I had only heard about one of her wins. But I do not pay much attention to her. I really have no interest in her comings and goings at all.

While the press often criticizes those in the public eye, First Lady Melania Trump is not sitting idly by while headlines speculate about her life. In a report, The Washington Post explained how Trump has taken unprecedented action against the media in her role as the first lady.
But theres one thing that no first lady until Melania Trump has done in response to wildly negative and untruthful stories: Sued a publication, the report said.
Stephanie Grisham, Trumps spokeswoman said that Trump does not want lies swirling around about her life.
Her reasoning is pretty simple she wont stand for people printing lies about her, Grisham told The Post. Its irresponsible and reckless, and media outlets should be held accountable when they choose profit over the truth.
So far, the first lady has won settlements against three publications A British outlet The Telegraph issued a statement of apology to Trump. In 2016, she won a settlement with the Daily Mail. She also won a settlement against a Maryland blogger.
Trumps attorney, Charles Harder said she, will continue to enforce her rights against reckless writers, reporters, editors and publishers who make false statements about her.

(2,533 posts)Would I get sued (and DU also) if I called her what she is.
I have nothing against the worlds oldest proffesion. But these Ruskie assets have a way of using our legal system against us.
However-IIRC-Public persona's have no such rights against conversive name calling or even misleading statements. So she can go sit on a mushroom & spin.

(17,984 posts)Can we seize it all when she's indicted and sent away to prison? If so, is it right to reimburse the UK tabloids? I think so. All they did was call her an escort, which she is.
