Default Uk tabloid apologizes to Teri Hatcher for false 'sex in van' story and pays damages

Quote:
LONDON Apr 19, 2006 (AP)— Britain's best-selling newspaper apologized Wednesday to "Desperate Housewives" star Teri Hatcher for a story that claimed she had sex with men in a van outside her home.

The Sun tabloid acknowledged the article, which it ran last August, was "totally incorrect" and apologized to Hatcher "for the embarrassment caused."

Her legal firm, Schillings, said the newspaper had agreed to pay undisclosed damages and Hatcher's costs. It said the celebrity magazine Heat also had agreed to apologize for printing the same allegations in August.

Hatcher, 41, accepted undisclosed libel damages in December from another tabloid, The Daily Sport, which had earlier made the same claims.

The Daily Sport agreed to pay "very substantial damages" and Hatcher's legal costs, print a front-page apology and promised not repeat the allegations.

The actress, who has a young daughter, issued a statement in December saying she had "tolerated many ridiculous and fabricated lies and gossip in the tabloids" as something that "just comes with the territory of fame."

"But when a story appeared about me, insinuating that I am an irresponsible and neglectful parent, I had to draw the line."

I hear that the story was only technically untrue. The gist of it was that the tab printed Hatcher was getting it on in a van, while her child was inside, unsupervised. Hatcher maintained that her child was supervised, by a nanny, while lovely Teri was doing the backstroke outside. She won on the statement that her child was unsupervised, not whether she was sexing it up with anonymous strangers.
