Duchovny vs. Daily Mail
David Duchovny is suing the UK’s Daily Mail for defamation and invasion of privacy, arising out of a recent story claiming that the X-Files star got XXX with his tennis coach, Edit Pakay.
Seeking damages in excess of $1 million, the lawsuit alleges:
“[T]he Daily Mail published false and defamatory claims that David Duchovny cheated on his wife with a tennis instructor named Edit Pakay. This is false. It never happened. Daily Mail knew that the story was false…Nevertheless, the Daily Mail went forward with the story – even after being told point blank of its falsity.”
Popsquire Pop Quiz: Can celebrities sue for defamation?
Yes, but…defamation lawsuits brought by celebs can be difficult to win. Unlike regular folk, celebs generally have to meet a higher standard. Celebs have to prove that the alleged defamatory statement is false and was made with malicious intent, meaning that it was published with either knowledge of falsity or in reckless disregard for the truth.
