Angelina Jolie takes legal action against the Daily Mail

Just days after attempting (and apparently failing) to apologize to George Clooney for publishing a false story about a supposed rift between Clooney and his mother-in-law-to-be, the U.K. publication has now rubbed Angelina Jolie the wrong way with yet another news story.

story discusses Angelina Jolie’s troubled past including her difficult relationship with her father, fellow actor John Voight, her drug use and her previous sexual relationships among other topics. It also highlights her transformation from troubled star to an internationally recognized actress and humanitarian.
But the centerpiece of the article and the cause of the latest uproar against The Daily Mail is the alleged 16-minute video of Jolie supposedly in the midst of her heroin addiction. The actual video is not posted on The Daily Mail’s article but screencaps that are supposedly from the video are included throughout the story. The video was reportedly acquired from The National Enquirer and shot by Franklin Meyer, a New York drug dealer who claims to have sold drugs to Jolie. In the video, a frail looking Jolie paces back and forth talking on the phone with very sunken eyes.
Now Jolie is taking action. According to The London Times and Time Magazine, Jolie plans to take legal actions against The Daily Mail. Jolie, who has discussed her drug use in the past, calls the video a “gross violation of her privacy,” according to Time Magazine.
