Orange Man and “Defamation” – EPautos – Libertarian Car Talk

Orange Man has been ordered to pay out more than $80 million to a woman who claims he “defamed” her – apparently by calling her a “whack job.” He did so in response to claims made by this woman that Orange Man sexually assaulted her back in the ’90s.
