3. As the article details, the British tabloids were notoriously abusive

See below. I’ve seen Hugh Grant discussing a really weird instance involving him. At the height of his rom-com fame he came home to find a stalker in his apartment. He called the police. The tabloid paparazzi and reporters arrived before the police got there. The tabloids paid sources in the police force.


Several other high-profile figures have settled their cases against NGN, with 39 people settling claims between July and December last year.

In April, the High Court heard that the actor Hugh Grant had settled his case against NGN because of the risk of a £10m legal bill if his case went to trial.

Sherborne said at that hearing that “the Duke of Sussex is subject to the same issues that Sienna Miller and Hugh Grant have been subject to, which is that the offers are made that make it impossible for them to go ahead”.
