9:20Now PlayingRolling Stone has settled a lawsuit with a University of Virginia fraternity chapter. Ana Kasparian, Jayar Jackson, and Grace Baldridge, the hosts of The Young Turks, tell you why the magazine had to pay the penalty. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
“Rolling Stone's disastrous and discredited campus rape story now has a price tag.
The magazine has settled a defamation lawsuit filed by the University of Virginia fraternity at the center of the 2014 blockbuster feature by Sabrina Erdely, which was retracted after key details in the story were called into question. According to reports, Rolling Stone will pay a settlement amounting to $1.65 million.
The article, which was published in late fall 2014, described an alleged brutal gang rape of a student named "Jackie" at a UVA fraternity. The story drew wide attention and triggered a police investigation, but it was officially retracted in April 2015 after Jackie's claims were called into question.
"The Virginia Alpha Chapter of Phi Kappa Psi fraternity has agreed to settle and dismiss its defamation lawsuit against Rolling Stone and Sabrina Erdely arising from the magazine’s publication of the November, 2014 article 'A Rape on Campus: A Brutal Assault and Struggle for Justice at UVA,'" the fraternity said in a statement.”
