French Court Dismisses Defamation Suit Against Polanski by British Actress Charlotte Lewis
Dec 4, 2024, 01:53 PM
A French appeals court has ruled in favor of filmmaker Roman Polanski in a defamation lawsuit brought against him by British actress Charlotte Lewis. Lewis had accused Polanski of rape and subsequently filed a defamation suit after he called her a liar. The court's decision was to dismiss the defamation charges against Polanski, who had been accused of defaming Lewis by labeling her accusations as lies. This ruling comes after a civil trial where the decision was expected to be rendered on December 4, 2024.
