Actress named in Clinton article wants retraction
CNN Politics ^ | June 3, 2008

CNN) -- Actress Gina Gershon is demanding a retraction from Vanity Fair after the magazine reported "high-end Hollywood dinner-party gossip" that former President Clinton "has been seen visiting" her in California.

The lengthy article by the magazine's national editor, Todd Purdum, mentioned the actress along with several other women rumored to be associated with Clinton, all anonymously sourced.

"Todd Purdum's insinuation is a lie, and it is irresponsible journalism," said Gershon's publicist, Mara Buxbaum. "We are demanding a retraction."

A letter sent by Gershon's attorneys to Vanity Fair editor-in-chief Graydon Carter, obtained by CNN, demanded a published correction and retraction and threatened possible litigation for defamation.

The actress appeared in 1995's "Showgirls" and the more recent "P.S. I Love You."

Gershon "is extremely offended by the false and defamatory inference that she engaged in an adulterous relationship with the President," the letter says, adding that the actress has been in the same room with Clinton three times, always in the presence of at least a dozen people.

She would have been better off “retracting” her role in “Showgirls.” Although it had its moments.

I don’t think she has a good case.
“Actress Gina Gershon is demanding a retraction from Vanity Fair after the magazine reported “high-end Hollywood dinner-party gossip” that former President Clinton “has been seen visiting” her in California.”
If it was reported as “gossip”, then it was not reported as fact. Merely gossip, which implies that it’s not known for sure.
