Duchess of Success succeeds in getting the ridiculous lawsuit by Samantha Markle dismissed

Common sense decision this.

I hope that the tabloids who were (most probably) sponsoring this non-case of Samantha Markle's will pay the Duchess of Sussex her legal fees.

The judge correctly found that how Meghan felt about her upbringing was a subjective opinion about her childhood and her relationship with her half-sister. The court found that Meghan's statement about "feeling like an only child" is not objectively verifiable or subject to empirical proof, and, as a statement of pure opinion was “not capable of being proved false”.
The court also said the plaintiff Samantha "cannot plausibly disprove" Meghan's "opinion of her own childhood."

On the claims based on Finding Freedom, the court said the Duchess could not be held accountable for a book that she did not write or publish.

Go Meghan. I'm sure Samantha will file something else again soon ... and that she will lose again.

Not what I'm taking from her behaviours though, or Harry's for that matter

You don't know the women ,I find it very strange,that people get so worked up.aboutthe perceived behaviour of strangers 🤷

So we can only comment on people we know personally? This is the constant reply to any criticism of H&M. Should we only be allowed to have opinions on our own friends and neighbours ? Not likely to be of great interest to unknowns on MN, is it?
If H&M are trying to earn money by becoming "public figures" surely they want people to take notice of them? Only good opinions allowed then. Good luck with that...

Commenting is one thing but certain posters ,seem filled with hatred ,about Meghan ,I just don't understand how people can feel.that way about a person they have never met ,She can't win what ever she does ,some posters seem determined to be offended by it ,it's Odd

custardbear · 03/04/2023 13:12

@x2boys not really, I, and others, despise liars, particularly those who cream off everything and anything g they can with their lies, narcissism and bullying as well as their own self promotion and trying to silence people so they don't get caught out - it's clear as day!

The question is why are they like that. What has happened that has created people who are only able to find joy in venting their spleen and displaying their resentments in this way?” He talks about how many people feel alienated from society, the number living in poverty, the paucity of mental health support. “If you treat the symptom, you never get to the heart of the problem. The problem is: why are people so angry and afraid?”

Is this a reverse? Wink

@x2boys
I completely agree with you.

I’m not overly fond of several royals, and I dislike at least one in particular 🤫. But I truly can’t even imagine going from thread to thread purely to spew hateful comment after hateful comment about that person. Or challenging every positive comment about that person with vindictive bile. It is truly pathological.

So, you don't feel you can dislike Putin, of Hitler, or even a P.M you didn't vote for, unless you know them personally?
And, before you jump on another band-wagon, I'm not suggesting that Meghan is "as bad as" these.

But she IS a very self-centered, unlikable woman.

custardbear · 03/04/2023 16:11

@PlanetLuna .... truly pathological... seriously!! 😂😂😂. How wild you are with your diagnosis ... I'd ask what planet you're on ... but clearly, from your name, you're on your own planet ... yup - sums it up! 🙄👀

Then why give them as examples as comparison? - are they the best you can think of. Those who you stated are mass murderers but it serves your purpose to out them in the same sentence. Can you think of anyone else that you would take time to give as much negative energy as you do Meghan. As you said, Meghan is not as bad as these but I'm sure you don't spend your time thinking about how ouch you hate these figures - it would be pointless wouldn't it? Is there anyone else that you despise as much as a Meghan but not as much as Hitler or Putin - and do you give then the any of your time.?

Well.lets,see shall we Putin is a crazy Russian dictator who could potentially end the world at the touch of a button ,Hitler sent many thousands of Jewish people to their death and tried to take over the entire world ,and a Pm ,who.I either did or didn't for could have policies that affect me and my family personally ,
Yes that's exactly the same as Meghan Markle ,who posters seem to.hate for no good reason other than they find her a bit irritating and invent reasons ,to be offended but What ever she does 🤔

The irony ,and yet you have diagnosed Meghan as a Narcissist 🙄

custardbear · 03/04/2023 19:43

@x2boys ... narcissist = attention seeking, overly needing people to admire them, full of their own self importance, thinks they're centre of the universe
Hhmmm ... guess who?!

custardbear · 03/04/2023 19:46

.... pathological = behaving in an extreme and unacceptable way.
Powerful feelings they cannot control
Eeerrr not me and anyone else who calls out MM or PH ... many of us just add our opinions, we don't open threads ... just give opinions ... not our fault if you don't like it the truth!

Yes,anyone can Google the meaning of narcissist well done you ,and the term, is thrown around so casually on here
but you don't know the women ,you have no idea what's she's like in real.life.

custardbear · 03/04/2023 20:00

Yawn, you're boring me with the whole 'you don't know her' shite ... it's plain as day ffs! If you can't see it perhaps you're not that way inclined to see people for what they are by their actions ... but don't tell me I can't make an educated assessment of a person from their actions and words, match them up with their surroundings ... I can, I have and so have many many MANY others!

I'm not telling you not to do anything ,I'm just saying I find it very odd you have so.much hate for Someone you don't know. 🤷

custardbear · 03/04/2023 20:05

... oh and by the way, she IS a narcissist ... along with other things like liar and bully

Pathological .. we are not

I can perhaps be described as someone who won't be bullied or belittled by one of her little fans ... but I'm certainly not creating tonnes of threads ... im just offering my valid opinion, like many others who see through H&M

x2boys · 03/04/2023 20:09

Who are her little fans who are trying to bully you?

custardbear · 03/04/2023 20:11

Well you're spending your time defending her - so guess we're similar there eh

x2boys · 03/04/2023 20:15

Not really i.just can't see what she's done for people to.hate her so.much and have an opinion on everything she does particularly when there are other members of the royal family who have acted far worse
but what ever she does she gets criticised for it .

custardbear · 03/04/2023 20:17

Bullies --- hhmmm could it be those throwing terms like unhinged, pathological, spreading so much hate when offering personal opinions from the surrounding facts ... that don't agree with the Meghan fans

I think you need to read your " personal.,opinions " back nobody is bullying you.

... but got much love for other narcissistic money grabbing arsehats who are trying to lie, cheat and/or cream off the UK tax payers whatever their origin, to make a dirty dollar or try to scramble up an ivory tower

Oh dear! let me put this very simply so that you can understand....

  1. I am not saying Meghan is as evil as Putin or Hitler. Obviously
  2. I AM refuting your point that one can only criticize someone personally known to the critic.

Do you get it now?
