If someone had tweeted about you and you took him to the court, then you maybe well familiar with the functionality of defamation law. James Woods was formerly sued a Twitter user for recommending that the actor had a matter of violence issue, but he is being sued for his some type of tweeted item. The Hollywood Reporter also indicated that Portia Boulger has filed a lawsuit in Ohio and alleged that Woods falsely mentioned her as a “Nazi”. This alleged story started with a photograph captured by The Chicago Tribune on 11th March 2016 during a Republican Presidential rally. Birgitt Peterson was wearing a T-shirt with an image of Trump and raised her arm at 45-degree angle. This act was considered unfriendly signal as it was specifically famous in the 1940s in Germany.

But, Peterson was consequently, incorrectly, identified as Portia Boulger (the resident of Ohio and one of the main organizers for the campaign of Bernie Sanders). The statement was virally shared around Twitter prior being noticed by Woods. Point to be noted that the alleged tweet was consequently reposted by Donald Trump Jr. and it was then re-tweeted by more than 5 thousand times. Woods might tweet an imperfect disclaimer by suggesting that the alleged photograph had misidentified. It is important that Woods hasn’t yet deleted his original tweet until the legal counsel of Boulger made a contact with actor demanding for its deletion, denial and apology. Boulger said that she had received death threats on Twitter & in real world with confusing phone calls at her home. She claimed that Woods defamed her by mentioning her action as unfriendly at the rally.
