A participant in a reality television series sued our client, a weekly magazine, for defamation based on its article discussing plaintiff?s appearance on the reality show and allegations made by the mother of plaintiff?s deceased former fianc?. On behalf of the magazine, we filed an answer and anti-SLAPP motion asserting that plaintiff was a public figure, that the article did not say what plaintiff claimed and was not ?of and concerning? her, that plaintiff could not establish substantial falsity of the statement at issue, and that the statement was privileged. After a hearing on our anti-SLAPP motion, the court granted the motion and dismissed the case against the magazine.
