Andre wins damages from Now
By CMU Editorial | Published on Wednesday 11 November 2009
Peter Andre has won “substantial” damages off IPC-published Now magazine over allegations it made against the reality-TV-come-pop star back in July.
The magazine questioned Andre’s parenting skills, alleging that his ex-wife Katie Price’s disabled son Harvey had suffered as a result of two accidents while in the pop man’s care. It also alleged that Andre forced Price into have “sick sexual threesomes”.
Andre said all the allegations were untrue, and sued for libel. A judge yesterday ruled in Andre’s favour, leading to a cash settlement believed to be in the region of £300,000.
Commenting on the allegations, Andre said: “The worst thing anyone can challenge is my parenting skills. Challenge me on anything, but not on that. One of the greatest responsibilities I have is as a parent. I take my responsibilities very seriously. I would not do anything to hurt my kids”.
