Melania Trump Refiles Lawsuit Against The Daily Mail

[Gromit]

Melania Trump has refiled her lawsuit against Mail Media Inc, the publishers of the on-line newspaper.
The previous filing was thrown out because Maryland was not the relevent jusistiction. She has now filed in New York where Mail Media Inc have an office.
In the new filing, she is claiming for losses on cashing in on being first lady. Not sure the first lady should be exploiting her office as such, but she is estimating her potential losses due to the Daily Mail article as £105 million.

[ummmm]

£105 million for doing what?

[cassa333]

There are no losses for being First Lady. Ergo £0 compensation.

Mind you I don't know what she is seeing for.

I've not ben following this
What is she suing for - what did the mail do ?

[ummmm]

I think they reported that she used to be an escort.

[Bazile]

And was she ?

[ummmm]

I don't know.

[Bazile]

And what would she have done that would have earned her 100+million ?

[jackthehat]

I carry the vain hope that the fact that mega-rich celebrities will sue the newspapers for their shabby reporting practices will somehow filter down and the 'print-barons' will insist on truthful stories appearing in their publications.

Ummm / Bazile

The Mail published the story that she was a 'Sex Worker'. Melania sued and the Mail apologised and removed the story from their site and printed a retraction in their newspaper. So it seems the Mail have already admitted that the story is untrue.

Loss of earnings is a normal claim from someone who can prove their reputation has been trashed. Whether the first lady should be exploiting her posotion to make $millions in the first place, is moot.
