Extremist Laura Loomer Sues Bill Maher For $150M

Deadline Hollywood reports:

An attorney for right-wing activist Laura Loomer has filed suit against HBO and Bill Maher over a quip that the comedian made on Real Time last month. The lawsuit called the comment “false, malicious and defamatory.” Loomer is seeking more than $150 million in damages.

On his September 13 show, Maher said that he thought that Loomer was maybe “in an arranged relationship to affect the election because she’s very close to Trump. She’s 31, looks like his type.”

Maher added, “We did an editorial here a few years ago … it was basically, who’s Trump f*cking? Because I said, you know, it’s not nobody. He’s been a dog for too long, and it’s not Melania. I think we may have our answer this week. I think it might be Laura Loomer.”
