TAYLOR HAMPTON IN COURT TODAY

ANL Apologises to Koo Stark

ANL, the publisher of the Daily Mail and Mail Online, apologised to Taylor Hampton’s client, Koo Stark, and joined her in reading a Statement in Open Court today.

In November 2019, ANL published an article falsely alleging that Ms Stark is a porn actress. This allegation is defamatory and untrue.

Apology in respect of Daily Mail article

Counsel for ANL offered “its sincere apologies” to Ms Stark “for the distress, embarrassment and upset cased to her by the publication of the Daily Mail article.” ANL accepted that “there was and is no truth in the allegation advanced about [Ms Stark] and is happy to set the record straight.”
