e claim has"substantial merit."
At the heart of the dispute are comments made during an episode of the podcast that referenced a 1996 article about the WE Organization, then called Free the Children, according to the ruling. A defamation suit was filed with Craig Kielburger, not his mother, as the plaintiff. It ended in a settlement of close to $320,000 before going to trial.
The judge specifically pointed to Brown's sworn affidavit, in which the podcast host said: “e did not seek comment for the same reason why I didn't seek comment from my own mother; neither of them were involved." Kielburger's testimony about the emotional impact of the allegation, meanwhile, was"credible and impactful," the judge said.
