Actress Kate Hudson accepted libel damages on Thursday from a the UK Enquirer who printed a photo making her look too skinny, alongside an article
that said her movie star mother Goldie Hawn wanted her to eat more.
Kate sued the magazine over the article which appeared last October under the headline "Goldie Tells Kate: Eat Something!"
Her lawyer, Simon Smith, told Britain's High Court the story
and pictures implied Hudson had "recklessly and foolishly endangered
her health by deliberately starving herself."
One photograph "purported to show Ms Hudson as very frail and
gaunt in appearance," he said, although the magazine had on other
occasions printed photos taken weeks before and after, describing her
as looking "stunning" and "great."
"The allegations are entirely false and were deeply offensive and embarrassing to Ms Hudson," Smith said and continued:
"Ms Hawn has explained to me that she has never had any
concerns about her daughter's appearance whatsoever and that she has
always appeared to be very healthy and happy."
The magazine agreed to pay an undisclosed sum and print a public apology.
I don't know, Kate is looking pretty skinny these days. Although I loved how chubby she got when she was pregnant a couple years ago. You be the judge.
