TV stars launch court bid to keep names out of Tim Worner scandal
Two TV personalities named by a website in connection with the sex scandal surrounding Seven West Media CEO, Tim Worner, have launched defamation proceedings in an attempt to have their names removed from the site.
An urgent hearing in the NSW Supreme Court was scheduled for 10:00am today with lawyers acting for “Jane Doe 1” and “Jane Doe 2” suing the site’s owner for defamation.
For legal reasons, Mumbrella is not naming the women, or the website in question.
Worners the problem not the women, nut up Stokes and get rid of him.
Oh the irony of two women who get their pay via a company that owns New Idea and other tabloid trash, that regularly defames people like Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban (how many times this year have they split up or been pregnant?) and Bec and Leyton Hewitt,(again how many times have they split up, or one of them is having an affair etc) according to New Idea?
They are happy to work for a company that makes money dragging others through the mud, but woe is me, the second it happens to them.
Boo Hoo
Art,
Let’s assume they have nothing to do with it.
Your employer could be a dick too.
Let’s assume they are good workers whose reputations will be traduced. Especially the married one.
Happy Christmas

Oh Please! It amazes me how even today (the tail end of 2016) any questionable situation, such as the use of company funds for personal reasons, or the use of corporate power to enrich ones personal desires, is always heated up to boiling point by the association of sexual behaviour.
We are, after the age of innocence, and unless asexual, all sexual beings of one type or another. Here, like Clinton and Lewinsky, there are consenting adults doing what adults do. It has been many years since we made a joke of Lord Reith, who suspending an on air announcer for kissing a woman from the typing pool, and when it was suggested by his supervisor, that the announcer should be reinstated because he was a married man whose family depended on his income, Reith replied that his being married made the matter worse! He was ultimately reinstated, but never again allowed to read the on air epilogue.
Memo to the lawyers warning Mumbrella not to publish the names of the women nor that of the website: it took me about 8 seconds to Google it up. But I suppose you have to go through the motions when you’re being paid QC-level fees. Keep it up chaps!
