Yvonne Tattersall Faces Libel Suit Over Facebook Claims Against Mother-in-Law
- The court case involves accusations between Yvonne Tattersall and her mother-in-law Lynette regarding statements made on social media.
- Lynette is seeking substantial damages, claiming reputational harm due to Yvonne's assertions in a Facebook post.
- The trial exposes serious family disputes and differing perspectives on financial dealings following the death of Yvonne's husband.
Yvonne Tattersall, a costume designer known for her work on 'Peaky Blinders', is involved in a court battle with her mother-in-law, Lynette Tattersall. The dispute centers around a Facebook post made by Yvonne in September 2021, where she accused Lynette of trying to make her homeless and spreading lies about her. This post has led to Lynette seeking over £40,000 in damages, claiming that Yvonne's statements have damaged her reputation within their community. During the trial at Manchester's county court, Yvonne defended her statements, asserting their truthfulness. Lynette's legal team argued that the allegations were personally and damagingly false, and they seek aggravated damages if they win the case. The ongoing litigation highlights deep familial rifts and conflicting narratives regarding familial financial arrangements, particularly concerning the estate of Yvonne's late husband.
