David Duchovny Drops U.K. Newspaper Lawsuit

1 month ago 24th Nov 05:56

David Duchovny has dropped a $1 million (£666,000) lawsuit against Britain's Daily Mail newspaper for alluding he had an affair, a week after the publication apologised for the story.

In the October (08) article, the Mail alluded to a possible affair between Duchovny and his coach Edit Pakay.

The actor immediately denied the report and filed a defamation suit in Los Angeles.

The publication printed an apology to the star last weekend (15Nov08), admitting the newspaper's original story was "inaccurate".

And now Duchovny has dropped the suit he filed against the tabloid, according to E! Online.

Duchovny and Leoni separated in October after 11 years of marriage.
