Markle family saga just got even spicier! Her half-sister, Samantha Markle, is back in the legal ring with new allegations about the Duchess. She faced “realistic death threats” after the Sussexes’ Netflix docuseries aired. In the past, Samantha has claimed Meghan portrayed her as a “fame-chasing imposter” with a misleading agenda. But it seems Samantha isn’t letting this end with Meghan winning. Dive in to get the whole scoop!
More Family Tension?
In the original case, Meghan Markle’s team dismissed the defamation suit by citing the First Amendment. However, this time, Samantha’s attorney, Peter Ticktin, announced that Meghan launched a “verbal attack” on her sister in the series. Moreover, he claimed that the Suits actress had painted her as a stranger looking for the spotlight.
According to Ticktin, the scenes featuring Christopher Bouzy fueled this portrayal. In the scene, Bouzy comments about “middle-aged Caucasian women” spreading disinformation about Meghan. Consequently, Samantha alleged she was unfairly cast as a “hater,” sparking backlash from Meghan’s supporters online. Furthermore, Peter didn’t hold back on the details.
He argued that Samantha never participated in any anti-Meghan campaigns. Meghan’s half-sister instead claims she was unfairly depicted. She even fears for her safety as Meghan’s fans went after her. Currently, the appeal case is in the hands of the 11th Circuit Court. It’s a big chance for Samantha to finally clear her name and put her side of the story in the spotlight.

With Samantha taking her appeal to the next level, this family feud is about to get a whole lot more intense! We can’t help but wait for this case’s latest developments!
