Judge Dismisses Altman Sister's Abuse Suit Over Missed Medical Exam
US District Judge Zachary Bluestone dismissed a sexual abuse lawsuit filed by Ann Altman against her brother, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, on October 20, 2026. The court ruled with prejudice after Ann Altman refused to attend three scheduled independent medical examinations, violating discovery obligations. Ann Altman had alleged that Sam Altman sexually abused her between 1997 and 2006 at their family home in Clayton, Missouri. Sam Altman and his family denied the claims, stating Ann Altman has mental health challenges and that the accusations emerged after the family rejected her demands for increased financial support. The case was filed in January 2025 in the Eastern District of Missouri.
