Wilson v. Cable News Network, Inc.

The anti-SLAPP statute can be used to screen claims alleging discriminatory or retaliatory employment actions; in such cases, the plaintiff’s allegations about the defendant’s invidious motives will not shield the claim from the same preliminary screening for minimal merit that would apply to any other claim arising from protected activity. The anti-SLAPP statute cannot apply to a defamation claim based on privately communicated remarks that were not made in connection with any issue of public significance.
