Life & Style and In Touch magazine?s article that Tom Cruise abandoned his daughter did not sit well with the star that he filed a $50 million lawsuit against the both of them! Tom filed the lawsuit back in October and now, after a few months, the magazines? owner Bauer Publishing Co. has fired back.
Bauer filed their response to Tom?s lawsuit at the U.S. District Court in California on Friday. In their papers, the company asserted that they are not liable for damages because what their magazines printed was ?substantially true.?
Bauer also claims that Tom did not suffer any compensable damage due to the ?actionable statement published by the Bauer Defendants? and that he is ?a public figure and the Bauer Defendants did not act with actual malice.?
In addition, Bauer also cited a several grounds for their claims like the First, Fifth and 14th amendments of the U.S. Constitution including Article 1, Section 7 of the California Constitution.
Well, since Bauer Publishing Co. is denying any liability, I think this will be a start of a bloody and drawn-out court battle. I?m sure Tom won?t back down on his claim otherwise he?ll be called a liar.
