Scarlett Johansson

Scarlett Johansson is seeing red! And I am not talking about her reddish-brown hair. Nope! She’s seeing red because of anger. And that anger is such that she is willing to sue a magazine for it.

ScarJo got so angry over Us Weekly’s “outrageous and defamatory” allegations. What are these allegations about that got her so riled up? Well, Us claims that the famous actress had undergone plastic surgery.

This is what the blonde-turned-brunette’s publicist had to say:

“US Weekly’s 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,” reads a statement from her rep. “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.”

“Scarlett has always been straightforward with the press regarding her body image, and she is very concerned that her fans (and perhaps even her employers) will feel mislead. Thus, she feels compelled to take immediate legal action against Us Weekly.”

Hmmm…if I were Us I would be scared…very scared! Remember when Scarlett had it in mind to sue a website that bore her name? She won that case. And unless Us starts to beg forgiveness or make a sort of settlement with her camp, then this looks like another ScarJo victory. Think about it, Us had no facts to support their claims, no statements from reliable witnesses, only allegations and implications. And an angry Scarlett is a scary Scarlett and I don’t think even the top online casinos can make her feel better…err… peace Scarlett!

So? Whose side are you on?
