OpenAI CEO Sam Altman wins dismissal of sister's lawsuit
A US district judge dismissed the case after Ann Altman had refused to attend an independent medical examination.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has successfully had a lawsuit brought against him by his sister Ann Altman dismissed. According to the case filed on 6 January 2025 in the Eastern District of Missouri, Ann Altman alleged that Sam Altman sexually abused her between 1997 and 2006. However, U.S. District Judge Zachary Bluestone dismissed the case after Ann Altman refused to attend an independent medical examination three times.
The judge stated that Ann Altman had violated her discovery obligations and forced the case to be halted, leading to its dismissal with prejudice. The family of Sam Altman reportedly supported Ann Altman financially and provided her with monthly financial support, covering her bills and rent, while also facilitating medical help.
The Altman family stated that Ann Altman has mental health challenges and that all her claims against Sam Altman were utterly untrue.
