I thought $5M seemed unreasonably high until I saw that Donald Trump is involved. This makes the contestant the sympathetic party in this matter, unfortunately.

Really she was sued because of defaming the pageant, but I still like anything that makes bigotry look expensive for these douches.

What’s her problem? Trans or not, they both have fake boobs. That’s an even enough playing field. It’s not like she’s curing cancer.

The contestant will never have my respect, she is an uneducated imbecile .Beauty comes
from within and she would have lost the contest for being so trashy, I’ve seen trans girl much better looking than Sheena Monnin.

Can an organization sue for defamation? I don’t think so. Who has actually been defamed?
