From Fox News: NBCUniversal has finalized its defamation settlement with a Georgia doctor who was repeatedly called a “uterus collector” by MSNBC.
NBCUniversal, the parent company of NBC News and MSNBC (the latter is currently being spun off as a separate company), settled the $30 million lawsuit filed by Georgia gynecologist Dr. Mahendra Amin. Amin who was the subject of a report claiming he performed unnecessary hysterectomies at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) center.
Both parties struck the settlement in February, but the lawsuit was officially dismissed Friday in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Georgia. The terms of the settlement were not publicly disclosed.
“We are pleased that Dr. Amin is able to move on from his years-long litigation against NBCUniversal,” Amin’s attorneys, Stacey Evans and Scott Grubman, told Fox News Digital. “It is unfortunate that he had to sue to get confirmation of what was known all along—that he did not perform mass hysterectomies on women detained at Irwin County Detention Center. We are glad that the judge found those statements false as a matter of law because, in fact, Dr. Amin performed only two hysterectomies, both of which were medically necessary and consented to by the patients.”
“Dr. Amin is a dedicated physician who has dedicated his entire career to serving underserved communities. The recklessness of NBCUniversal to try to paint him as an evil doctor was disgusting and we are glad they finally settled the case,” they added.
In September 2020, NBC News had published an article touting allegations by a whistleblower that Amin was performing unnecessary hysterectomies on women detained at the Irwin County Detention Center.
MSNBC’s “Deadline: White House,” “All In with Chris Hayes” and “The Rachel Maddow Show,” then all covered the report on their shows, calling Amin a “uterus collector.”
Amin responded with a lawsuit against NBCUniversal.
