence they are manipulating Samantha who believes she has something to win. Who knows maybe Samantha will come out to say she will give any profit to Charity.

Im.sure they do.,but not all families are like your ,s

Really - is this how your justice system works? but M&H are not even bringing the case so if it's dismissed maybe it's because its a waste of everyone's time except the lawyers and tabloids of course.

And how would Sammantha know that given she has never met the late Queen of king Charles and only has a very tenuous !ink to.the Royal family ??
I'm sure Prince Harry who.is the late Queen Grandson and king Charles son has a far better idea of Wether they were /are racist or not?

I think this was more in answer to a post that seemed to say that Samantha and Meghan were unlikely to think of themselves as siblings just because of the age difference. I have a 15 year gap between my eldest and youngest and they most definitely think of each other as siblings) even though they are half siblings) but I agree that personalities also come in to it.

But the Markles ARE trashy though. Clearly jealous of Meghan, while at the same time using their 'connection' to her/the royals as a way of grasping for money.

Why does Harry get slagged off for criticising his family, yet the Markles aren't, for trashing their sister? Literally as soon as M&H started dating, up popped Scam, slagging her off, before they were even married! So ironic.

She was not brought up in the same house or saw,them regularly ,and her feelings are her feelings ,my sons (half)sister most definitely has a much stronger sibling bond with her (maternal half)brother ,then my sons,because she was brought up with him ,lived with him etc,you can't change that .

Let's not forget that Sam called Meghan's mother - her stepmother - "the help". Wonder what other sh!t meghan had to hear from them growing up. I don't blame her for not wanting to know Samantha to be honest.

Well, he has since come out and said (two years after the OW interview) that he and M had never said that the RF are racist, and that any implication that the RF were racist was created by the tabloids.

Not sure why you have quoted my post when I was just pointing out that the age difference alone didn’t mean that they shouldn’t see each other as siblings, but agreeing that other factors come in to it. My eldest sons also have a half sibling on their father’s side who they were not brought up with but still equally see as a sibling. So yes, circumstances are different

I think the whole Markle family are odd.

The only reason I would support Sam is that she seems to be the only person to take on and challenge some of the lies or slurs told about her side of the family.

I think it was very damaging for Meghan to say she was told her family were not to be invited to the wedding when this was clearly not the case. The lack of invites came from Meghan herself as her family were not the image she wanted to convey. This has undoubtedly caused the mother/daughter (Sam and daughter) relationship to worsen. It would be simple enough for palace officials to say in court what they've been saying all along, that it was Meghan's own choice to invite celebrities not family.

Omg yes. Please let it be televised

Samantha ,s daughter was very clear she didn't have a relationship with her mum.and was quite upset that her relationship with Meghan had broken down due to.the wider family ,s action s

And MEagain isn't ?😂😂😂

@x2boys But sams daughter was told she couldn't attend because the palace told Meghan not to invite her. This is utterly ridiculous as anyone with an ounce of sense can see. Sam has the right to tell her 'truth' too and say this has worsened her relationship with her daughter because it's clear Ashley blames her mother and not the person who didn't invite her.

Precisely. The whole lot of them behaved like trash. This is the exact kind of family you don’t want. Whether you support M&H or not no one can condone her sisters cynical grasping and jealous bitter behaviour.

Ugh seriously? I don’t usually follow all of this saga so I didn’t hear about it but it doesn’t surprise me.

Well.she can,but as she didn't bring her daughter up.or have very much to.do.with her for most of her life I think the Onus is on Samantha ,really for having a crap.relationship with her daughter she can't really blame Meghan for that.

I cannot bear any of them, but I am team yes to slinging scuds back at H&M as their behaviours, gossiping, lies, manipulations, narcissism needs as much back lash as possible.
They're a despicable family (Markle) and MM has spouted her shite far and wide, been an utter cow to many, Harry has followed like the puppy dog glove puppet he is for her, so I don't care what gets slung at them, they've slung so much at everyone else - they've made their bed so get in and deal with it

The whole thing is very odd. If the only reason she is suing Meghan is that Meghan said she was brought up as an only child then I think Samantha is on to a loser. She also doesn't seem to be suing for very much money (by American litigation standards) so if she was to refuse any settlement and take the case to court and lose she could end up with substantial costs awarded against her. I don't imagine Harry and Meghan's lawyers come cheap.

I don't know any details and there may be other allegations but the fact that the judge has said that there is a possibility some allegations could be dismissed suggests that there are others that may not be.

So it could be that:

1.Samantha is just trying to get money out of Meghan and knows that the amount she is asking for is small change to Meghan so she would be more likely to settle than let the case go trial.

2.Samantha is batshit crazy and thinks she can win and shame Meghan into the bargain.

3.Samantha is being put up to it and funded by a third party.

4.A mixture of all of the above.

There is, as other posters have said, a certain irony in the situation and I am definitely in the popcorn camp. I notice that Harry, Thomas Markle and Jason Knauf have also been mentioned as possible witnesses.

My gut feeling is that it will be dismissed before depositions but, if not, then I would love to be a fly on the wall in Montecito.
