Journalist Defends Privacy Claims in Daily Mail Trial

0:00On March 3rd, journalists Nicole Lampert testified in a major privacy lawsuit against the publisher of the Daily Mail. She's defending stories she wrote about actress Sadie Frost between 2003 and 2005. Frost is one of seven high-profile claimants, accusing associated newspapers of serious privacy breaches over a 20-year span. The company denies any wrongdoing. Lampert told the court she never listened to voicemails to get information for her articles. She said the details came from a trusted freelance journalist named Sharon Feinstein, who had a reliable source close to Frost's social circle or family. The claimant's lawyer suggested the real source might have been phone hacking, making it hard to challenge the claims openly. Lampert firmly rejected that idea, insisting her information was from a solid human contact passed along properly. This case involves broader accusations of unlawful tactics like using private investigators and plaguing information. Prince Harry is among the claimants, alleging systematic illegal gathering from 1993 through at least 2018.
