Case 18-2868, Document 278, 08/09/2019, 2628230, Page90 of 648 were and are “obvious lies.” As noted, her claims not to have slept with Prince Andrew and to have slept with Prince Andrew are a classic example of an obvious lie. One or other account is on the face of it a lie. 21. Asan example of her lack of credibility, the Plaintiff made allegations against Professor Dershowitz, which I understand she has now withdrawn. Professor Dershowitz has credibility because his story, insofar as I am familiar with it, has been consistent; Ms. Giuffre has no credibility because her story has shifted and changed. 22. Further the Plaintiff's account has become more salacious, for example, regarding Prince Andrew. The Plaintiff clearly has been seeking publicity for her story and it is clear to me that she understands retelling the same story doesn’t feed the media and generate publicity and so each time she appears to create new allegations to generate media interest. 23. Iunderstand the Plaintiff alleged in her Complaint in this action that the following statements are defamatory. She alleges it was defamatory in the first paragraph of the January 2015 statement to state that “the allegations made by [the Plaintiff] against [Ms.] Maxwell are untrue.” For the reasons stated above, it was and is my considered and firm opinion that, in fact, her allegations are untrue. She alleges it was defamatory to state in the same paragraph that the “original allegations” have been “shown to be untrue.” For the reasons stated above, it was and is my considered and firm opinion that, in fact, her allegations are untrue. Finally, she alleges that it was defamatory in the third paragraph to state that her claims are “obvious lies.” For the reasons stated above, it was and is my considered and firm opinion that, in fact, her claims are obvious lies. 24. Both Mr. Gow and I understood that once the January 2015 statement was sent to the media-representatives, we had no ability to control whether or how they would use the statement and we made no effort to control whether or how they would use the statement.
