Photos a ‘gut-wrenching’ experience
The 33-year-old and her 58-year-old husband, Michael Douglas, are suing Hello! for publishing unauthorised photographs in breach of their privacy, after they had done a $1m deal with OK magazine for exclusive pictures.
In a 12-page written statement prepared for the couple's High Court action against Hello! magazine, Mr Douglas described the bizarre lengths he and his wife have been forced to go to protect their privacy. "We take proactive steps to protect our family from intrusion, including shredding correspondence before putting it in the garbage, having our home regularly screened for possible bugging devices and, after Dylan was born, taking steps to prevent people scanning the airwaves to listen to our baby monitors."
