Judge Tosses Lawsuit From Nicola Adams’ Mother Over Boxer’s Prime Video Documentary ‘Lioness,’ but Notes ‘It’s Clear the Hurt Is Real on Both Sides’
A judge has summarily dismissed a lawsuit brought by boxer Nicola Adams' mother over her Prime Video documentary 'Lioness.'
The documentary about Adams, who was the first woman ever to win a boxing Olympic gold and the first “Strictly Come Dancing” contestant to participate as part of a same-sex couple, was released on Prime Video in Nov. 2021. On Friday Deputy High Court Judge Susie Alegre handed down her judgment agreeing that both facets of the lawsuit – libel and misuse of private information – were unlikely to succeed at trial and dismissed the case. “In this case, the information shared about abusive messages and family relationship breakdown was very general and I would expect Dee to have a ‘reasonably robust and realistic approach to living in the 21st century’ given the level of media attention that Nicola attracts.”
