Caprice has launched a $150,000 legal battle for libel damages over stories in The Sun and on the paper's website. Caprice claims that a front-page story, which continued on two inside pages, headed
Caprice in Clinic and
Caprice latest to check into Priory, was defamatory. She is also suing over a story the following day, headed
It's Caprice on the piste and
Model quits rehab to ski.
The supermodel complains that her personal and professional reputations have been severely damaged by the stories, which have caused her huge distress and embarrassment. She fears that unless the court grants an injunction, publisher News Group International will repeat the allegations about her. Now she is seeking damages for libel and an injunction banning repetition of the allegations at the center of her claim.
