I still don't know what story she was denying. What were the images that she was saying were fake?

[–] tourist@lemmy.world 13 points 2 days ago

Muddy waters here

From what I've gathered

  1. There may be photos being released soon, and her legal team is trying to preempt it by denying it.

idk how law works, but I don't know what preempting it is meant to do


  1. there is supposedly a (plausibly deepfaked) image floating around the boomer side of the internet:

I haven't seen it nor tried to find it. Last time I checked Facebook, I learned several horrific slurs for ethnic groups I did not even know existed


  1. Maybe, she finally caught wind of her name being mentioned alongside Epstein

I've met people who just check the news and/or the internet once per year, if ever


  1. Some other Trump administration political strategy

I'm legit not intelligent enough to understand nor recall the explanation there


Probably a legal thing. Photos/Documents may be releasing soon

If not, yeah...

Just more bizarre

Like if I announced:

"I did not rinse my unwashed genitals in the spahetti after I cooked it"

In the middle of a family dinner.

No one knows what story she's denying, or what images she's claiming are fake. The most likely possibility is that someone is preparing to release a story on the links between her and Epstein. It's standard practice in journalism to contact the subject of a piece, inform them of the contents of that piece, and offer them an opportunity to comment. A request for comment on an upcoming story seems a likely trigger for this reaction. The entire speech strikes me as a thinly veiled threat, essentially saying "If you publish your story I will sue you for defamation."

[–] DokPsy@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Can't sue for defamation if the commentary is either true or had reasonable belief to be so

[–] forrgott@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 days ago

That's... not how it works. They absolutely can sue, but they're not supposed to be able to win (or the case ought to be thrown, not completely sure). With all the current bullshit I'm not sure what would happen, though.
