While the interview generated headlines worldwide and drew huge viewership for CBS, the aftermath now threatens damages over a reported toxic environment on set. If proven, Meghan's conduct during filming could set damaging precedents for celebrity behavior.
On the other hand, the Sussexes may argue the allegations are retaliation for speaking out against the royal family. However, eyewitnesses bolster CBS' claims, and a failure to apologize or settle could see a very public and damaging court battle.
