Hours after she files a lawsuit, Daily Mail recants story claiming Melania Trump worked as an escort

Oops. Sorry!

Back in August, the Daily Mail published an article about Melania Trump’s racy modeling days. In it, they basically claimed that she had once worked as an escort.

While it’s true they didn’t explicitly state the allegations were fact, they rode a knife edge, repeating rumors and shoveling slimy innuendo in such a way that readers were left with the impression that such accusations were probably true. The story was picked up by a variety of outlets, but was immediately denied by the Trump camp. Within two days there were rumblings of a lawsuit and several websites, including Inquistr, Bipartisan Report, and Tarpley.net backpedaled.

I tried to work as one for a while. Turns out no one wants a middle aged overweight balding escort. :)

Privilege bigots. You should apply for a government research grant on that, make a few million.

I saw the article that the various news reports were based on. The Slovakian magazine article just said that the people that ran the modeling agency that she worked for, also ran an escort service. It did NOT say that she was employed in the escort service. The retraction makes that clear.

However the way the articles were worded, it would give the impression to the casual reader that she WAS an escort, hence the lawsuit.

I love how Trump makes everyone from Supreme Court justices to news organizations crawl at his feet to apologize.

People ever wonder why Cruz never sued for libel against claim that he cheated on his wife
