Keira Knightley wins weight process in court · 2007-05-25 18:02
Keira Knightley, the star of “Pirates of the Caribbean”, has accepted £3,000 High Court libel damages over a newspaper article about her weight.
The Daily Mail published a photograph of the actress on a beach, with remarks about her weight in an article about a girl who had died of anorexia.
Ms Knightley’s solicitor said “deeply offensive” suggestions could imply she had an eating disorder and bore responsibility for the girl’s death.
The damages will be donated to eating disorder charity Beat.
Ms Knightley, whose Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End opens in cinemas this week, was filming in Wales and could not be at London’s High Court for the settlement.
The defendant accepts that [Ms Knightly] does not bear responsibility for Sophie’s death, does not have an eating disorder, and has not misled the public, BBC informs.
