Ms Teri Hatcher, Hollywood actress and star of TVs blockbuster Desperate Housewives, has instructed London law firm Schillings to issue and serve today libel proceedings in the UK against the publishers of the British tabloid newspaper The Daily Sport. The legal proceedings will concern recent articles which Ms Hatcher maintains falsely alleged that she engages in sex romps on a regular basis with a series of men in a VW van parked outside her LA home for this purpose. The allegations made in the Sport were repeated extensively elsewhere in many countries.
The Daily Sport additionally allege that Ms Hatcher does this so as not to be caught by her 7 year-old daughter during such sexual activity.
Ms Hatcher is a single mother who naturally takes a pride in protecting and bringing up her daughter at home in a caring and responsible way, and bitterly refutes these offensive allegations.
The case is expected to go to Jury trial in Londons High Court in 2006, if it does not settle earlier.
