Kate Hudson
Takes Action Over Pictures
Actress
Kate Hudson has made a legal complaint
against five publications over photographs
she says wrongly suggested she had an
eating disorder.
The
daughter of Hollywood star Goldie Hawn has
instructed London law firm Schillings to
act on her behalf.
The
images gave a "seriously false and
misleading impression", it
said.
Letters
have been sent to the Daily Mail
newspaper, the National Enquirer, Heat,
Closer and Star Magazine.
Emap,
publisher of the magazines Heat and
Closer, confirmed they were in receipt of
a letter from Schillings.
"We will
make a response in due course," a
spokeswoman said.
Schillings
said an analysis of how the photographs
came to be taken, sold and published will
form a key aspect of its case.
The
published images circulated widely in
September and October 2005, it
said.
The firm
added the images were "used to accompany
and illustrate articles which suggested
that Ms Hudson had an eating disorder that
was so grave and serious that she was
wasting away to the extreme concern of her
mother and family and although not stated,
of commercial and artistic concern to
those who might cast her in movies and
choose to use her image to endorse
products".
Almost
Famous star Ms Hudson's weight and diet
was of a healthy nature," both at the time
of the images being taken and at present,"
it added.
