Scarlett Is Threatening To Sue Us Weekly

Filed under: Media Minute > Knifestyles > Scarlett Johansson

Us Weekly reports that Scarlett Johansson has had plastic surgery, a claim the actress vehemently denies.

ScarJo is very upset and threatening legal action.

Her publicist tells competing mag, OK!:

"Us Weekly's [new] cover story regarding Scarlett Johansson and its clear implication that she has had plastic or cosmetic surgery on her nose is an outrageous and defamatory fabrication lacking any conceivable basis or proof, despite vehement denials by Ms. Johansson prior to publication. Not surprisingly, US magazine cannot provide the dates when she supposedly had this surgery, who performed the surgery, or what was supposedly done — all because there simply is no truth to the story. The publication made a pathetic attempt to validate its story by using two cover photos of Scarlett that were taken years apart with obviously different make-up and lighting, and then relying on an "expert’s opinion” (based solely on looking at the two photos) on what "might" have been done. It wasn't."

Johansson herself says, "I have always been straightforward with the press regarding my body image and I am very concerned that my fans (and perhaps even my employers) will feel mislead. Thus, I feel compelled to take immediate legal action against US Weekly."

Wow. That's one of the strongest-worded statements we've ever read.

Scarlett is pissed!

Good for her. Someone needs to sue the hell out of US weekly for all the shit it prints. Free media is one thing, but printing complete crap with no evidence to back it up is totally unacceptable. Loved the statement, best thing I've read for ages.

She's hot. They're just jealous.

42

she TOTALLY had a nosejob. It was when she was 15 or 16, but her nose is now defined, when it was very wide- that does NOT happen NATURALLY as people age.

she's full of SHIT.

So Scarlett refers to herself as "her" and "she" in the quote? Uh huh. Methinks it's more Perezinglish.

Scarlett is awesome. Who cares if she's had plastic surgery. They're just trying to make issues out of things because she can actually act. Also, her breasts are amazing. I wish mine were that lovely.

"Johansson herself says, “I have always been straightforward with the press regarding her body image and she is very concerned that her fans (and perhaps even my employers) will feel mislead. Thus, I feels compelled to take immediate legal action against Us Weekly.”

Interesting that she changes from the first person to the third and then back to the first. If this is an actual statement, I fear for her education and competence of the English language. (Ex, "I feels compelled…") Maybe instead of wasting her time denying claims about her image, she she work on her verbal skills. She has to face the fact that she is in the public eye and she will be talked about, from her acting skills to the shape of her nose. I comes with the territory of being famous, other celebrities know how to ignore negative statements, maybe she should too.

I hope the made up word "strongliest" was intended as a commentary on the poor grammar contained in Scarlett's reply. If not, you are hereby instructed to quit your use of English at once.

Just looking at the picture, I totally noticed that her nose looks different. I don't really give a damn, just sayin…
her publicist is an idiot says – reply to this

70

She has no grounds to sue. The doctor is speculating… speculation is a part of free speech. To prove libel or slander, must prove it was a statement said with knowledge that it was untrue. So try to sue Scar-Jo, it isn't going to work, but way to get some publicity : P

Re: Clara –

I dislike Scarlett but if I was a celebrity I would be PISSED AS HELL if someone printed a story saying that I had a nose job when I didn't. If I HAD had a nose job (which I wouldn't) I would ignore and not comment on it but if I hadn't, mannnn. That is my biggest pet peeve, being blamed for something I didn't do. I feel where she is coming from if indeed she is telling the truth but I agree with the rest of the post about the grammar.

she is so BEAUTIFUL it's insane!!! she has the glamour and look of classic hollywood which is missing in most of the celebs today. and her boobs are perfect and the fact that they are real is not fair! she definitely had no surgery…she looks the same in all the older photos…gorgeous! & people never want to believe someone can have natural beauty so they try and bring them down..PATHETIC! GOOD FOR HER! I'm glad that she is standing up for herself. She is the ultimate portrait of beauty and sexiness. I adore her!
