Presley Suing over “Fat” Story
10-Mar-2008
Written by: Janet Onyenucheya
Lisa Marie Presley was so distraught over photos published last week that she is suing the British newspaper that printed the story.
According to the Associated Press, Lisa Marie Presley has sued a British newspaper for alleging that she was piling on the pounds because of her unhealthy appetite, her lawyer said Monday.
Presley, who confirmed her pregnancy last week, alleges in a suit filed at London's High Court on Friday that the story in Britain's Daily Mail was slanderous and degrading.
"Once they got a glimpse of my expanding physique a few days ago, they have been like a pack of coyotes circling their prey whilst eerily howling with delight," she said on her blog.
Presley claims the pictures taken at a Hollywood restaurant last week forced her to go public about the baby she is having with her fourth husband, music producer Michael Lockwood.
"It really upset her," Presley's attorney Jo Paton told the Associated Press. "She was about to announce her pregnancy and was shocked and hurt by the unkind article about her appearance."
Paton said Presley is seeking an apology and damages.
"We are investigating the matter," the newspaper said in a statement.
