Leonardo DiCaprio sues French mag for claiming he is having a baby with Rihanna...and he doesn't want the child

By

Leonardo DiCaprio is reportedly suing a French gossip magazine called 'Oops! for alleging that he's having a baby with Rihanna and he does not want the child.

According to Gossip Cop, who claim they have exclusive court documents filed by Leo's lawyers in a French court, the actor is demanding the magazine retracts the story and pays him the maximum compensation French law allows, which would be about $20,000 in damages plus legal fees.

Gossip Cop also reports that Leo is also asking that the magazine be fined about $15,000 if they don't apologize to him or print a retraction. Leo reportedly became aware of the magazine's report after sighting it in France while he was there for the Cannes Film Festival last month. It was published May 13th with the title ''Rihanna Pregnant With Leonardo's Baby: He Doesn't Want The Baby'.

When Gossip Cop reached out to the owner of the magazine, Frederic Truskolaski, he said he was shocked that Leo would even bother to sue over the story. "Why would he do this?". He said they weren't sure the story was true but since others had carried something similar, they decided to run with theirs.

"We didn't know if Rihanna was pregnant but 'thought she might be. We were not sure, of course'. he said. He also said he knew they won't win the case but he knows the fine won't be much 'Usually you lose. [The fine] won't be much.'


Leonardo is not just suing because of the report according to GC, he is also suing because the pics of him used violate France's strict right to privacy laws. The case is set to go before a Paris court on June 16.

According to actor Uche Maduagwu's post and photo, he is insinuating in this post that singer Simi is two months pregnant. He posted the above photo and wrote; "Ask any real mother out there, she will gladly tell you that being pregnant is the most beautiful feeling ever. Do you know what it is to carry another being inside of you? Its so amazing, that's why I do not advice people to abort their babies, although some circumstances may force a good woman to do it sometimes. Being pregnant for a bad guy or a good guy, makes no difference dear, all na "soft work".... The very moment you shoot and God picks up the call, my brother, don't hide it, I know that sometimes "ariwo ko ni music", but you need to let the whole world know that God has answered your prayers... its so painful, when you don't really know how to make the whole world know who is responsible for your pregnancy, its so confusing sometimes, I know dear, but whats...
