British Newspaper Publishes Massive Apology to Melania Trump; Will Pay First Lady ‘Substantial Damages’ and Legal Costs

The British newspaper The Telegraph published a massive apology Saturday to First Lady Melania Trump regarding an article published January 19 that began with the admission, “we have been asked to make clear that the article contained a number of false statements which we accept should not have been published” and concluded with a promise to pay “substantial damages” and legal costs. “We apologise unreservedly to The First Lady and her family for any embarrassment caused by our publication of these allegations. As a mark of our regret we have agreed to pay Mrs Trump substantial damages as well as her legal costs.”

The Telegraph apologized for numerous false statements about Melania and her family. The full text of the apology:

Following last Saturday’s (Jan 19) Telegraph magazine cover story “The mystery of Melania”, we have been asked to make clear that the article contained a number of false statements which we accept should not have been published. Mrs Trump’s father was not a fearsome presence and did not control the family. Mrs Trump did not leave her Design and Architecture course at University relating to the completion of an exam, as alleged in the article, but rather because she wanted to pursue a successful career as a professional model. Mrs Trump was not struggling in her modelling career before she met Mr Trump, and she did not advance in her career due to the assistance of Mr Trump.

We accept that Mrs Trump was a successful professional model in her own right before she met her husband and obtained her own modelling work without his assistance. Mrs Trump met Mr Trump in 1998, not in 1996 as stated in the article. The article also wrongly claimed that Mrs Trump’s mother, father and sister relocated to New York in 2005 to live in buildings owned by Mr Trump. They did not. The claim that Mrs Trump cried on election night is also false.

We apologise unreservedly to The First Lady and her family for any embarrassment caused by our publication of these allegations. As a mark of our regret we have agreed to pay Mrs Trump substantial damages as well as her legal costs.

Someone needs to create a meme using that premise

I had an implant when I lost my right breast to cancer in 1994. It wasn't long before I was regretting it, and forced to use a "cheater" on the other side to sort-of match the size after I lost a lot of weight in 2013.

I keep hoping I will find a way this side of major surgery to have it deflated and removed. I would rather have tiny things than "one of each."

At the time, I was dumber than a box of rocks and figured the doctors knew what they were doing. If I knew then what I know now...

Q: Did the rag fire anyone who had anything to do with writing, editing, clearing publication of that trash?!

Inquiring minds want to know.

These days, when implants are required to replace a surgically removed cancerous breast, both sides are done to make sure they match. And insurance is required to pay for both sides.

They're at their worst when the distance is most intimate"

Definitely true. Unless they're used for reconstructive surgery, I think cosmetic augmentation lowers the overall quality of what men consider physically beautiful in women.

Don't get me started on tattoos and tramp stamps...

>>>Hot. The breast augmentation IMHO does not look good on her, but what do I know<<<

I wasn’t aware she had a Breast augmentation. You learn something new on FR every day.

Archie: All right, all right, I apologize.
Otto: You’re really sorry?
Archie: I’m really really sorry. I apologize unreservedly.
Otto: You take it back?
Archie: I do. I offer a complete and utter retraction. The imputation was totally without basis in fact, and was in no way fair comment, and was motivated purely by malice, and I deeply regret any distress that my comments may have caused you or your family, and I hereby undertake not to repeat any such slander at any time in the future.

The Brits have never liked her. The Daily Mail had to pay her $$$$ for lies they told before she was FLOTUS and they’re still snippy with her.

And for the uninitiated, Otto is hanging Archie upside-down out of a window.

I give them credit for having enough integrity to publicly acknowledge and retract their false news.

That puts them light years ahead of the rest of the media.

WOW!

Are you trying to give old guys a stroke with that photo?

Do you understand how difficult it is to get replacement parts once we get past a certain age?

It would be nice if the newspapers here and the tv media and the celebs would do the same.
