George Clooney slams UK tabloid report about rift with his future mother-in-law
By Brian Stelter, CNN
(CNN) - George Clooney 1, Daily Mail newspaper 0.
The British newspaper's website deleted an article about Clooney, his fiancee, Amal Alamuddin, and her mother, Baria, on Wednesday, after Clooney said the article was "completely fabricated" and even "dangerous."
The website subsequently apologized and said it had "launched a full investigation."
The offending article came out on the Web on Monday and in print on Tuesday. While it is now missing from the Mail's site, rewritten versions of it still appear on hundreds of other sites - a point that Clooney himself made in an unusual response to the Mail, published by USA Today on Wednesday morning.
