Angelina Jolie 'To Sue Daily Mail Over Heroin Video'.

YEREVAN, JULY 11, ARMENPRESS. Angelina Jolie has reportedly begun legal action against the Daily Mail for publishing a video it claims showed her while she was addicted to heroin in the 1990s, reports “Armenpress” citing The Huffington Post.

The footage, taken from the National Enquirer, was said to have featured a conversation between Jolie and her father Jon Voight about her brother James and late mother Marcheline Bertrand.

The Times writes Jolie is believed to regard the publication of the video as a gross violation of her privacy.

Former drug dealer Franklin Meyer claims he supplied cocaine and heroin three times a week to the actress. Reports of Jolie’s legal action come just days after the Daily Mail was forced to apologise to actor George Clooney for suggesting his fiancee’s mother objected to their marriage on religious grounds.

Clooney blasted the publication for the story, writing a blistering op-ed in USA Today,in which he accused the Daily Mail of behaviour that “should be criminal”. The Daily Mail appeared to lay blame for the article at the feet of its digital arm MailOnline and promised to launch a “full investigation.”

Clooney has refused to accept the apology, taking to USA Today once more to say: “There is one constant when a person or company is caught doing something wrong. The coverup is always worse.” Jolie, who is now a UN Ambassador, has been frank about her experiences withdrugs, telling The Mirror in 1996: “I have done just about every drug possible: cocaine, ecstasy, LSD and my favourite, heroin.” Sources in the industry say that while the video has never been made public before, the images are nothing new.
