Laura Loomer, a right-wing activist and strong Trump supporter, has filed a $150 million defamation lawsuit against comedian Bill Maher and HBO. The lawsuit centers around comments Maher made on his show, Real Time, on September 13, 2024, where he implied that Loomer was in a sexual or “arranged” relationship with Donald Trump. Loomer has strongly denied these claims, stating in her suit that Maher’s remarks were false and defamatory, aimed at damaging her reputation and credibility.
Loomer argues that Maher’s statements were malicious and baseless, intended to harm both her and Trump, and that HBO is also liable for broadcasting these comments. She is seeking damages for what she describes as the severe harm to her reputation caused by the widespread dissemination of the accusations.
Maher has not publicly responded to the lawsuit, but the legal battle is ongoing, with no resolution yet.
