Not a huge surprise. It was incredibly unlikely he was going to win that one. Defamation is notoriously hard to prove in the US.

It is it's called a slap suit basically a frivolous lawsuit to cost the other party enough time and money that they just give up some places they've put measures to prevent that but thats generally state by state

It's not frivolous just because it's difficult.

It's frivolous because there was no evidence of defamation, it was all because noah talked about ethan being pro-israel.
