Actress Sienna Miller said on Thursday that British tabloid The Sun had nearly destroyed her life as she resolved a phone-hacking claim with the tabloid’s publisher.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In September 2019, the 39-year-old actress filed a lawsuit against News Group Newspapers (NGN) for claimed voicemail interception and misuse of personal information. The publisher, which is owned by Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp, denied improper data collection and agreed to pay “significant damages” without admitting fault.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After 15 public personalities resolved claims against NGN over phone hacking at the now-defunct News of the World weekly, the case was heard in London’s High Court. Miller’s counsel said in court that she was subjected to “extreme media scrutiny and substantial intrusion into her private life,” which harmed not only her but also her family and friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
