Oct 22, 2024, 03:05 PM

Laura Loomer has filed a defamation lawsuit against Bill Maher and HBO, seeking $150 million in damages. The lawsuit stems from comments made by Maher on the September 13th episode of his show 'Real Time with Bill Maher,' where he falsely accused Loomer of having an affair with former President Donald Trump. Loomer, a strong advocate for Trump, claims the allegations are baseless and defamatory. She is demanding a jury trial to address the matter. HBO, which is owned by Warner Bros., is also implicated in the suit. Loomer described the alleged affair as an 'arranged relationship.'
