Alec Baldwin sued for defamation by family of fallen U.S. Marine after allegedly calling them...

Looks like a money grab to me. Baldwin may have called her an "insurrectionist" in a personal exchange ("Baldwin privately messaged her on the social media platform") and hurt her feelings, but that doesn't amount to defamation. Now if he was calling her out by name in public posts, that may be a different matter, but it still may boil down to his opinion and his right to free speech - incorrect characterization or not. I believe she would have to demonstrate how Baldwin's public posts (if there are any) caused her harm, financially or otherwise. I was not able to see the lawsuit itself - redirected to "Pacer", and I don't know what that is.
