Max Mosley ruling threatens kiss and tell livelihood

Max Mosley’s privacy payout from the News of the World could ruin the career of the “kiss and tell” women who sell their stories of celebrity encounters to the tabloids for five-figure sums.

The Independent profiles Kimberley Lee, the 25-year-old who has made tens of thousands over the past seven years selling stories of her trysts with the likes of Eminem and Robbie Williams.

Explaining her technique, she says: “The key is to get evidence that you can show to the papers, so I always get a picture of make sure we swap numbers. It’s just like a normal one-night stand only they are celebrities.”
