Expressen refuses to pay damages

Written by tevensso on April 11, 2003 to .

STOCKHOLM - Peter Danowsky, legal counselor for the Swedish tabloid newspaper Expressen, has now replied to Marie Fredriksson’s claim against the paper.

  The tabloid, writes the counselor, has not written that Marie is a criminal, or blameworthy. “Nor defamed, abusively treated or [subjected her to] any other outrageous treatment.”

  “Expressen doesn’t seem to have read my summons especially carefully,” Leif Silbersky, Marie’s lawyer, says to the competing newspaper Aftonbladet. “The grounds for my demands are that persons in Marie’s vicinity experienced Marie as untruthful,” Silbersky continues. “Marie got scared as well, and thought the doctors were deceiving her, while at the same time giving the truth to the media.”

  Silbersky also points out that Sjöberg [Expressen’s Editor-in-Chief] at first claimed that Expressen’s information was correct, and then suddenly turned around and admitted that it was wrong publishing it.

Hey Marie - tell Expressen to KISS YOUR ASS!!

They have to pay damages to Marie and pay for a psycotherapy to this editor in chief of this stupid tabloid. He’s not a normal person. I really feel nausea about this man. He’s so stupid....
Don’t care Marie we love you and we always will be by your side.
Lot’s of love from Brasil :D

Marie, we are with you!!

Actually it’s funny cause it’s a new wave going through stars to sue tabloids and I guess they should. I have so many nonsense stories on Enquirer or other cheap magazines about Oprah, Julia Roberts, Nicole Kidman and etc. Penelope Cruz is now suing a magazine in Australia and so are many other stars in different parts of the world.
Why would a journalist write bullshit?

when this comes to court i wanna be there and suport Marie.
courts are open for the public in sweden (mostly)

we fans should all be there

Watch out Expressen, finally you will have to “pay the price” for this impudence! I’m sure justice is on Marie’s side !

Nik

B*STARDS!
Dont they realise they are fighting a losing battle.
I just heard that Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones have won their court case with a tabloid.
Expressen dont think you are getting away with this!

Stay strong Marie!

Idiots..which such behaviour..they will have to pay even MORE! It’s one more insult to Marie! I hope they will have to pay SEVERAL MILLIONS...

Expressen SUCKS !!

Expressen people like it to hurt people, suckers. But Marie will trash them!

The interesting thing is:

Expressen’s back-peddling as FAST as they can. They KNOW they are in the wrong. They just don’t want to admit it publically because that would open the door for other lawsuits. Where the admitted that they were wrong in publishing, they feel they shouldn’t have to pay.

Someone needs to point out that people like Tom Cruise, Demi Moore, and others have won against tabloids here in the US. And the settlements THEY ask for are LARGER than what Ms. Fredriksson’s asked for. They should count themselves fortunate.

I know this rambled a bit. Sorry. Point being: Settle, before it costs MORE money than you’ve got.

i wish everybody would sue them and that they closed this damn newspaper.

I agree with you Judith .I hope Expressen will go in “konkurs”

he he They will pay !

marre

Go Marie, trash them!

Roxer forever

Hello everybody,

well, well, well ... our best friend Marie: don’t let them say such things !!!

And to this, I’d add: NO COMMENT because Expressen just want us to speak about them and sale some papers more (as if we didn’t have enough paper in our boxes every week ...)

Try to hang on, we all are with YOU.

BRUNO

To Fernanda:

No, he is not normal but jealous ...

To all the readers,

when i say “dont let them say such things”, i don’t speak about all the fans, but about the journalist of Expressen (but i hope you understood)

Have a nice day !

Brunorox is Back
