Per Wiki, a public individual (celebrity, politician, etc) can’t sue for incorrect information unless it is shown that the outlet knew it was false or showed a reckless disregard for the truth.


Given that Buzzfeed didn’t see the evidence supporting their accusations, that may meet the standard for “reckless disregard for the truth.”
