Hollywood
stars, Mila Kunis and Aston Kutcher have sued Daily Mail publisher
Associated Newspapers in
the UK’s high court over two articles about their baby daughter.
The
couple are angry about news stories on the Mail Online site which they say
featured “wrongful
publication of paparazzi photographs of family outings”, according
to a statement released.
Their
lawsuit also cites the allegation that the stories were used to “promote clothing products by
the Mail”.
The
statement reads: “Ashton
and Mila understandably value their private and family life, and in particular
their personal time with their daughter. Like any other family they should be
allowed to enjoy family outings without being pursued by photographers. They
have made it clear that they do not agree to the publication of photographs of
such occasions.”
According
to BBC, the lawsuit alleges "misuse of private information and breaches of
the Data Protection Act".
Mail
Online routinely posts paparazzi shots of famous and not-so-famous people
accompanied by fashion boxouts inviting their readers to purchase items of
clothing similar or identical to those worn by celebrities. Two pieces about
Kunis and Kutcher remain visible online, from June and July.
The
couple, whose daughter, Wyatt was born in October, become the latest
powerful Hollywood figures to take on the Mail.
