AceShowbiz - Scarlett Johansson is mad and she's going to court. The movie beauty has threatened to take legal action against US Weekly over its cover story that claims she has had plastic surgery on her nose.
Revealing her intention to sue the tabloid, the Golden Globe Award nominee has reached out to OK! to put the brake on the false accusation and set the record straight.
Johansson's representative told OK! "Us Weekly's [new] cover story regarding Scarlett Johansson and its clear implication that she has had plastic or cosmetic surgery on her nose is an outrageous and defamatory fabrication lacking any conceivable basis or proof, despite vehement denials by Ms. Johansson prior to publication. Not surprisingly, US magazine cannot provide the dates when she supposedly had this surgery, who performed the surgery, or what was supposedly done - all because there simply is no truth to the story. The publication made a pathetic attempt to validate its story by using two cover photos of Scarlett that were taken years apart with obviously different make-up and lighting, and then relying on an "expert's opinion" (based solely on looking at the two photos) on what "might" have been done. It wasn't."
Johansson herself said "I have always been straightforward with the press regarding my body image and I am very concerned that my fans (and perhaps even my employers) will feel mislead. Thus, I feel compelled to take immediate legal action against US Weekly."
