Josh Hartnett plans to sue papers over “Hotel sex” issue

The Daily Mirror newspaper is facing legal action from Josh Hartnett for alleging he had a “sexual dalliance” in the library of a London hotel.

The actor, whose run in a West End production of Rain Main is about to begin, plans to seek damages for defamation over the tabloid’s story.

The Mirror had claimed the Pearl Harbor star was caught on CCTV having sex with a woman in the library of the Soho Hotel.

It also claimed hotel staff had seen the tryst and that the Hollywood star had received a verbal warning from hotel staff.

Hartnett’s legal team said the allegations were “not only untrue but a complete fabrication” but also “defamatory and unsubstantiated”.

Hartnett called the story “rubbish” and said that the British newspapers come out with anything. He adds on saying that in the States at least they have to make a call to a representative and try to make a reality out of the situation and over here they just make things up. -(SAMPURN)
