Meghan Markle's estranged half-sister, Samantha Markle, isn't backing down when it comes to the $75,000 defamation lawsuit she hurled at the Duchess of Sussex last year.
More details on the case were provided during a virtual court hearing on Wednesday, February 15, where Samantha claimed she's been subject to "humiliation, shame and hatred" because her sibling fabricated statements about their lack of a relationship and her own lonely "rags-to-riches" upbringing.
Samantha issued the lawsuit last year over the statements Meghan made in her interview with Oprah Winfrey and some of the stories in the biography Finding Freedom, as Samantha's lawyer, Peter Ticktin, insisted the mother-of-two used the book to "affirm this false narrative that she supposedly lived this rags-to-riches thing."
"She got caught. Why else is she putting her sister down? Why else is she putting her father down?" Ticktin questioned. "Why else is she denying her family who has done nothing but good to her all her life? She never had a problem with them at all. "
"She's denying them to cover up that she made up this narrative that she went from rags-to-riches which is nonsense, probably not even realizing the harm she would do to her sister," he continued. "Probably never realizing this would put an innocent person into the fray where all of a sudden she has hundreds of threats on her life coming at her, a stalker she had to deal with."
