Thanks for hunting this down and sharing.

8. You are welcome

There is also a case pending against The Gateway Pundit in Missouri.

That one is in state court. The defendants tried to move it to federal court, but the federal court kicked it back to state court on motion of the plaintiffs.

3. Doesn't matter

Rudy is broke. Poor women need to sue bigger pockets.

[Staph]

4. It looks like they are suing OANN and its owners.

Maybe their pockets are deeper than Rudy's!

10. They already settled with OANN.

They have another case pending in Missouri against The Gateway Pundit.

12. Yep, that's on the docket

May 11, 2022

MINUTE ORDER (paperless), GRANTING plaintiffs' 21 Motion for Voluntary Dismissal and Entry of Judgment with Respect as to the OAN Defendants; DISMISSING, with prejudice, defendants HERRING NETWORKS INC., CHARLES HERRING, ROBERT HERRING, and CHANEL RION from the instant action; and DIRECTING entry of final judgment as to defendants HERRING NETWORKS, INC., CHARLES HERRING, ROBERT HERRING, and CHANEL RION.

Amended the OP to point out that entry.

5. Glad to see it! Noting that One America isn't broke.

As for Giuliani, his bankruptcy court would allocate settlement funds among the various plaintiffs. Hope their judgments are in the pile when that time comes.

6. They have another one in Missouri against The Gateway Pundit

11. They already settled with OANN.

13. But, they are so damaged. It's horrific

[Effete Snob]

14. "The terms of the settlement agreement were not disclosed, but both sides described it as fair."

The entire point of a civil lawsuit is to determine whether a bundle of money is going to move from one side of the courtroom to the other side, or not.

If that result can be reached in less time and effort, that is a good thing.

Once in a while, the outcome of a civil lawsuit can compel someone to do something, or compel them to stop doing something. Other outcomes can be things like declaring who owns something and who does not.

But, in most instances, the point is to obtain a sum of money without going broke in the process.

Quite obviously, their decision to accept settlement from OAN and its owners was informed by their counsel, who have experience and likely a percentage interest in the outcome.

Nothing can ever really compensate for physical and psychological injuries, but I believe Ms. Freeman and Ms. Moss are in good hands.
