James Woods is involved in another Twitter lawsuit
If you've taken someone to court for something they tweeted about you, then you should probably be familiar with how defamation law works. Apropos of nothing, James Woods, who previously sued a Twitter user for suggesting that the actor had a substance abuse issue, is now being sued for something he tweeted. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Portia Boulger has lodged a suit in Ohio alleging that Woods incorrectly identified her as a "nazi."
James Woods gets permission to sue his Twitter abuser
This week has already seen plenty of focus on Twitter's sometimes toxic culture, and now another high-profile victim is speaking out. James Woods has reportedly been given the go-ahead to launch a $10 million anti-defamation lawsuit against an anonymous Twitter user that suggested the actor used drugs. The case was expected to be thrown out by Judge Mel Recana at a hearing on February 2nd, but chose not to at the last minute. The Hollywood Reporter is claiming to have seen court documents saying that the statement was sufficiently factual not to be dismissed as Twitter hyperbole.
