The media has been on a non-stop attack against MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell since he expressed doubts about the results of the 2020 presidential election and Mike took action against one outlet.
But Lindell was defeated in his court case against the British tabloid The Daily Mail who he accused of defaming him, Newsweek reported.
A federal judge sided with the news outlet, saying that the article that Lindell cited as defaming “cannot be reasonably construed as defamatory.”
Lindell, a staunch supporter of former President Donald Trump, first sued the Daily Mail tabloid in January after it published an article alleging that he and 30 Rock actress Jane Krakowski had a secret romance. The report was based on a tip from an “anonymous friend” and Lindell and Krakowski quickly denied the claim. Lindell even said he’d never heard of the actress.
While the report may have been inaccurate, U.S. District Court Judge Paul Crotty, who was appointed by former President George W. Bush, ruled on Friday that nothing in the article rose to the level of defamatory.
“Dating an actress—secret or not—would not cause ‘public hatred,’ ‘shame,’ ‘ridicule,’ or any similar feeling towards Lindell,” The judge said. He argued that the lawsuit “has not identified any statements in the Article that a reasonable person would view as defamatory.”

Now on the other hand if the DM had linked him with Stacy Abrams, the ruling would certainly have gone in his favor.
“Dating an actress—secret or not—would not cause ‘public hatred,’ ‘shame,’ ‘ridicule,’ or any similar feeling towards Lindell”
O’RLY?!
Has the judge not seen the #MeToo environment running around here in the US?

Is this kind of like the case where a sexually predatory but hot female teacher can molest a minor boy student and get a thumbs up?
Meanwhile, Meghan Markle gets to lie to the court with impunity.
The judge is wrong.
Dating some feckless, moronic left-wing actress would INDEED bring public shame and ridicule.
“I think the real reason Lindell lost the case is that Krakowski is fairly attractive.”
I think the REAL REASON is that Lindell is defending Trump on The Steal.
While the report may have been inaccurate.

Judge Roy Bean winks
Well, of course. My comment was not meant seriously; I was making a joke.
DailyMail is a great source for photos. But its reporting is oh, so trashy. Awful inaccuracies, speculation and plain gossip, terrible grammar and even poor spelling—in an English newspaper! The fact that DM allows comments to most of its articles is curiouslyn informative and often amusing; but just as often the comments are distorted by organized propaganda attacks, not only by political operatives from English-speaking nations or Europe, but also stealth attacks originating in Russia or China.
