Doesn't the plaintiff have to be the government for a lawsuit to be a "SLAPP" suit?

These are different state by state, but Anti-SLAPP is meant to protect from vexatious litigants, that is someone rich threatening to sue you to shut you up. I'm not a lawyer, I just listen to Serious Trouble podcast.
