Check this shit out. I just heard that Richard Simmons, androgynous fitness guru (I use all those terms loosely), sued a tabloid for slander or defamation or whatever the technical term is for spreading unfounded lies about a person for profit.
The paper claimed that Simmons was transgender and transitioning to female-ness.
Simmons denies it. The court agreed with Simmons. The court found that there was no merit to claims of transgenerism or transitioning and that the paper was completely erroneous.
However, the court ruled against Simmons anyway. The court said that there was nothing disparaging, slanderous, or defamatory about being labeled transgender. So Simmons lost the case AND has to pay the tabloids legal fees of $130K as punishment for suing them for a silly reason
What the fucking fuckety fuck?
