Nessie Posted April 19, 2017 Posted April 19, 2017 Melania Trump wins damages from Daily Mail over 'escort' allegation The UK's Daily Mail newspaper has agreed to pay damages and costs to the first lady of the United States over an article about her modelling career. The newspaper had reported allegations that Melania Trump once worked as an escort, but later retracted the claims. The story was published during the US election campaign last year. Mrs Trump accepted damages and an apology from the newspaper at London's High Court. The article was published by the Daily Mail newspaper, and subsequently the paper's digital operation Mail Online. In a statement, Mrs Trump's lawyer said that she is "very pleased" and "will remain vigilant to protect her good name and reputation from those who make false and defamatory statements about her". Mrs Trump filed a lawsuit against the Daily Mail in the UK, and filed against Mail Online in the US. The payout settles the case both in New York and the UK, despite London's High Court having no jurisdiction in the US. The US suit, filed last year, sought damages of $150m (£120m). The amount accepted by Mrs Trump in London was not disclosed in court. However, reports suggest the payout was closer to $3m, including legal costs and damages. In its apology, the Daily Mail acknowledged it had published "allegations that she provided services beyond simply modelling". The article also claimed that Mr and Mrs Trump may have met three years before they actually did, and later "staged" their first meeting. "We accept that these allegations about Mrs Trump are not true," the newspaper said. A lawyer for Mrs Trump told the London court the allegations "strike at the heart of the claimant's personal integrity and dignity". Her lawyer said the double-page spread in August last year, titled "Racy photos and troubling questions about his wife's past that could derail Trump", featured an old nude photo of Mrs Trump from her modelling career. "Readers of the newspaper that day could not fail to miss the article," he said. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-39575680 Quote
Guest CzarnaWisnia Posted April 21, 2017 Posted April 21, 2017 20+ years in an English speaking country (however badly often such language is spoken/spelled by its inhabitants) and you still have an accent? LAZY! People should be judged for what they think, do and for their character, not for the way they speak or where they come from. Many immigrants have an accent, it's not anything to be ashamed of, no matter how many fucking years they've immigrated. Quote

Many immigrants have an accent, it's not anything to be ashamed of, no matter how many fucking years they've immigrated. Exactly. About 50% of the people I work with speak French with an accent from their first language and I love it so much. It is absolutely no fault to have an accent. On the contrary, it gives a great diversity to the conversations and the people met in society (I never thought that i would defend Melania on anything, but it seems that there is a beginning to everything).

The way this thing called Melania Trump speaks says a lot about how she thinks and what she does. There is no excuse for being lazy, especially with all the dosh at her disposal that she happily married. No mercy for this imbecile married to her evil POTUS. End of. And let's fucking close for good this ghastly thread opened by a thankfully long gone troll. Bye. Quote

That's right let's close it and why don't you start by stopping posting in it with your intolerant bullshit re. people with long-lasting accents. You're the troll now. Quote

Skin Posted April 30, 2017 Posted April 30, 2017 Most pointless First Lady ever. There has to be a way to erase this Trump era from American history. Quote
Robin Posted April 30, 2017 Posted April 30, 2017 Emperor Trump has good taste in women my respects!!! Quote
Roland Barthes Posted May 1, 2017 Posted May 1, 2017 If the Daily Mail had REAL journalists they could have easily won that case. Knowing the agency she was working for in the 90's and especially the big boss (father of the son of my sister's best friend)... Quote
runa Posted May 5, 2017 Posted May 5, 2017 I was reading what it costs for his golf trip in florida and I'm just amazed no one says anything. The guy is burning that money just like it is his and there's no reaction. Quote
Sanctuary Posted May 23, 2017 Posted May 23, 2017 5 hours ago, spazz said: She clearly hates him 😐 No doubt she hates him. Did you see how every time he turned his back during the inauguration, her fake smile dropped. Like she clearly married him for the money, but I don't think she ever signed up to be a part of a national spectacle. Can't wait to read that bio after he bites the dust. It's going to be a bestseller. Quote
Genevieve Vavance Posted May 23, 2017 Posted May 23, 2017 I think he is treating her really badly Quote
karbatal Posted May 23, 2017 Posted May 23, 2017 I wish Melania sabotages Trump from the inside and becomes a heroine. Quote
jaron Posted November 28, 2017 Posted November 28, 2017 I love it, its white !!! Just like christmas, which is white too. The snow is white. And when the snow falls, everything and everywhere gets white. Its a white christmas yall Quote
Lolo Posted November 28, 2017 Posted November 28, 2017 Well if that doesn't give you a warm comfy feel of Christmas, what does? She obviously can't tell which is nightmare and which is reality anymore. She is living the dream. Quote
