Kate Hudson Wins The Skinny Claims

Kate Hudson Wins The Skinny pic Kate Hudson, star of the film How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, has accepted undisclosed libel damages from a supermarket tabloid that claimed she was dangerously thin, her lawyer said Thursday. Kate Hudson brought High Court proceedings over a story that appeared in The UK Enquirer, a celebrity gossip magazine, last October.
Kate Hudson took action against the title after it published a story with the headline: “Goldie tells Kate: Eat something! And she listens!” It claimed that Hawn had confronted her daughter over photographs that showed her looking “painfully thin”. The article was accompanied by a picture of Hudson looking frail and gaunt, with an accompanying photo of Hudson that made her appear too skinny, implying that she had “recklessly and foolishly endangered her health by deliberately starving herself.

Simon Smith, the lawyer for Hudson, told the High Court in London his client refuted all claims in the article, saying, “Ms. Hawn has explained to me that she never had any concerns about her daughter’s appearance whatsoever.”
The British edition of the National Enquirer has agreed to pay undisclosed damages and print an apology for an October 2005 article. American Media Inc., the magazine’s U.S.-based publisher, apologized for “the deep distress and acute embarrassment” caused by the allegations, which it acknowledged were false.

The allegations were entirely false and were deeply offensive and embarrassing to the actress who was concerned with the effect upon her career. “The allegations that I sued over were blatantly false, and I felt I had no choice but to set the record straight by challenging them in court,” Hudson said in a statement.
The truth was that after she gave birth to her son in January 2004, she worked hard and found it challenging, as any woman would, to get back into physical shape in the very limited time she had before filming the movie, The Skeleton Key. This involved considerable weight-loss over a short period of time but, other than that, her weight had never fluctuated more than a few pounds throughout her adult life.

He added that although she ate healthily and continued to pursue a regular fitness regime with the help of a personal trainer, she was not a fitness fanatic and considered it more important to be healthy and happy, particularly during pregnancy.
Marcelle D’Argy-Smith, the former Cosmopolitan editor, said that while there was pressure on celebrities to stay slim, the suggestion that they have an eating disorder was highly undesirable. “It’s one thing to be slim, it’s another to have a disease. It’s pretty unattractive,” she said.

Kate Hudson, who is married to Chris Robinson, the lead singer with the Black Crowes, is the daughter of Hawn and a musician, Bill Hudson. She has appeared on the cover of Vanity Fair three times and her films include How To Lose A Guy in 10 Days and received an Oscar nomination for her role in “Almost Famous.”
