Rihanna sued over alleged
defamation in High Court

Quote:

Pop singer Rihanna is being sued at the High Court over allegedly making defamatory comments about her former head of security. Dublin-based Geoffrey Keating claims he was defamed in a series of false statements contained in an email sent by the 26-year-old singer last July to Mr Keating and his wife.

Mr Keating denies as untrue allegations made against him in the email of July 11th, 2013 and alleges the statements in that communication have gravely injured his reputation and his business.

While no details of the alleged defamatory remarks were outlined, counsel said the email contained allegations that were “nauseatingly offensive”.

Counsel said it was Mr Keating’s case he was defamed in the email and that the same allegedly defamatory allegations were made in a phone call by Rihanna, also made in July 2013, to Mr Keating’s sister.

Mr Keating’s lawyers needed permission from the High Court to serve the proceedings on Rihanna at her home address in New York.

This so called bodyguard is a creep and he knows it. So anything she did say about him was probably justified

I don't understand how your reputation and business are gravely injured when she allegedly made those accusations via private email.

I don't know..
I'm just pointing out that the only damage he has rn is caused by the fact he took this story to the media. But I definitely know defamation through email is punishable. She has had a special relationship with Keating (employer-employee) and because of that relationship the judge will most likely agree with Keating since many European legal systems provide extra protection for weaker parties like employees. IF the judge finds her emails to contain defamation that is... It's up to him/her what's more important in this case: freedom of speech or protection of one's honor and good name.
