It seems that it’s the time for success and more success for ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ actress, Keira Knightley. After the success of her movie now the British origin actress has won $6,000 libel claim against a British tabloid, Daily Mail.
Earlier this year newspaper carried a story that suggested that Keira was responsible for the death of an anorexic teenager, the story also hinted that Keira has an eating disorder as well.
In January, the Daily Mail published a photo of Knightley in a bikini with the headline, which read:
If pictures like this one of Keira carried a health warning, my darling daughter might have lived.
But the court ruled in favour of Knightley and didn’t hold her responsible for the death.
Kate Wilson, representing the publisher of the Daily Mail, Associated Newspapers, told:
The newspaper accepted that Knightley was not responsible for the death, and that Knightley does not have an eating disorder, and has not misled the public.
Knightley, who was not present during the hearing, intends to donate the settlement amount to an eating disorder & mental illness charity, Beat.
Knightley’s lawyer, Simon Smith, said:
The article could be interpreted to say that she was personally responsible for the death of Sophie Mazurek, 19, who had suffered from anorexia.
It appears to be a dream year for ravishing Knightley!
