Chu Mei-Feng settles with tabloid
Chu Mei-Feng has dropped her lawsuit against Scoop Weekly, the tabloid that distributed hidden camera videos of her having sex in her apartment. "Her lawyer said the civil lawsuit was dropped on two conditions, one of which was that the magazine would support her in all her future career endeavours. The other condition was that the magazine's owner, Mr Shen Yeh, should help to mediate her dispute with Kaohsiung mayor Frank Hsieh, reported United Daily News. Ms Chu, who alleged in 1996 while still being Taipei City councillor that Mr Hsieh received NT$20 million in political donations from a notorious cult figure, is facing a defamation suit from the mayor."
