Kate Winslet wins $40,000 in lawsuit against Daily Mail

Kate Winslet

Kate Winslet is serious about positive body image—and her crusade is aimed at more than just the impressionable young women of the world. The actress has won $40,000 from the Daily Mail, which reported in January that Winslet lied when she said she was taking a break from exercising during the awards season, People reports. "I strongly believe that women should be encouraged to accept themselves as they are, so to suggest that I was lying was an unacceptable accusation of hypocrisy," Winslet said in a statement. “I felt that I had a responsibility to request an apology in order to demonstrate my commitment to the views that I have always expressed about body issues, including diet and exercise," says the 33-year-old mother of two.

Her win was against Daily Mail, my big win once was against the Justice Department in Brisbane, Australia. They refused to pay me witness and travel expenses after a subpoena went astray in the mail while I toured Melbourne. The cashier started making statements calling me mad and that I
should be locked up in a mental hospital while refusing to pay me. He did
admit there was a subpoena and even showed me a copy and the copy of the
plane ticket and the expenses cheque. I took the matter to the Small Debts
Court but nobody believed me that I would win against the Government. They were all wrong because a special summons was issued, if they don't
pay in fourteen days, the matter would go to a magistrate. I was paid my expense money in full plus court costs within ten days. 5/11/2009.
