Adelson sues Wall Street Journal reporter for calling him “foul-mouthed
Sheldon Adelson sued a Wall Street Journal
reporter for libel for calling him “foul-mouthed.”
The lawsuit filed on Feb. 22 seeks
"damages, including aggravated, exemplary and special damages," for a
December article co-written by Kate O'Keeffe. Only O’Keefe is named in the
suit, The Wall Street Journal reported Monday.
"We will vigorously defend Ms. O'Keeffe
in this lawsuit," said a Wall Street Journal spokeswoman, declining to
comment further.
Last August, Adelson sued the National Jewish
Democratic Council for defamation after the organization quoted news reports
alleging that he had approved of prostitution at his properties in Macau, China.
The suit has not been settled.
