Maybe they ran short of goats
NEW Idea has denied rumors it has come under legal fire over a controversial story about the Duchess of York allegedly playing the part of an escort.
A source yesterday believed the gossip mag, which has climbed back up the ranks under the leadership of former OK! editor Kim Wilson, may have been served with a defamation claim after falsely reporting Sarah Ferguson once accepted a suitcase filled with $530,000 to accompany two Arab oil tycoons aboard a luxury yacht.
The yarn followed Fergie's News of the World sting and her bumbling Oprah interview.
"New Idea have stated any reports of Fergie engaging legal action against the magazine are absolutely untrue," a statement issued yesterday read. |
