UPDATE: Daily Mail Retracts Story Alleging Melania Trump Was An Escort

That was fast: hours after being sued by Melania Trump, the Daily Mail has retracted and apologized for a story they published in August that claimed she worked as an escort. Melania Trump is seeking $150 million in damages in a defamation case.

In their apology, Daily Mail stated that the article was intended to be about the rumors surrounding Melania's past and the possible impact on Donald Trump's presidential campaign, and about how Melania Trump was an escort. The publication apologized for "any misinterpretation" that led to people believing that Melania was an escort.

To the extent that anything in the Daily Mail's article was interpreted as stating or suggesting that Mrs. Trump worked as an 'escort' or in the 'sex business,' that she had a 'composite or presentation card for the sex business,' or that either of the modeling agencies referenced in the article were engaged in these businesses, it is hereby retracted, and the Daily Mail newspaper regrets any such misinterpretation.

The Daily Mail newspaper and MailOnline/DailyMail.com have entirely separate editors and journalistic teams.

In so far as MailOnline/DailyMail.com published the same article it wholeheartedly also retracts the above and also regrets any such misinterpretation.

The Trump campaign has continued to insist that all modeling work done by Melania was "legitimate."

It is unclear as to if the lawsuit will proceed.

You're right - you ARE unaware of very old news.

Try to improve yourself. :)

Since WHEN is the Daily Mail no longer owned and/or run by the Murdoch family? They own the New York Post and many of the same pictures and articles run, in the BOTH newspapers, congruently, or within one day of each other and in NO other newspapers that I am familiar with! There might also be a tie-in with an Aussie paper, but I don't read any of those.

FWIW.....I mostly like the DM and read it, on line, every day.

WRONG !

I, unlike YOU, do indeed keep up! The Trumps and the Murdochs had sort of let the dust settle and had been on slightly better terms; however, that was a while ago; the Murdoch clan is back to trying to "get" the Trumps! ;^)

As far as I know Murdoch never ever have owned them.

HE owns the best selling tabloid, “The Sun”, as well as the newspaper of record, “The Times”.

Not the Telegraph (another decent paper), nor the Daily Mail.

I am of course happy to be corrected if I am wrong.

Hope you have a great weekend nopardons.

Trump have really impressed me this week :)

Cheers,

Euro.

Since WHEN has Murdoch owned the London Times?

He most assuredly has NEVER owned the N.Y. Times! The Sulzberger family had owned that for over a century, but it is now and has been owned, for quite a long time, now, by a Mexican...CARLOS SLIM!

I can't find who owns the DM, but I do know that there is some kind of connection with the N.Y. Post. *shrugs*

Love the London TELEGRAPH and read the lefty GUARDIAN because some of their articles are good/interesting. Cheers back! :-)

So, yes - you admit that you don't keep up.

Apology accepted.

Please get someone who actually HAS even a modicum of reading comprehension skills to read and then explain, in the simplest of words, what my posts actually say.

THERE WAS NO APOLOGY, THOUGH YOU TRULY OWE ME ONE!

She is very much the legal definition of a Public Person for litigation purposes.

I’d argue she has avoided the public spotlight, thus she is not.
