NAMES IN THE NEWS : Marla Maples’ Kin Sue Tabloid
Marla Maples’ mother and aunt are suing the National Enquirer, saying the supermarket tabloid published unauthorized photographs of the model who was romantically linked with businessman Donald Trump.
The lawsuit, filed Thursday in U.S. District Court, seeks unspecified damages from the Lantana, Fla., paper.
Maples’ mother, Ann Ogletree, of Dalton, and aunt, Pat Locklear, of Cohutta, allege that the Enquirer published without their permission photographs taken by the two women.
The pictures show Trump with Maples and various members of her family. They were published May 1 under the headline, “Caught! Trump and His Mistress. World Exclusive Amazing Photos That Could Cost him $Billions.”
The Enquirer has also been sued by Maples’ father, who said in an unrelated suit that the newspaper falsely claimed to have interviewed him.
