Mattel pleaded public figure libel, claiming that Silverstein published false statements, either with malice or with recklessness. Mattel admitted that Silverstein believed what he published; therefore eliminating their "with malice" claim. Silverstein had asked Mattel what was factually incorrect, but there was no response. Silverstein asked for documents that might have shown his statements were false, but they refused to provide any supporting documentation. Therefore Silverstein did not publish those statements recklessly.
