Winslet vs Daily Mail: Weight loss libel trial

Back in 2009, in a pre-Instagram world, Oscar-winner Kate Winslet took Associated Newspapers to court over an article published in the Daily Mail that claimed she was lying about her exercise regime. Why was it so important to her to set the record straight? Why did the Daily Mail even go there when they knew she had already won a similar case against Grazia magazine? Jackie is joined by barrister Grace Rose Gwynne and lawyer Demelza Hassani to get the tea on it all.  Courtroom Drama contains dramatic reconstructions that have been created from court transcripts and have been condensed and edited for clarity.  Listeners of this podcast can receive 50% off a subscription to the Crime+Investigation Play app, where you can stream thousands of hours of unmissable true crime content, all ad free.
