Actress Elizabeth Hurley has made a shocking accusation against the Daily Mail publisher, DMG Media, alleging that they had installed a listening device on her windowsill in her London home. This is the latest development in her long-standing feud with the British tabloid.
The Allegations
Hurley made the claims in a statement to the High Court, alleging that the device was installed by a private investigator hired by the Daily Mail. She claimed that the device was found on her windowsill by a member of her staff, who became suspicious of the object and brought it to her attention.
Hurley's lawyer, Harbans Deol, said in a statement that the actress was "deeply disturbed" by the alleged bugging of her home and had decided to take action against DMG Media. Deol added that Hurley was seeking an injunction to prevent the Daily Mail from publishing any further articles about her personal life.
The Feud Between Hurley and the Daily Mail
Hurley has been a vocal critic of the Daily Mail's reporting on her personal life, accusing the tabloid of invading her privacy and spreading false rumors about her. In 2020, she took out a super injunction to prevent the Daily Mail from publishing a story about her alleged affair with a married man.
The Daily Mail has been criticized for its treatment of Hurley in the past, with many accusing the tabloid of sexism and misogyny. The newspaper has been accused of publishing intrusive and salacious stories about Hurley's personal life, including reports about her relationships and her family.
The Reaction
The Daily Mail has refused to comment on Hurley's allegations, but a spokesperson for DMG Media said that the company would "vigorously" defend itself against any claims of wrongdoing. The Metropolitan Police have also been informed of the alleged bugging and are investigating the matter.
Hurley's fans and supporters have taken to social media to express their support for the actress, with many calling for the Daily Mail to be held accountable for its reporting on her personal life. The hashtag #JusticeForLiz has been trending on Twitter, with many users sharing messages of support for Hurley.
Hurley's case against DMG Media is set to be heard in court in the coming weeks. The outcome of the case will be closely watched by fans and supporters of the actress, who are eager to see justice served.
