Madonna is suing UK tabloid “Mail On Sunday” for £5million for publishing private photos from her 2000 wedding to Guy Ritchie.
A British court has ruled in favour of Madonna but is still deciding the final amount to be paid out to her.
Madonna & Guy Ritchie were married on December 22, 2000 at an extravagant but private ceremony at Skibo castle in the Scottish Highlands. The wedding was attended by stars such as close pals, Gwyneth Paltrow, Sting and Stella McCartney.
Security surrounded the event to ensure its secrecy and no pictures were ever publicly sighted until October 19 this year when Madonna & Guy Ritchie happened to announce their divorce. On the same day, The “Mail on Sunday” published a “world excusive” in a double page spread of images from their wedding.
The photos were taken by renowned photographer Jean Baptiste Mondino but allegedly leaked to the “Mail on Sunday” by one of her interior designers who secretly photographed the photos directly from a wedding album at her home.
Madonna is asking for £5 million and any damages received, Madonna isn’t actually going to keep for herself but plans to donate to her charitable foundation that she set up to help Aids orphans in Malawi, where her adopted son David Banda was born.
The “Mail On Sunday” however, feels Madonna’s asking price of £5 million is way too high considering they paid just $5000 for the shots.
The courts will decide shortly and no doubt Madonna will get what she wants.
Understandably in this case.
