Melania Trump Sues Daily Mail For $ 150 million


As the wife of Donald Trump, Melania Trump is already worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

But a new lawsuit suggests she should have been able to become a multimillionaire in her own right as First Lady—if it weren't for an article published last summer that alleged she once worked for an escort service.

The suit, filed Monday against the Daily Mail's American website, says the site's conduct "was extreme and outrageous in falsely making the scurrilous charge that the future First Lady of the United States worked as a prostitute."

Melania had a “unique, once in a lifetime opportunity” to “launch a broad-based commercial brand” that could have garnered "multi-million dollar business relationships," since she was now "one of the most photographed women in the world," the lawyers allege.

Melania is seeking damages of $150 million.
