Nicole
Kidman to Sue British Newspaper Over Perfume Claims
12/3/07
Actress Nicole Kidman is taking legal action against a British
newspaper over claims it jeopardized her position as celebrity spokeswoman
for a perfumery.
The Moulin Rouge! star is suing the Daily Telegraph over claims Kidman
preferred Jo Malone's White Jasmine and Mint scent to the product she
endorses, Chanel No.5.
The article stated Nicole had been "dabbing it on whenever she had
a moment" while in the U.K. to promote her new film The Golden
Compass.
A statement from law firm Schillings - which is acting on Kidman's
behalf - insists the allegations were "entirely untrue" and
"grossly defamatory".
It adds, "We have been instructed to obtain an immediate
retraction of such allegations and are taking separate action against the
Daily Telegraph."
