because her then communications secretary had corresponded with the authors. The plaintiff claimed the book contained false statements that lead to “humiliation, shame and hatred on a worldwide scale.” This week, Honeywell ruled that Meghan was still not the publisher of the statements, regardless of any communication with the authors.
Also at issue was Meghan’s statement to Oprah that she wasn’t close to Samantha as a child and she “grew up as an only child.” In the order, Honeywell dismissed the assertion by Samantha’s lawyers that Meghan’s comments represented a false statement of fact. “Here, a reasonable listener would not think that Defendant was suggesting that she has no half-siblings, that Plaintiff does not actually exist, or that Plaintiff is not related to her,” the order reads.
