It's the new term du jour of the year..."being present". At least the term "lean in" is losing popularity, ugh
That would set her up for a defamation / slander lawsuit...............
Even if true?
Slander No, Defamation , yes.
Can you be sued for defamation even if the story is true?
The answer is yes, you can still be sued for defamation even if the story is true. However, the outcome of such a lawsuit depends on various factors, including the laws of the country or state where the lawsuit is filed, the specific circumstances of the case, and the intentions behind the publication of the statement.
Country-Specific Laws
As mentioned in the search results, laws vary across countries. For example, in Italy, you can be sued for defamation even if the statement is true, whereas in the US, truth is an absolute defense against charges of libel or slander.
Substantial Truth Doctrine
In some cases, the substantial truth doctrine may apply, which protects individuals from legal liability for publishing statements with minor or immaterial inaccuracies as long as the gist of the statement is true. This doctrine has been applied in various court cases, including one involving a patient’s negative online review of a dentist.
Actual Malice
In the US, public officials can sue for statements made about their public conduct only if the statements were made with “actual malice.” Actual malice means that the person who made the statement knew it wasn’t true or didn’t care whether it was true or not.
Falsity
Defamation law will only consider statements defamatory if they are, in fact, false. A true statement is not considered defamation in many states. However, if a true statement is made with the intention of causing harm to someone’s reputation, it could still be considered defamatory.
Rarity of Defamation Liability for True Statements
Courts have rarely permitted liability in a defamation action based on a true and defamatory statement. In some cases, courts have acknowledged that statements about someone’s conduct can be both true and defamatory, but such statements typically cannot support defamation liability.
In summary, while the story may be true, you can still be sued for defamation if the statement was made with the intention of causing harm to someone’s reputation or if the laws of the country or state where the lawsuit is filed do not provide a defense for truth.
Remember her from her Alan Quartermain movies from the 1980s. Then her near porn from the 1990s, then she disappeared.
Remembering what happened to Howard Hughes when he died on an aircraft flight surrounded by “assistants”....It is as if the human vultures gather before the death and...wait...
I used to think most people were good. I’m still having trouble not making revisions to that.

Geez, look, they even stole her hair.

I’d better look for the title for my refrigerator.
I haven’t seen it for quite a while.
The rich seem to often have the worst medical care.
How about $18 million in one bank account....that is a tad above the FDIC 250K.
Lol.
Most folks with serious money have it diversified all over the place—with multiple bank accounts being one piece.

She was damaged before she had her stroke.
Bottom line, all humans are born evil.

Ping to Max Americana.
Excellent observation.
Family members? Agent(s)?
I like her in movies, but I remember another actress complaining that Sharon was using her body to get what she wants, literally rubbing up against the director.
