Nigella Lawson congratulates Lisa Wilkinson's on defamation win over Bruce Lehrmann


British celebrity chef Nigella Lawson congratulated Lisa Wilkinson on her landmark defamation win against Bruce Lehrmann.

Lehrmann sued Network Ten and Wilkinson for defamation over a February 2021 report on The Project, where Brittany Higgins claimed he raped her in a Parliament House office almost two years prior. If the 28-year-old had won his defamation case, he would only have been entitled to a 'very modest' amount of $20,000 in damages given the limited nature of any hurt from Ten's reporting, Justice Lee said. The judge also slammed Ten for its conduct after Wilkinson made a Logie speech where she hailed Higgins' courage just eight-days before the criminal trial of Lehrmann.
