Keira Knightley Sues Over Illness Claim
Actress Keira Knightley has begun legal action against a newspaper publisher over suggestions she has lied about having an eating disorder.
The Daily Mail published a photograph of the 21-year-old on a beach, with remarks about her weight, in an article about a girl who had died of anorexia.
Ms Knightley claims the article implies she has been dishonest in denying having any such problems.
She rose to fame in films Bend It Like Beckham and Pirates of the Caribbean.
In a statement via her lawyers, Ms Knightley said she would also challenge the suggestion that she is responsible and to blame for the tragic death of the teenage girl by setting a bad example.
