Madonna won a case against a UK tabloid that published some of her wedding photos with the film director Guy Ritchie 8 years ago. Madonna filed a case against the said UK tabloid because they breached her privacy as well as copyright by publishing those photos without getting consent from her. The court sided with Madonna and it’s ironic that she won the case about her wedding photos that leaked just a few weeks after her divorce was granted.
When Madonna and Guy Ritchie got married in 2000, it was a beautiful ceremony but no photo from the wedding was ever published and after 8 years, last October 19, the UK tabloid Mail published 11 photos that Madonna said were stolen from her by her interior designer from California.
She estimated her damages to be about $7 million dollars but the Mail said they only paid over $7000 for those photos and paying $7 million dollars for them is just over the top but Madonna’s side believe those “exclusive” photos are billed that high. Although Madonna already won the case against the Mail UK tabloid but no decision has been made yet with regards to the compensation until next year.
Whatever amount of money Madonna will get from this case will be given to the Raising Malawi charity foundation which helps the orphans in Africa who lost their parents from AIDS.
