The family’s lawsuit also claims that Carole Baskin was also complicit with jokes that were made about Lewis during a recent Good Morning America interview.
The statement in question was a remark made by Baskin, who said she’d “really kill it next week” on DWTS.
In a statement to the trade, Jon Phillips, the Lewis family’s attorney, explained that this defamation lawsuit was filed as Baskin settled a libel and slander claim with Anne McQueen which goes back to 1998.
Phillips also chastised Dancing with the Stars producers for allegedly making jokes as well.
