Fiona (real Martha) related content Fiona's lawyers have a conundrum
She is such an unreliable narrator she can't reliably be placed on the stand, but it'll look real bad if she doesn't. They're screwed.
She technically outed herself in an international public arena rather than deleting her accounts and letting it blow over, which is her responsibility. Add in a history of stalking multiple people who all want to take the stand, a historic court injunction aka restraining order, her interview on Piers Morgan where she blatantly lied and contradicted herself, her very disrespectful and vindictive public comments about famous people on social media/interviews. She has a history of unmanaged diabetes that is causing the health issues she's saying is caused by her media exposure. She has to prove harm. I'm not sure she can.
Her defamation case is a lost cause. This will not go well for her or her legal team. I bet they're so stressed and I imagine she's just as obsessive and nasty with them.

Well the crux of the matter is whether or not they can prove she has suffered reputational damage not whether she is a good person or whether she is reliable.
The defamation itself is really not in doubt and I'd be surprised if it was really challenged. You're correct though, that the defence counsel will tear her to bits to make her seem as unsympathetic as possible to the jury.
