NBCUniversal has agreed to settle a $30 million defamation suit filed by a Georgia gynecologist after on-air talents - including Rachel Maddow - falsely labeled him a 'uterus collector.'
Dr. Mahendra Amin sued in September 2021 after NBCU hosts like MSNBC's Maddow reported claims he performed 'mass hysterectomies' on ICE center detainees with impunity - allegations that later turned out to be false.
Documents filed in the US District Court for the Southern District of Georgia Thursday show how MSNBC's parent has since agreed to settle - with talks about a number now underway.
'The parties are diligently working to finalize the language of the settlement agreement,' a notice stated, after a Georgia judge already ruled that Maddow, Chris Hayes and Nicole Wallace all made 'verifiably false' statements about the doctor.
The ruling was made in July, and allowed the long-in-limbo case to go to court.
NBC News correspondents Jacob Soboroff and Julia Ainsley also contributed to the reporting, stating the gynecologist, who had been working in a Georgia immigration facility, performed 'mass hysterectomies' on women even when unnecessary.
'When I met all these women who had had surgeries, I thought this was like an experimental concentration camp,' Maddow said during her September 2020 broadcast on Amin's practice, quoting detainees and Wooten at their word.
'The nurse says she and her fellow nurses, quote, questioned among ourselves like, "Goodness - he’s taking everybody’s stuff out. That’s his specialty, he’s the uterus collector.
'"He’s taking all their uteruses out or he’s taking their tubes out."
'What in the world?' Maddow went on to ask, years before court documents filed by NBCU's lawyers would insist she 'initially questioned reporting on the allegations.'
'I should tell you that these allegations from this whistleblower [Wooten] are not isolated,' she added.

I believe she has already testified that she’s not a journalist. She’s just an entertainer. So ... you know ... she just ... she just “says stuff”.
she should have to pay out of pocket
If she is just a refugee from like Saturday Night Live and nobody supervised her, then they should pay.
30 million? I thought 500 million was the new defamation amount since Trump?
MSNBC on air talent. There’s an oxymoron for you
A Lez-be-friends Gal slurring a Gyno?
I don’t know, but that kinda sounds kinda pervy.
I ran out of popcorn, switched to cotton candy.
Headline doens’t match the text, if they settle there won’t be any courtroom anything.
How much has that carpet cleaner cost her employer?
Apparently not enough.
Correct ,she was found not liable for slander after a judge found she should not be taken seriously lol..
All of these ‘reporters’ never once talked to the doctor. What a bunch of inept !!!!!
I hope part of the settlement is having her apologize on air so we can get copies of it to post at future events.
NBC: somebody contact USAID quickly for a grant to make up the shortfall. Oh, nevermind!
Racist Madcow is a paid liar.
