Witherspoon isn’t Pregnant, she Sues
The reports which have been flowing that Reese Witherspoon may be pregnant ran into a strong “NO” on her side. She may, in fact, attempt to sue Star magazine for invasion of privacy by publishing a “fictional” story that the actress was pregnant.
TMZ has the scoop (as well as a copy of the suit:
In the lawsuit, filed Wednesday in Los Angeles County Superior Court, the Academy Award-winning actress claims the magazine published a false story that she was pregnant “in a callous effort to boost the tabloid’s sagging sales.”
“Contrary to the fabricated Cover Story,” the lawsuit says, “the true facts are that [Reese] is not pregnant, does not have a ‘baby bump’ and has not otherwise gained weight such that she has had to resort to wearing ‘Empire-waist dresses,’ ‘baggy clothing,’ or an ‘old-fashioned 1920’s bathing suit.’”
Reese also alleges in the suit that “this fabricated tall tale was brazenly published as a prominent and conspicuous cover story for the purpose of garnering the maximum attention to the tabloid…”
The lawsuit claims the story was a violation of Reese’s privacy and portrays her in a false light. It seeks unspecified damages.
Okay Reese we got it, are you happy now?
