Will Smith gets apology from WENN
- Share via
Attorneys for Will Smith say a British media group has apologized for a story that falsely claimed the U.S. actor said Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler was a good person.
Celebrity news and photo service World Entertainment News Ltd., or WENN, published an article in December about a Smith interview that appeared in a Scottish newspaper. The WENN piece did not give a full account of what the actor actually said.
WENN apologized for the article, but Smith’s lawyers say that was not enough. WENN has now made a formal apology at London’s high court, and agreed to pay unspecified damages.
WENN’s attorney, John Melville-Smith, says the company accepts that the report was wrong and is apologizing.
