Katie Holmes filed a lawsuit today in a federal court in Los Angeles for libel against American Media, Inc., publisher of Star magazine.
Holmes claims in the lawsuit she was defamed by the magazine after a recently published article falsely suggested that she is a drug addict.
Holmes tells ET, "Of all the fabricated stories that continue to be published about me, this instance is beyond the pale. The publisher knew this outrageous story was false and printed it anyway to sell magazines."
Her lawyer says the claims about Katie are completely false. He adds, "Not only do they cruelly defame Katie, they play a cheap trick on the public, making ridiculously false claims on the cover unsupported by anything inside."
American Media tells ET in part, "Star fully stands behind the editorial integrity of what we have published concerning Ms. Holmes."
