Kate HudsonKate Hudson decided to sue the British edition of the National Enquirer over eating disorder claims because she didn’t want to give the wrong idea to young girls.

The magazine had to publish an apology last week after falsely accusing Kate of being “painfully thin” due to an eating disorder and being urged to eat by her mother Goldie Hawn.

Kate explained her reasoning for taking them to court: “There are lines that are drawn and lines that are crossed and that’s completely inappropriate and not something to be taken lightly.”

“They like to go under this loophole that we’re in the public eye which is why they can make accusations about who you are.”

“I couldn’t just let someone accuse me of something that serious - and such a blatant lie.”

“Anorexia not something to be rumoured, it’s a serious problem.”
