Singer-actress Jennifer Lopez and her salsa star husband Marc Anthony launched a chain of European libel actions on Tuesday against the National Enquirer over drug scandal allegations.
Belfast-based lawyer Paul Tweed, who specializes in fighting U.S. libel cases in European courts, said he had filed a lawsuit with the Belfast High Court on Tuesday and would be doing the same in other jurisdictions.
Lopez and Anthony are seeking “substantial damages,” a full retraction and an apology over an Enquirer article last month that alleged the couple were linked to a drug scandal after Anthony was pictured with a photographer later charged with heroin possession.
A spokesman for the National Enquirer said the company had no comment.
