Brooke Settles With Tabloid for 'Momnapping'

National Enquirer will publicly apologize

Share

(Newser) – Brooke Shields has settled with the National Enquirer after two tabloid journalists reportedly signed her mother out of her New Jersey nursing home last month, reports People. The tabloid has agreed not to publish the story, will publicly apologize, and will donate money to research on dementia, a condition from which Teri Shields suffers. "The idea that the National Enquirer took advantage of her state is reprehensible and disgusting," said Brooke.

Don't try to reply to this guy. I have NEVER seen him do a followup. He generally copies and pastes sections from his website here, and then he's gone. .................. Trying to use his words as the basis for a meaningful discussion is like trying to strike up a conversation with a car when it says, "Door ajar."
