David Duchovny Suing British Newspaper For Defamation

October 23rd, 2008

David Duchovny filed a lawsuit against British tabloid the Daily Mail on Wednesday (October 22), after a story claimed the ‘Californication’ star had an affair with a 28-year-old Hungarian tennis coach.

The 48-year-old actor is seeking $1 million in damages following the report that he had an affair with Edit Pakay, a claim he denies.

“This is false,” the lawsuit states.  “It never happened.”

Duchovny, who recently finished a stint in rehab to battle a sex addiction, announced he had split with wife Téa Leoni last week after 11 years of marriage.
