Laura Loomer is raging over her legal loss to Bill Maher.
The far-right political activist, 32, has been embroiled in a lawsuit involving the late night host, 70, ever since he used his show, Real Time with Bill Maher, to take a dig at her close relationship to Donald Trump.
Years before, he gave scathing rebuke on the U.S. president, Maher said, “She’s 31. Looks like his type. “We did an editorial here a few years ago…it was basically ‘Who’s Trump F—ing’ because I said, ‘It’s not nobody. He’s been a dog for too long and it’s not Melania. I think we may have had our answer this week. I think it might be Laura Loomer.’”
Days after the September 2024 episode, Loomer sued him, and HBO, for defamation. However, on Thursday, April 23, a judge finally ruled in favor of the host, explaining he failed to find “actual malice” in Maher’s statements.
Judge James S. Moody Jr. said Loomer “believed she had a close relationship with” and traveled “on his private jet five to six times” in the week leading up to Maher’s comments. He rationalized this led to “extensive chattering about the nature of their relationship,” hinting Maher was just one with the same speculation.
Loomer described Maher’s comments as “no joke.”
She mentioned, “Even if it was, it was legally actionable and has led to continued defamation, threats and misogynistic and unwanted sexual comments to be made towards me. It is also very disrespectful and defamatory of President Trump and [Melania Trump], both of whom I respect greatly.
“It is beyond the pale for any judge to say that a woman can be accused of having sex with a man and have it be brushed off as ‘a joke’ just because she proclaimed a platonic love for their politics and leadership style. The ruling is totally dishonest and misogynistic.”
Loomer went on to criticize Maher, who she says is “rabidly anti-Trump.”
She believes his comments were made to “further the election of Kamala Harris and smear my reputation when I have always been highly professional in my support of President Trump.”
