Judge dismisses Beckham’s libel suit against magazine
A judge on Monday
dismissed David Beckham’s $25 million libel lawsuit against a celebrity
magazine that ran an article saying the married, British soccer star
slept with a call girl. U.S. District Judge Manuel Real said Beckham,
whose wife Victoria was a member of the Spice Girls singing group, is a
public figure and claims of adultery against him are of interest to the
public.
Real also said
there was no evidence, In Touch Weekly magazine exhibited malice when
it published the story about the L.A. Galaxy player, which is key
because under U.S. law, evidence of malice is an important benchmark
for winning a libel lawsuit. Beckham has declared in court papers that
he never met Irma Nici, the $10,000 per-night New York call girl
originally from Europe, who was quoted in the story saying she slept
with him in New York and London.
Attorneys for
Beckham said they will appeal Real’s decision and continue their fight
against U.S.-based magazine and its owner, Bauer Publishing Company.
