The lawsuit alleges misuse of private information and breaches of the Data Protection Act. The online edition of The Daily Mail routinely posts paparazzi shots of famous and not-so-famous people accompanied by fashion boxouts inviting their readers to purchase items of clothing similar or identical to those worn by celebrities. Two pieces about Kutcher and Kunis remain visible online, from June and July.
The suit against The Daily Mail is not the first time that the publication and its website have courted the ire of Hollywood. In July last year, Hollywood actor George Clooney called The Daily Mail as the worst kind of tabloid, after it ran a story on the mother of his wife Amal Alamuddin.
Angelina Jolie is also set to file the necessary legal action against the online edition of The Daily Mail for posting a video of her allegedly showing the actress under the influence of heroin.
On July 4, Ashton and Mila legally tied the knot in private ceremonies at the Secret Garden at Parrish Ranch in Oak Glen, California.
The event was one of the biggest secret weddings in showbiz as it was only attended by a select number of relatives, friends, and guests of the couple.
