Charlotte Church Wins Libel Settlement from UK’s People

UK People paid singer Charlotte Church libel damages and her court fees for its 2011 fake story that she drunkenly proposed to her boyfriend at karaoke bar, the UK Telegraph reported.

People is a weekly Mirror Group Newspapers newspaper with a circulation of about 800,000, according to Mondo Times.

The article, as we have written, contained fake quotes from Church and her boyfriend, and Church sued for defamation shortly after the article’s November publication.  Further, as the Press Association noted, Church and her boyfriend weren’t at the bar the night People reported.
