Bringing a lawsuit is about the worst thing he can do. For celebrities to bring lawsuits for slander/libel is almost always the wrong answer because you're opening your entire life up to a bunch of lawyers to go through it with a microscope, and then get to ask you questions under oath. Failing to answer truthfully can get you into trouble for civil contempt.
Plus the entire lawsuit perpetuates the issue for years, so instead of the brouhaha dying down quickly, it can go on and on and on.
Once you file a lawsuit, the train has left the station, and you now only control about 40% of what happens. The other party and the judge has alot of control over what happens also, and you may have invited everyone over, but it's not your party anymore...
