Kate Hudson has won a court case against the National Enquirer magazine after it published an article claiming she had an eating disorder.
The magazine said Hudson’s mom, Goldie Hawn, had told her to “eat something” and ran pictures showing Kate as “painfully thin”.
The magazine’s lawyers have admitted the article was inaccurate and will pay out damages to the ‘Almost Famous’ star for the distress it caused her.
"The allegations that I sued over were blatantly false - I could not stand by while such lies were being perpetrated about me," Kate said, adding she was happy and relieved that matter had been resolved.
The article was published with the headline: “Goldie tells Kate: Eat something! And she listens!”
And went on to claim: "Star confronts daughter after photos surface showing her painfully thin."
Kate’s lawyer, Simon Smith told London’s High Court: "Ms Hawn has explained to me that she never had any concerns about her daughter's appearance whatsoever," he said.
He also pointed out the magazine’s hypocrisy, saying it had published photos of the actress taken at around the same time and described her as "looking great" and "stunning".
Lawyer’s for American Media Inc, the magazine’s publishers have apologised to Kate for any distress and embarrassment caused.
