dispute
- In July 2003, Kate complained to the Press Complaints Committee that the Daily Mail had violated her and her daughter’s privacy. The Daily Mail published photos of Kate kissing and hugging her then-new boyfriend Ren Wiseman and daughter in what appeared to be ignoring her mother’s actions. The article was titled “Mom’s latest love scene leaves Lily unmoved.” The committee dismissed her complaint on the grounds that “the photos were taken in a public place and did not reveal any private details about Lily, such as her health or schooling.”
- In March 2003, the Daily Mail published an article titled “The Real Reason Kate Is Single Again”, which contained false information about Kate, including that Kate had spent time at the clinic. In August 2003, the Daily Mail issued a formal apology after Kate lodged a complaint with the Press Complaints Commission. The Daily Mail wrote on page 17,
We now understand that our statement was incorrect and we apologise to Kate for the pain and embarrassment caused to her.”
- In 2007, she was criticized for linking anorexic girls to “prostitutes” in an interview and accused of being insensitive on social media. She has said,
I believe teenage anorexia, alcohol and substance abuse is more about what’s going on at home than about images in the media. “This is how a good girl becomes a whore.”
- In June 2009, the Daily Express wrote an article claiming that Kate had missed out on a lead role in the remake of the 1968 film Barbara starring Jane Fonda. The article further claims that Kate is heartbroken by missing out on her coveted role. After the article was published, Kate sued the Daily Express over the false allegations in the High Court in London. Kate was awarded £20,000 ($26,082.40) by the Daily Express for the hurt and embarrassment the article caused to Kate.
- In 2016, a man named Terry Lee Repp made physical contact with Kate and threatened to stab her at an event in Salt Lake City, Utah. He followed her and continued to harass her wherever she went. In 2017, Rip was eventually arrested at Tampa Bay Comic Con for stalking the actress and booked with a $500 bond.
- In 2018, she faced backlash after posting the results of the “Hollywood EGF Facial,” a treatment provided by Georgia Louise’s studio in New York City known as the “Penis Facial” because it contains Children’s serum foreskin.
