The court dismissed claims against Taylor Swift –                  does this mean the judge believed her and not the DJ?

A former DJ sued Taylor Swift after he was fired by his station. His firing came shortly after Taylor Swift alleged he had groped her during a meet-and-greet. The DJ strongly denied Swift’s accusations and sued her claiming that he had lost his job as a result of her false allegations.

The trial started last week and the DJ rested his case on Friday. Taylor Swift asked the court to dismiss his claims after he rested, and the court agreed. This doesn’t mean that the court believed Taylor Swift. What t means is that regardless of the facts, Taylor Swift is not responsible for his losing his job – after all, she wasn’t the one who fired him. The court was not making a decision based upon disputed facts, that is, the court wasn’t determining whether one side story was believable, it was basically saying that even if everything the DJ claimed was true Taylor Swift is not legally responsible for his losing his job.

Regardless, it’s a big win for Taylor and her lawsuit against the DJ seeking $1 in damages for his assault of her is still going forward.
