[EXCLUSIVE] Spike Lee Wins Legal Victory Over George Zimmerman Tweet Lawsuit

Spike Lee scored a legal victory against a elderly couple whose address the film director tweeted out mistakenly thinking it was George Zimmerman’s, with a judge dismissing the lawsuit and awarding the couple nothing from their 1.2 million lawsuit – theJasmineBRAND.com exclusively reports.

Lee was sued by Elaine and David McClain for 1.2 million dollars last year, after he tweeted an address thinking it was George Zimmerman’s but it was actually the elderly couples Florida home address. Lee reached out and apologized and paid them 10k as part of a settlement. However, the couple filed suit despite the settlement claiming they were still receiving hate mail and threats along with suffering from anxiety and fear, they also had to move out of their home as a result of Lee’s tweet.
