Adele’s 2-year-old son wins damages for photos
Print Edition
BRITISH singer Adele has accepted a five-figure sum in damages on behalf of her 2-year-old son from a paparazzi agency that took photos of his “milestone moments”, her lawyers said yesterday.
Adele, 26, and her partner Simon Konecki had sued Corbis Images UK, arguing that it had no right to intrude upon everyday family occasions such as their son Angelo Adkins’ first trip to play group.
In a statement read out at the High Court, their lawyer Jenny Afia said that Adele “accepts and even embraces her public profile” and acknowledges how the public and press helped make her an international star.
“But she is emphatic that her 2-year-old son Angelo is not, and must never be, ‘public property’,” said Afia.
Corbis, which operates as Splash News and Picture Agency, has offered to pay a “five-figure” sum in damages and legal costs to Angelo, said law firm Schillings, which represented Adele.
The money will be held in trust for the little boy to fund any further legal action “where necessary”, the lawyers said.
