Hollywood actor Bradley Cooper may be giving premium importance to the recent advice of her mother not to get seriously involved with Russian model and actress Irina Shayk.
So when the French publication Oops! magazine run a story late in May saying that the 40-year-old actor is dating Irina Shayk that also included pictures of the “American Hustle” actor passionately kissing the Russian model in New York City recently, Cooper decided to make a legal matter out of it by suing the publication for libel.
The story came out in the May 28 issue of Oops! magazine with the headline ‘L’amour au grand jour,’ which is translated in English as ‘Love out in the open.’
In his legal suit filed in a French court a few days ago, Cooper claimed that he has never publicly spoke about dating Irina Shayk or that the two of them are in a relationship and thus the story run by Oops! is an intrusion into his private life, notes Philly.com. The Oscar-nominated actor is suing the French publication for 11,000 Euros or about $12,500.
Old news
In defense of their cause, the editors of Oops! explained that the issue about Bradley Cooper and Irina Shayk dating has been published by other news publication or sites in the internet already so they are surprised why the actor is taking a beef against only them and not on the ones who ran the story first.
They also said that the story about the budding romance between Cooper and Shayk was actually based on the photos of the pair which had already been published in Spain and all across the US.
Atty. Vincent Toledano, is representing the actor in the French court. He is the same lawyer who is representing actor Leonardo DiCaprio in filing another lawsuit with the editors of Oops! magazine last week. Apparently, the actor is seeking damages amounting to $28,800 against the French publication for running a story alleging that he has impregnated pop singer Rihanna and that the actor wanted nothing to do with the baby. In his suit, the actor claimed that the magazine published something which was based on pure fantasy.
Mom knows it best
Gloria Campano, the mother of Bradley Cooper, is not in favor of his son dating Irina Shayk. Although she has not personally met or got acquainted with the Russian model and actress, Gloria is making the opinion because her son is just fresh from his breakup with English model Suki Waterhouse just a couple of months ago after two years of dating.
The mother in Gloria believes that the supposed relationship between Bradley and Irina will not have legs to stand on because it would seem that her son was able to move on quite quickly from one serious relationship.
There were reports that Bradley was already thinking of settling down with Suki but when the subject of marriage and children were brought out, he just freaked out and broke up the relationship.
