Several internet users even said that the only thing more absurd than Rudy's appeal is the haircut on Rudy's right side.

However, the laughter was short-lived as Giuliani faced a serious blow in court. A jury awarded $148 million in damages to two former Georgia election workers, Wandrea “Shaye” Moss and her mother, Ruby Freeman, who sued Giuliani for defamation.

The lawsuit stemmed from false claims Giuliani spread in 2020, accusing the women of ballot fraud, which led to racist threats and harassment that significantly impacted their lives.

Trump's ex-lawyer Rudy Giuliani's damages verdict sent shockwaves through the courtroom

The damages verdict sent shockwaves through the courtroom, with an audible gasp when the jury foreperson announced the $75 million punitive damages award. According to the Washington Post, Moss and Freeman were each granted an additional roughly $36 million in other damages.

Emotional testimony from the victims described the toll the false conspiracy theories took on their lives, including the fear for their safety and the need to alter their daily routines.

However, Rudy Giuliani appeared unfazed by the verdict, vowing to appeal and dismissing the awarded amount as absurd. Despite having already been found liable in the case and admitting to false accusations, Giuliani continued to repeat baseless allegations about the women to reporters outside the courthouse.

The defamation case revealed recordings of Giuliani falsely accusing the election workers of ballot fraud, echoing Trump's conspiracy theories. The jury heard audio recordings of graphic and racist threats the women received, highlighting the emotional harm caused by Giuliani's actions.

The financial consequences of the defamation verdict add to Giuliani's growing legal troubles. Already facing financial strain from other lawsuits and investigations related to his representation of Donald Trump, Giuliani's lawyer suggested that the defamation case could be financially ruinous for the 79-year-old former mayor.
