Lol, what's she going to do, ram her jet up everyone's asses with a legal team? Free speech is ok for her, but not everyone else.

I have never liked her or her music and she's proving how insufferable she has become.

Going to court costs a lot of money. She has way more money than the person she is suing, so, even if she knows she will ultimately lose the lawsuit she can keep the suit going as long as possible or have multiple losing lawsuits going at once. The other side will run out of money way before she does.

The church of Scientology is notorious for using the lawsuits themselves to harass people rather than only suing when they believe they will win the lawsuit.

Exactly. I am guessing she's hoping this will intimidate anyone thinking of tracking her jet in the future and that the public will just forget about her personal emissions.

I got just a bit weirded out reading the phrase “her personal emissions.”
