Katie Holmes Sues 'Star' Magazine for $50 Million


Katie Holmes just filed a hefty lawsuit against Star magazine over a recent cover that insinuated that she's a drug addict, reports TMZ. The actress seeks $50 million in damages from American Media Inc. over the cover headline, which reads: "ADDICTION NIGHTMARE - Katie DRUG SHOCKER! – The Real Reason She Can’t Leave Tom"
The actual article doesn't allege that Katie uses drugs, but the actress claims the cover wording is enough to be deliberately defamatory and libelous in itself.

The actress' rep told TMZ: "Star magazine's malicious claims about Katie are untrue, unethical and unlawful.  Not only do they cruelly defame Katie, they play a cheap trick on the public, making ridiculously false claims on the cover unsupported by anything inside."

The rep also said: "Someone should bring a class action to get all buyers their money back."
