Rebel Wilson has won her high-profile defamation trial against  Bauer Media

“A huge media organisation, Bauer Media Group, maliciously took me down in May 2015, with a series of grubby and completely false articles. Far too often I feel the tabloid magazines and the journalists who work for them don't abide by professional ethics. Far too often I feel their conduct can only be described as disgusting and as disgraceful. I am glad, very glad, that the jury has agreed with me. And by the unanimous overwhelming verdict, they have sent a very very clear message. I REALLY love my job, as an actress and as an entertainer, and now I just look forward to rebuilding my career, now that the record is being set straight. I’d really like to thank my family and friends, my legal team, over here, and everyone who has supported me, through the ordeal. I so appreciate the support. It’s been very very tough, to fight this huge company, but I have done it, and I am grateful it is all over. So thank you so much to everybody.” ~ Rebel Wilson.

Background:

Rebel Wilson has won her high-profile defamation trial against  Bauer Media, which published articles saying she lied about her real name, age and childhood.

The jury of six women deliberated for two days over their  verdict, in which they were asked to consider 40 questions and eight magazine articles published in Woman's Day, Australian Women's Weekly, NW and OK magazine.

The jury found all eight articles defamed Wilson.

The identity of the source, who was paid around £1,200, was not revealed to the court, but Wilson told the jury she believed it was a former classmate who was jealous of her success. Bauer Media denied the articles had damaged Wilson's reputation and argued they were based in fact.

Celebrities vs Bauer Media past legal cases:

Bauer Media previous tussle with Tom Cruise. Cruise initially sued Bauer Media Group for $50 million back in October 2012 after one of its magazines, Life & Style, claimed the had "abandoned" Suri, his then 7-year-old daughter with ex-wife Katie Holmes.The publishing group released this statement after the Hollywood heavyhitter dropped the lawsuit: “Tom Cruise’s lawsuit against Bauer Publishing, In Touch and Life & Style magazines has been settled. The terms of the settlement were not disclosed and remain confidential. Bauer Publishing, as well as In Touch and Life & Style magazines, never intended to communicate that Tom Cruise had cut off all ties and abandoned his daughter, Suri, and regret if anyone drew that inference from anything they published.”

Bauer Media vs Blake Shelton. The country singer accepted a settlement in his lawsuit against a tabloid magazine.The Oklahoma-born superstar sued In Touch in October 2015 over its cover story, "REHAB For Blake." The magazine's publisher has settled, after failing to get a judge to throw out the case. Shelton originally asked for $2 million in actual damages, plus punitive damages, from Bauer Publishing Co. and related companies involved with the weekly magazine.The story came out in September 2015. It said he had hit rock bottom — that his alcohol consumption had skyrocketed after his split from wife Miranda Lambert. The story said he had been seen in August 2015, a month after the divorce, hooking up with strangers, partying with strippers and drinking shots of tequila nonstop in Cancun, Mexico.

"I think that Blake Shelton accomplished his purpose,"

Los Angeles attorney Larry Stein said.

"It is an economic proposition for these publications. Unless people take them to task, they will continue to publish information without adequate research and basis,"

the attorney said.

"At some point, you just have to make the decision that you're just not going to take it any longer. ... That's what finally happened with Blake."

“When it comes to feuds, celebrities versus tabloids is all-too-common - stars routinely talk about how they're disgusted by tabloid rumours. Of course, it's all a delicate balancing act, because those same famous folks will often rely on celebrity weeklies to boost their profile.

So there's often an interesting dynamic at play, where the celebrities pretend not to acknowledge that tabloid coverage fuels their fame and, as a result, don't make it a common practice to call out a specific publication unless it's a truly egregious claim. Sometimes they'll allude to a rumour that they want to smack down (Taylor Swift: "As my 25th birthday present from the media, I'd like for you to stop accusing all my friends of dating me."), but it's rare to see a celebrity and a tabloid go head to head.

So why is Garner taking the unusual step of speaking up? Usually when a celebrity goes after a specific tabloid, it's because they're suing them (like Blake Shelton did, when In Touch Weekly said he had a drinking problem) or genuinely furious (like George Clooney, when the Daily Mail made some dangerous claims about his fiancee).

#Questions to ponder:

How many celebrities bothered to take legal actions or use their own social media to address these tabloids? How many succeeded? What fueled these tabloids’ success to empower them to create sources, lies and stories? They are actors and entertainers, their WORK are supposed to entertain you not their private lives, reputation and brand. Sad to say many people who read the tabloids, or news like celebrities suing tabloids above still find the entertainment value in itself. They are already commoditized for our entertainment purpose.

I am a bit new so my opinion isn't 100% firm about harry and Louis relationship yet and the biggest thing that makes me ??? is that I don't understand how it is possible that there is such a difference between their situation.. do you have any idea why Harry is able to seems detach from all the mess and not Louis? How is that possible? That one seems incredibly stuck in the worst stunts ever and the other one is pursuing his career free of all of that? Thank you :)

Hi anon,

Sorry– I forgot about this ask for a few days.

