Howie wants $60 million from Rita Cosby and her publisher. Rita’s lawyer Elizabeth McNamara reportedly told the court that Howie’s reputation is so bad, he is beyond slander. I don’t see how Howie can win since he is a public figure and Rita reported what others said.
“If you repeat a claim made by someone else, you are still liable for slander for repating it.” Rita Cosby’s publisher will offer a settlement to Stern.They only published Cosby’s book because of alleged sex tape.Jackie Hatten vanished, Jack Harding admitted in his declaration that he lied on TV.Nannies said Cosby tried to bribe them.Liz Thompson, lawyer for the nannies said: “Nadine Alexie and Quethelie Alexis said Cosby never contacted them to get their permission to be used as source for her book.”The lawyer claimed the women had also been offered $15,000 by Cosby.Mark Speer lied about Birkhead’s alleged deal with Stern and off shore accounts. John O’Quinn said he used a “methaphor” when he said on TV that Stern murdered Anna and Daniel for the money.John “Texas legend” O’Quinn should have known better. That “methaphor” was very expensive for him and gave him a big headache. Rita Cosby can find a job on some sleazy tabloid TV.Her career is dead.
