Martha Stewart v. National Enquirer
Jan 01, 1998OUTCOME: Settled.
Michael Roe represented author Randi Kreger ("Stop Walking on Eggshells") with respect to her involvement in TV's Marta Stewart's lawsuit. Martha Stewart and the National Enquirer have settled a $10 mi ... llion lawsuit over a tabloid article titled "Martha Stewart Is Mentally Ill." Stewart's federal lawsuit alleged libel and defamation of character over the Enquirer story published on Sept. 2, 1997, claiming Stewart "indulged in self-mutilation and threatened suicide." The tabloid also wrote that the good-taste maven "has frantic fears of being abandoned, a chronic sensation of feeling useless and empty, and a near-constant anger."
