Magazine to pay Julie Gayet over Hollande affair report

March 28, 2014 00:15

A French court has ordered Closer magazine to pay Julie Gayet 15,000 euros (12,000) over a breach of privacy for revealing her affair with President Francois Hollande. The magazine published photographs of Mr Hollande and Ms Gayet arriving separately at an apartment in January.

The payout was far lower than the 50,000 euros the actress had sought. The Paris court ordered the magazine to publish the ruling on the front page of its next edition.

Closer caused a political storm in France on 10 January when it published images purporting to show Mr Hollande and Ms Gayet arriving at a Paris flat for alleged trysts. Although he refused to comment on the allegations, President Hollande announced that he had "put an end" to his "shared life" with long-term partner Valerie Trierweiler shortly afterwards.
