Sienna Miller sues tabloids

Marie Claire celebrity news: Sienna Miller and Keira Knightley, Edge of Love Rex Features

Sienna Miller has taken legal action against The Sun, The News of the World and photo agency Big Pictures, over those infamous photos taken of her on holiday with Balthazar Getty.

The Edge of Love star was photographed while holidaying with Getty in Italy. Both papers printed snaps of the star topless, and kissing Getty while aboard a yacht.

Now she is suing both publications and the agency, citing a breach of privacy.

This is not the first time Miller has been embroiled in legal wranglings with the two tabloids. She won a £37,500 payout after both published nude images of her from a movie set.

The actress's law firm Carter- Ruck has confirmed that proceedings have been started.

I understand it must be hard to be followed around by the press all the time, but although it cant be pleasant, surely Sienna must understand that press attention and invasion of privacy is almost guaranteed in her line of work.
It annoys me that she'll probably sue and win a lot of money. Many people (like myself) have been victims of crime, and struggle to win adequate compensation for crimes committed against them, yet celebs receive money for being photographed, which I see as part of their job.

She's annoying, the guy is married for crying out loud! What is she suing the papers for? She was there topless for all to see, she knows she gets followed by papparazzi. She needs to get a life.

She's only famous for the men she sleeps with...

She is only famous for her publicity, not for her acting abilities. If she wants that to change, there should be some thought about what she does in the public eye. Even if photographers weren't there to take snaps, she is in full view of others.

Whilst we cannot comment on what happens behind closed doors regarding the state of his marriage, no one really knows what happens between closed doors, she cannot be upset if she wants to parade in public naked and kissing her current beau. Whether he be single, married, seperated, rich or poor.

She doesn't deserve to receive a payout as she is on a boat outside. If she wanted no one to see, she should have covered up and kept her lips to herself!

Oh come on, just because she's a celebrity, it doesn't mean that she gave up all rights to privacy. Did she sign a contract somewhere saying anyone's allowed to snap her on holiday? If someone snapped a pic of you drunk and published them in the papers labeling it "classic example of teenagers getting drunk and posing a problem to society" are you gonna sit back and say "oh well, my bad for getting drunk in public"?
Obviously stars aren't gonna sue for good publicity, it's common sense, but it's equally common sense they're going to try and protect their integrity so when are the tabloids gonna learn not to push the wrong buttons?
After all - she's just a star, not the cause of global warming, so exercise some discretion, sheesh!

This serial minx deserves absolutely nothing in terms in of a payout from the tabloids! She seems intent on inviting press coverage of her latest romance, only to claim invasion of privacy by the press, when the journalists turn on her. She has trumped herself this time by snaring the married co-star of her last boyfriend. Isn't it time she focused on doing something useful like improving her frankly rubbish acting technique!

Being snapped when nude on a closed film set is one thing - flirting topless with a married man on a yacht for all to see is another. I doubt her current law suit will be successful.

What she probably doesn't like is that she's not admired for her trashy behaviour. Her morals (and maybe motive?) have been exposed and she doesn't like it.

She lives on publicity so she should expect it...if she was not being snapped, then she would be lost....
Comment by sue dixon on July 24 13:21

Does Sienna Miller encourage the newspapers to take photos of her and then sue them for a nice steady income...or am i just being cynical?
Comment by mags on July 24 12:20

She should not pose naked if she did not want anyone to see her, she cannot fail to notice there would be someone with a camera.
Comment by Chanella on July 24 12:14

Oh come on!!! This woman is the greatest self-publicist since Victoria Beckham - famous for nothing but her tabloid snaps. What on earth is she trying to achieve? Maybe she should have thought a bit more about what she was doing before jumping into a relationship with a married man? Just a thought.
