Sienna Miller wins £35,000 damages from tabloids

Actress and papers agree to out-of-court settlement

Sienna Miller is single again

Sienna Miller has been awarded damages by two newspapers over claims they breached her privacy.

The actress will receive £35,000 from The Sun and News Of The World after suing them over ‘intrusive articles and photos’ published in June and July.

The stories appeared around the same time Sienna started dating Balthazar Getty, 33.

Tom Crone, News Group Newspapers' senior lawyer, admitted the papers were at fault. 

‘We acknowledge that, on the specific facts and circumstances of this case, you had a reasonable expectation of privacy in respect of the information and the photographs that we published in The Sun and the News Of The World,’ he said in a statement.

‘We also accept that we should not have published such information or such photographs.’

In September, Sienna, 26, who is now single, was awarded £15,000 damages from the Daily Star over the publication of paparazzi snaps.

Meanwhile, her lawyer Mark Thomson has confirmed she is still pursuing claims against photo agency Big Pictures.
