Federal judge dismisses MyPillow CEO's defamation lawsuit over a report claiming he once dated Jane Krakowski

The Hollywood Reporter

Judge Paul Crotty wrote in his ruling that he had trouble finding what was defamatory in The Daily Mail's claim that the MyPillow CEO once dated the 30 Rock alum. “Even assuming the romance never happened, the above description would not defame Lindell,” writes Crotty. “Dating an actress — secret or not — would not cause ‘public hatred,’ ‘shame,’ ‘ridicule,’ or any similar feeling towards Lindell. Both Lindell and Krakowski are unmarried adults, and Lindell’s alleged actions typify those of a person in a consenting relationship.”
