After the actress first sued FX, a state superior court judge turned down FX’s request to have the suit thrown out. In March, that decision was reversed after a California appeals court ruled that Havilland’s suit against the network "should have been tossed because it’s precluded by the First Amendment," according to The Hollywood Reporter. In 2019, the U.S. Supreme Court rejected her petition to review the dismissal of her lawsuit brought against the makers of the show.
