Sadie Frost Condemns Daily Mail for Targeting Her Parents, Court Reveals
Sadie Frost has publicly condemned the Daily Mail for targeting her family. This revelation came during a court trial where she expressed her outrage at the actions of the tabloid. Frost shared distressing details about her unwell father being contacted while hospitalized and her mother being doorstepped at home.
Emotional Testimony of Sadie Frost
During her testimony, Frost became emotional as she recounted a painful incident from 2002. At that time, her two-year-old daughter, Iris, discovered an ecstasy tablet in Soho. She described feeling isolated and distressed, trying to be the best mother possible.
Frost claimed that some articles about her were obtained through unlawful information gathering by Associated Newspapers Limited (ANL). In total, she is contesting 11 articles that allegedly sourced information through illicit means.
Legal Action Against ANL
The 60-year-old actress is part of a broader legal action that includes notable figures like Prince Harry and Sir Elton John. This group is accusing ANL of voicemail hacking and illegally obtaining private records. Frost stated that certain articles could only have originated from hacked voicemails, emphasizing, “I know that 100 percent.”
Impact on Family Dynamics
Frost described the emotional toll that media scrutiny had on her relationship with her ex-husband, Jude Law. She expressed how the suspicion that she was leaking stories damaged their bond and made co-parenting challenging. “To have the man you love think you’re leaking stories is awful,” she remarked.
Disturbing Revelations About Privacy Violations
- Frost’s medical records were allegedly accessed without her consent.
- In a draft article, journalist Katie Nicholl included intimate details about Frost’s personal life.
- Frost had an ectopic pregnancy in 2003, which was known only to her close friends.
Frost stated she was “mortified” to learn that her landline had been monitored, highlighting its importance as a communication lifeline. During the trial, she expressed her dismay at the violation of her privacy, stating, “The stories they wrote violated me, my friends and family.”
Responses in Court
Throughout the trial, which is set to conclude in March, Frost has shown emotional vulnerability. Her testimony is part of a larger narrative where others, including the Duke of Sussex, have also shared their trauma caused by media intrusion.
As the legal proceedings continue, ANL has denied any wrongdoing, asserting their defense against the claims. The outcome of this trial will likely have significant implications for all involved.
