The publisher, which is owned by Rupert Murdoch&#8217;s News Corp, denied improper data collection and agreed to pay &#8220;significant damages&#8221; without admitting fault.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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&#8217;s High Court. Miller&#8217;s counsel said in court that she was subjected to &#8220;extreme media scrutiny and substantial intrusion into her private life,&#8221; which harmed not only her but also her family and friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/news25.org\/blinken-urges-russia-to-de-escalate-on-border-as-clashes-continue-in-eastern-ukraine\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"2730\">Blinken urges Russia to \u2018de-escalate\u2019 on border as clashes continue in eastern Ukraine<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/news25.org\/covid-europe-will-lose-700000-more-people-by-march-according-to-the-who\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"2606\">Covid: Europe will lose 700,000 more people by March, according to the WHO<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;In particular, The Sun published numerous intrusive stories about her that contained private details about her relationships and feelings and even her confidential medical information,&#8221; said David Sherbourne. That included revealing details of a pregnancy, the court was told.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;She felt at the time, and still does, that The Sun brutally took away her choice in the matter,&#8221; Sherbourne said, adding that she could &#8220;never forgive what they did&#8221;. Outside court, Miller said she wanted the case to go to full trial &#8220;to expose the criminality that runs through the heart&#8221; of NGN but the huge costs involved prevented her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;They (The Sun) very nearly ruined my life. I have certainly seen how they have ruined the lives of others,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Their behaviour shattered me, damaged my reputation &#8212; at times beyond repair &#8212; and caused me to accuse my family and friends of selling information that catapulted me into a state of intense paranoia and fear.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Murdoch shut down the News of the World in 2011 after it emerged the newspaper hired a private investigator to hack into the voicemail of a missing girl who was later found murdered. It led to a wider police inquiry into illegal tabloid newsgathering methods that saw several journalists put on trial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Last week, Meghan Markle called for a reform of tabloid culture after winning a second court victory against Britain&#8217;s Associated Newspapers for breach of privacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She said the industry &#8220;conditions people to be cruel and profits from the lies and pain that they create&#8221;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>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&#8217;s publisher.
