Fame Under Fire
26/02/2026 - BBC Sounds

Don't say that.

Fame Under Fire
26/02/2026 - BBC Sounds

That's what they're called in the South.

Fame Under Fire
26/02/2026 - BBC Sounds

I'm a Southerner.

Fame Under Fire
26/02/2026 - BBC Sounds

No, let's make it just very simple.

Fame Under Fire
26/02/2026 - BBC Sounds

He cannot refile the lawsuit under the same theory that he filed the lawsuit under originally.

Fame Under Fire
26/02/2026 - BBC Sounds

What the court said is you cannot use the filing of a lawsuit and the things that somebody puts there as your basis for defamation at any point in time.

Fame Under Fire
26/02/2026 - BBC Sounds

Because what it would do is it would have a chilling effect.

Fame Under Fire
26/02/2026 - BBC Sounds

It would stop people from filing lawsuits.

Fame Under Fire
26/02/2026 - BBC Sounds

And that's not what we want to do.

Fame Under Fire
26/02/2026 - BBC Sounds

Because if somebody has done something poorly against you, you should have the right to file a lawsuit against them.

26/02/2026 - BBC Sounds

Now, separately, if he comes with a different theory, if he says it wasn't the stuff that's put in the lawsuit, then yes, he could bring it.

Fame Under Fire
26/02/2026 - BBC Sounds

And he's going to have one massive problem if he misses that.

Fame Under Fire
26/02/2026 - BBC Sounds

And we've talked about that before in the statute of limitations.

Fame Under Fire
26/02/2026 - BBC Sounds

You have two years, one year, depending on the time that the alleged conduct happened to file your lawsuit.

Fame Under Fire
26/02/2026 - BBC Sounds

So if he goes back to the time of the first thing she says that was defamatory, the response will be that was three years ago or four years ago, whatever.

Fame Under Fire
26/02/2026 - BBC Sounds

You are past the statute of limitation.

Fame Under Fire
26/02/2026 - BBC Sounds

So you have lost your right to bring any type of lawsuit against me whatsoever.

Fame Under Fire
26/02/2026 - BBC Sounds

It's a good question, though.

Fame Under Fire
26/02/2026 - BBC Sounds

It's a great question.
