MSNBC set for high-stakes defamation trial in ‘uterus collector’ lawsuit
Fox News ^ | Jan 22, 2025 | Brian Flood

With CNN’s high-profile defamation loss in the rearview, attention shifts to MSNBC’s looming trial in the $30 million "uterus collector" lawsuit after Rachel Maddow, Nicolle Wallace, and Chris Hayes’ programs made "verifiably false" statements that a Georgia doctor performed unnecessary hysterectomies at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) center.

A jury trial is scheduled to kick off on April 22, in Waycross, Georgia.

Plaintiff Dr. Mahendra Amin, an obstetrician gynecologist who provided medical care to women detained at the Irwin County Detention Center, was accused in 2020 of performing unnecessary hysterectomies by a nurse at the facility who made a whistleblower complaint.

NBC published an article despite initial skepticism from the network’s standards department and MSNBC quickly followed with a series of on-air reports in which the doctor was often referred to as the "uterus collector" on September 15, 2020.

However, the whistleblower’s claims were never proven to be true.

Haven’t we seen a similar case with Maddow before? IIRC, she said she wasn’t a journalist, she is just an entertainer, and she is allowed to say anything she wants. I think the court bought it last time.

This is a big one and pretty much an open and shut case for defamation on the merits. I’m guessing MSNBC settles and gives out a large check here.

A name change would clarify things: “Rachel-Cedric the Entertainer”

I don’t know, this may be a case of stopped clock being occasionally right. There are a LOT of doctors out there eager to perform hysterectomies on women once they turn 40. It’s a money-maker. Every female friend I have has had one. I’m the only one who hasn’t. I mean... it’s everywhere.

Speaking of that flaming hypocrite Rachel Maddow, a blast from the past, 2008...

WAY TO SKIRT THE ISSUE

So much for principle.

They should just skip the trial and write the check.

Re Dr’s performing hysterectomies on everyone, I had to beg to end my misery, in lefty MA no less. I’m sure they would give one yo a 13 yo girl without hesitation. Meanwhile, I hope these “ladies” lose bigly.
