The filing claimed that Samantha Markle "ignored the context" of Winfrey’s question, which was about Meghan’s "relationship" with her half-sister, who is 17 years older than her and was raised in another home.
It said her sister’s contention that she can disprove that Meghan grew up as an only child is "inherently unfalsifiable. It is hard to imagine a more personal and subjective feeling than how one views their own childhood."
Samantha Markle sued Meghan in March for $75,000, claiming her statement that she "grew up as an only child" was defamatory because Meghan made her half-sister look like an "opportunist of the worst kind" who wanted to cash in on having a famous relative.
Meghan's attorney told TMZ when the lawsuit was first filed: "This baseless and absurd lawsuit is just a continuation of a pattern of disturbing behavior. We will give it the minimum attention necessary, which is all it deserves."
