How to handle a media scandal
Claims about David Beckham's text life have
seen the England captain and his wife, Victoria,
become the focus of more tabloid inches than
even they are used to. What options do
celebrities have when a media storm breaks?
In the past week, the Beckhams have been the
subject of hundreds of newspaper and magazine
articles - few of which will have made comfortable
reading for the couple.
The pair has dismissed the allegations as
"ludicrous" and "absurd". But the headlines continue,
with no sign of a let-up.
So what options are open to celebrities who find
themselves the unwanted focus of media gossip?
A Smile for the cameras
Along with instructing their lawyers, this seems to be the tactic most favoured by
the Beckhams. The couple has been seen frolicking in the snow at an exclusive
French ski resort, leaving a London restaurant hand in hand, larking about at
Buckingham Palace, and out and about in Madrid. But the strategy has come at a
price, with every facial expression scrutinized for hidden meanings.
B Hire some lawyers
Following nine days of stories about the Beckhams' marriage, the press were told:
"Lawyers have been instructed by David and Victoria
concerning these matters."
But papers have continued to print allegations, and
the News of the World says: "We stand by our
reports 100%."
Although court action is expensive, and damages
don't always cover costs, there are many precedents
of wronged celebrities winning victories over the
press.
Lawyers for Catherine Zeta Jones and Michael
Douglas won damages from Hello! magazine for publishing paparazzi photos of
their wedding day.
