Weekly lads’ mag Zoo has apologised and agreed to pay “substantial” damages to photographer and actress Koo Stark after printing an article last May which wrongly alleged she was a porn star.
The Emap-owned magazine printed an apology in the 16 February 2007 edition and agreed to pay Stark’s legal costs as well as the undisclosed damages.
Stark said in a statement that she is relieved that her name has been cleared of the “highly damaging” allegation.
She said: “I am delighted that the record has finally been set straight and my name cleared of an allegation that my family and I have found deeply distressing and hurtful.”
Emap refused to comment on the matter
