5th Circuit Denies Brett Favre's Defamation Appeal Against Shannon Sharpe
Sep 16, 2024, 07:33 PM
Brett Favre's attempt to revive his defamation lawsuit against Shannon Sharpe has been denied by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. The 5th Circuit upheld the dismissal of the case, ruling that Sharpe's statements, made on the television show 'Undisputed,' were protected opinions based on truthful established facts. Sharpe had made comments about Favre's alleged involvement in a Mississippi welfare fraud scheme, which the court deemed nonactionable. The decision affirms that Sharpe's speech, although possibly harsh, was within legal bounds.
