Fox argues the Kuvshynovs signed a release waiving their right to sue and moved to dismiss the complaint. “When the Kuvshynovs signed the waiver and release, they were unrepresented, had just learned their daughter died, and were living in an active war zone,” Rosado wrote. In addition to wrongful death, the Kuvshynovs and Thomson claim that Fox committed fraud, intentional infliction of emotional distress, defamation and tortious interference. Neither a spokesperson for Fox News or its attorneys in the case responded to requests for comment. The court allowed the parents’ wrongful death claim to move forward under Ukrainian law.
