I think its because he "defamed" them by claiming they were crisis actors and faked everything. Which could be considered extremely damaging to them socially and their credibility, if not drive them out of their communities at the worst.
That law is working pretty much exactly as it should in terms of them claiming it. The injustice is how he was railroaded hard without much ability to defend himself really (if he could present any evidence at all, no matter how dumb, to show why he thought that they should have no real case) and then a massively oversized payment at the end just to punish him for existing.
I think they are overplaying it massively just to make the case seem more legitimate, but after something like MeToo I think we can all see how these laws were meant to be used to protect us from someone ruining our life over random accusations.