I guess your question might have been prompted by Harry’s appearance in NYC last week, with Jeff Azoff. He was rumored to be meeting with Columbia records re: his solo album.

The next day, The Daily Mail in the U.K. published an article stating as much, contrasting Harry’s beatific airport pap photos (and photos with stalkers) to Louis’s disastrous LAX arrest. Unsubstantiated slander of “woman-hitting,” emotionally volatile Louis was reiterated in this article. He was again painted as an unreliable father. All stories we’ve read before from U.K. tabloids associated with the Bauer Group, with ties to Simon Cowell.

Read more about this connection here: http://bulletproofhalo.tumblr.com/post/158537313651/our-old-friend-bauer-media-group

I guess my line of answering is:

Harry hasn’t done anything to encourage this line of thinking. He literally has not given any statement on it. He has not given a statement about his solo album, either. It’s not because he is being coy–because he clearly is getting some blowback from fans about why he hasn’t said anything. Fans are curious and impatient. His image has suffered too.

And making a public statement, in the general public’s eyes, would only improve his image and increase his visibility. It benefits Harry to make a statement.

So why hasn’t he?

Why haven’t his managers at Full Stop? Why don’t they address industry rumors? Why are there so many leaks coming from Sony, including statements by Rob Stringer, while Harry’s team has said nothing? What is Sony’s objective in publicizing Harry if Harry does not confirm?

Alternatively, why has Louis’s team said nothing to refute his public image?

These allegations are clearly slanderous. Louis has not been tried in a court of law. No one has given sworn testimony. His arraignment date has not come to pass. Emotional states are purely speculative. No official statements have come from anyone quoted in the article. His image has suffered from false allegations (U.K. And U.S.A.).

So where is his team?

And, why are these two always tied? If they have been enemies for three or four years, why keep writing articles linking them?

They’ve been on hiatus for 15 months. If they really disliked each other so much, they should already have deleted each other from phone contacts, SM, etc. Why keep in touch with your enemy? I don’t store the contact information of people who hate me, anon, do you?

Their airport sightings literally HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH EACH OTHER. They aren’t even on the same side of the country. What is the purpose of linking them?

If I knew nothing about One Direction, I would experience a cognitive dissonance from the way the article swerved so awkwardly from “angelic Harry” to “devilish Louis.” The purpose seems so transparent, it’s embarrassing.

Except for one glaring fact.

They DON’T hate each other.

The band united to support Louis during his X Factor performance.

They came together as one band to accept their Brits for best video 2016. @srslycris and @lawyerlarriehave great posts about this.

They tweeted in unity to wish Harry a happy 23rd birthday.

As Harry’s has said, “Draw what you see.”

1. There are restrictions on their public statements. 2. The images are being manipulated. 3. Their relationship with each other is good. 4. None of the four remaining 1D band members have been allowed to be specific about their solo projects. 5. Louis has been photographed to write with songwriters from Warner Chapel. He may very well have a solo album in the works. They are all working hard.6. They are fighting a silent, bts, very ugly and drawn-out fight. 7. Recording labels have a history of screwing artists over.

Believe in our boys. They are the same good people you fell in love with. They haven’t suddenly been blinded by fame. They want to make music for us, and they have been working toward that. Every event and every article doesn’t need to be dissected for whether Harry is defending Louis. Trust them.

The people manipulating their image want us to have doubts, to fight within the fandom. Not only that, they are trying to divide the band members themselves. For years, the boys have had psychological manipulation in the guise of “protecting the 1D brand,” down to the way they move, talk, dress, look at each other, answer certain questions. Zayn’s recent article in NY Times Sunday stated he had anxiety when he was in 1D. He had an eating disorder because he wanted “to have control over one thing.” Is that really a surprise?

It’s infuriating, what’s happening to Louis right now. But it’s temporary. It’s going to end. This abuse has an end clause. Art is long– Louis is young and he’s going to fight it, with the support of his boys.

Sorry I went off in such a tangent, but I wish we could see past these media games, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

Let’s be smart in evaluating the data, and not be so easily manipulated.

Bauer Media's exclusive pics of Harry and a 1 Direction feature in 2014 - June 4 and July 8

[cat7369]

Bauer Media's magazines Heat and Closer hardly ever feature male celebs on their cover, unless they were part of a couple/marriage scandal.

Seems like an exception was made for Simon, who was featured on 6 covers in 2014, including this one on February 27 2014

Looking back at Cosmic - Bauer Media’s rare attempt at creating a British comic

Looking back at Cosmic – Bauer Media’s rare attempt at creating a British comic

Comics archivist Richard Sheaf is a master at unearthing obscure, short run British comics, but Cosmic, one of his latest finds, is intriguing for all sorts of reasons – not least because it was published by major magazine publisher Bauer Media. Perhaps best known for publishing titles such as Women’s Weekly and magazines that include Take A Break, which has long been the UK’s best-selling…
