British newspaper The Daily Telegraph has paid “substantial damages” to Melania Trump and apologised “unreservedly” to the US first lady after making a number of false claims about her life in an article.
The piece promised to tell the truth on what it described as the “most private and enigmatic” of presidential wives after interviews with “White House insiders, Slovenian school friends and photographers”.
The newspaper said in a statement retracting the piece: “Mrs Trump’s father was not a fearsome presence and did not control the family. Mrs Trump did not leave her design and architecture course at university relating to the completion of an exam, as alleged in the article, but rather because she wanted to pursue a successful career as a professional model. Mrs Trump was not struggling in her modelling career before she met Mr Trump, and she did not advance in her career due to the assistance of Mr Trump.
“We accept that Mrs Trump was a successful professional model in her own right before she met her husband and obtained her own modelling work without his assistance. Mrs Trump met Mr Trump in 1998, not in 1996 as stated in the article. The article also wrongly claimed that Mrs Trump’s mother, father and sister relocated to New York in 2005 to live in buildings owned by Mr Trump. They did not. The claim that Mrs Trump cried on election night is also false.
“We apologise unreservedly to the first lady and her family for any embarrassment caused by our publication of these allegations. As a mark of our regret we have agreed to pay Mrs Trump substantial damages as well as her legal costs.”

ping!
Ka-CHING!
Mess with the bull, feel the horn. They better leave the First Lady alone
“As a mark of our regret we have agreed to pay Mrs Trump substantial damages as well as her legal costs.”
Seriously, if they had regret, they’d have retracted the article and apologized before any lawyers got involved. This isn’t an apology, it’s a settlement. A forced settlement. They’re still bastards.
I like it. Think of what fashion innovation we have to look forward to seeing now.
I think Melania is an artist, grew up with a seamstress mother and has the eye for clothes. Maybe she will design her own line with this investment.
Whatever she does will be successful.
Looking forward to a similar statement regarding Covington kids.
Not no more.
#TrumpsDontPlayThat
Let us know when a US “news” source reports this. May have, not looking, and not wasting my time.
What was the amount of the payday?
Inquirer minds need to know...
Watch her donate it to charity.
CNN and MSNBC will soon be coughing up loads of cash and apologies for what they did to the Covington high school kids.
I want her to donate it to BUILD THE WALL. And make a BIG FRICKIN’ SHOW OF IT.
And send the photos to Nancy.
Have you emailed her?
If not, you should :)
Isn’t FR a charity, in some fashion...legally?
It’s all good. FLOTUS got LOTS of money for this plus an apology. We have bigger fish to fry.
Yes but a forced public apology and grudging payout will hurt worse, kinda like have your heart cut out with a spoon.
:)
She is a1ready worth $500M
