(6 Mar 2014) An invasion-of-privacy lawsuit brought by French actress Julie Gayet against a gossip magazine that reported she was having an affair with President Francois Hollande went to court on Thursday.
Gayet is seeking 54-thousand euros (74-thousand US dollars) in damages and legal fees from 'Closer' magazine, plus front-page publication of a summary of any judicial ruling in the case.
The 41-year-old actress was not present at Thursday's court proceedings in Nanterre, west of Paris.
Closer's January revelation that Hollande was meeting secretly with Gayet led to his public separation from his long-time companion, Valerie Trierweiler, and drew international headlines.
Hollande never denied his relationship with the actress.
