Bill Maher recently faced backlash from one of Donald Trump‘s most passionate advocates… he is now being sued for a staggering $150 million by Laura Loomer after he claimed on national television that she had an affair with the former president.
Based on newly acquired legal documents, which were revealed by TMZ… Loomer has targeted Maher and HBO in her lawsuit filed in Sumter County, Florida, asserting that the host of “Real Time With Bill Maher” tarnished her reputation during his HBO show.

Loomer—a conservative reporter and ardent supporter of Trump— alleges that Maher made “false, damaging, and defamatory” comments regarding her during the ‘Real Time’ episode aired on September 13, 2024.
During the show, Maher stated to his audience, “I suspect Laura Loomer might be in a staged relationship aiming to influence the election because of her close ties to Trump. At 31, she fits his preferred type. A while back, we put together an editorial asking who Trump might be dating—because we know he’s had his fair share of exploits outside of Melania. Perhaps we got our answer last week. It could be Laura Loomer.”
Understandably, Loomer was not pleased with these remarks, asserting in her lawsuit that she has never had any intimate relations with Trump, especially considering he is a married individual.
Loomer emphasizes that Maher lacks any solid proof to back his claims and has no foundation for his false accusations.
She contends that Maher fabricated the entire narrative purely for attention and fame, while also attempting to profit from his falsehoods, along with his network, HBO, which she claims was complicit in his actions.

A week following Maher’s provocative remarks, Trump took to his Truth Social platform, labeling Bill as a “confused disaster” and criticizing his show as “dull,” alongside a variety of other negative statements.
As previously mentioned, Loomer is seeking over $150 million in compensation. We will have to wait and see what the judiciary decides on this matter.
We have made an inquiry to Maher for his input … but have yet to receive a response.
