Bill Cosby has just landed another legal victory as a defamation lawsuit brought up against him by one of his accusers has been thrown out. In 2014, Renita Hill claimed Cosby drugged and sexually assaulted her back in the ’80s while working on the children’s program “Picture Pages.” She filed a lawsuit in Pennsylvania claiming that Cosby and his attorneys made her look like a “liar” when they released a statement regarding her accusations. The judge in the case ruled that Cosby and his lawyer’s statements were “opinions and generalizations” about all the accusers and therefore not defamatory. This news comes after an L.A. District Attorney threw out 2 other criminal cases against Cosby.
NYU Professor Sues James Franco For Defamation, Franco Says He Sucked Wants Case Thrown Out
Jose Angel Santana filed a request for a judge to file a default judgement in his favor for a defamation case in which he tried to sue James Franco for saying that he sucked. The original lawsuit was filed in 2011 but Franco claims he was never properly served, and wants the default judgement tossed out, he also believes the first suit holds no grounds because what Franco said falls under protected “free speech.” It’s just his opinion, but I wonder what the judge will say about this one.
