UK’s Telegraph Apologizes For Fake News About Melania Trump

Telegraph-

Following last Saturday’s (Jan 19) Telegraph magazine cover story “The mystery of Melania”, we have been asked to make clear that the article contained a number of false statements which we accept should not have been published. 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.

  1. “As a mark of our regret we have agreed to pay Mrs Trump substantial damages as well as her legal costs.”

    Uh, it’s called a “settlement”. As opposed to having your company severely crippled by a court proceeding. I would enjoy reading the letter sent by her attorneys.

  2. Just a year or so ago, the UKDailymail claimed she worked as a pro–and that filthy rag had to pay her a settlement, too. All of those muslims living in England seem to be having a negative effect on natives’ ability to think.

  3. Thirdtwin — I wondered at that just the other day while I was looking up info on The Museum of the Bible that just opened a year ago a few blocks away from the “self-indulgent journalistic shrine.” Funny coincidence.

  4. This from the same gaggle of people that said linebacker Michael Obama was soooo beautiful and plastered her airbrushed body/face on tons of magazines around the world.
    Didn’t she have 22 assistances, it’s not easy putting that much duct tape on.

  5. Although they were forced into printing a retraction, the left will continue to cite the original article as gospel.

    Just curious; is the author(s) of the original article still employed?

  6. London, or British Tabloids are a mental health hazard. I guess I do not know how an English brain works to uderstand what the public seens in these rags. The make the National Enquirer look like a Pulitzer Prize publication. I don’t but it, either
