Angelina Jolie is taking legal action against the Daily Mail over it publishing a 15-year-old video shot by her alleged drug dealer that shows her looking unwell and emaciated.
The Times reported yesterday morning that the star is suing for breach of privacy. The video was originally published by the National Enquirer but also features a Mail Online logo. The clip features Jolie speaking on the phone in a rambling manner. The footage was shot by Franklin Meyer, a convicted drug dealer, who claims he was selling Jolie heroin and cocaine at the time of the clip.
The Mail's article says: “MailOnline has reached out to Jolie’s reps for comment.”
Reports of Jolie’s legal action come just days after the Daily Mail was forced to apologise to actor George Clooney for suggesting his fiancee’s mother objected to their marriage on religious grounds.
Clooney blasted the publication for the story, writing a blistering op-ed in USA Today, in which he accused the Daily Mail of behaviour that “should be criminal”.
Clooney has refused to accept the apology, taking to USA Today once more to say: “There is one constant when a person or company is caught doing something wrong. The coverup is always worse.”
