Kate Winslet accepts damages from UK newspaper
LONDON (AP) - Lawyers for Kate Winslet say the actress has
accepted 25,000 pounds (more than $40,000) in damages after the
Daily Mail falsely reported in January she lied about her exercise
regime.
Winslet was not in court for Tuesday's settlement, but through
her lawyers said she wanted an apology ``to demonstrate my
commitment to the views that I have always expressed about body
issues, including diet and exercise.''
Winslet has been an outspoken critic of excessive dieting. In
2007, she won damages against a British magazine which wrongly
stated she had visited a diet doctor.
The actress won both an Oscar and a Golden Globe earlier this
year for her performance in ``The Reader.''
Associated Newspapers, owners of the Daily Mail, apologized for
``any distress caused.''
