Fame Under Fire
26/02/2026 - BBC Sounds

She's on multiple different platforms where you can monetize content.

26/02/2026 - BBC Sounds

And she was also selling merchandise.

Fame Under Fire
26/02/2026 - BBC Sounds

She was selling t-shirts that said Times Man of the Year with Brigitte's face on the front.

So there's an extra layer there.

Fame Under Fire
26/02/2026 - BBC Sounds

I think I'm correct in saying this, Sean.

Fame Under Fire
26/02/2026 - BBC Sounds

They don't have to prove motive for what Candice was doing to prove actual malice.

Fame Under Fire
26/02/2026 - BBC Sounds

but they have included that extra layer.

Fame Under Fire
26/02/2026 - BBC Sounds

So when they're telling, well, this is what they told me in the interview, when they're explaining to the jury what was going on, they will not only say what Candace has done, but why she's done it.

Fame Under Fire
26/02/2026 - BBC Sounds

You're spot on.

Fame Under Fire
26/02/2026 - BBC Sounds

Okay, so our next question is from Emily in the UK.

Fame Under Fire
26/02/2026 - BBC Sounds

She didn't want to send a voice note, so I'll read it out.

Fame Under Fire
26/02/2026 - BBC Sounds

She says, you talk about the defence of being a bad journalist as a defence against defamation.

Fame Under Fire
26/02/2026 - BBC Sounds

Is there a legal definition of a journalist or can anybody use this?

Fame Under Fire
26/02/2026 - BBC Sounds

I think this is a fantastic question.

Fame Under Fire
26/02/2026 - BBC Sounds

Sean, can you just unpack...

Fame Under Fire
26/02/2026 - BBC Sounds

What she means when we say we've talked about the defense of being like a shoddy journalist before.

Fame Under Fire
26/02/2026 - BBC Sounds

But so if she says, I genuinely believe this from the digging, from the interviews I've conducted, from the research I've read, this was a genuine belief.

Fame Under Fire
26/02/2026 - BBC Sounds

And as a journalist, I am protected.

Fame Under Fire
26/02/2026 - BBC Sounds

I think, you know, from Emily's question, it's who gets that protection as a journalist?

Fame Under Fire
26/02/2026 - BBC Sounds

Because who's a journalist?
