George & Amal Clooney Outraged Over Illegal Photo Of Twins

CHARLES: GEORGE CLOONEY IS SO
ANGRY.
HE HAS DECLARED WAR ON A FRENCH
MAGAZINE THAT THOUGHT THEY HAD A
BIG, BIG SCOOP, BIG GET.
THE MAGAZINE IS CALLED "VOICI"
AND THEY PUBLISHED THE FIRST
PHOTOS OF GEORGE AND AMAL
CLOONEY'S TWINS, ALEXANDER AND
ELLA, AND NOBODY HAS SEEN THEM.
WE HAVE SEEN THEM IN A BASSINET
WHEN THEY WERE ARRIVING IN
ITALY.
WE HAVEN'T ACTUALLY SEEN THEM.
THIS IS THE CLOSEST WE HAVE
SEEN.
WELL, "VOICI" GOT SOME PHOTOS
THAT WE'RE NOT SHOWING YOU.
THERE IS A REASON WE'RE NOT
SHOWING YOU BECAUSE GEORGE
CLOONEY HAS DECLARED WAR ON THEM
AND SAID THAT HE IS 100% TAKING
THEM TO COURT AND WANTS TO SEE
THEM PROSECUTED.
THE STATEMENT HE RELEASED ABOUT
THESE PHOTOS, HE SAID OVER THE
LAST WEEK, PHOTOGRAPHERS FROM
"VOICI" MAGAZINE KILLED OUR
FENCE, CLIMBED OUR TREE AND
ILLEGALLY TOOK PICTURES OF OUR
INFANTS INSIDE OUR HOME.
MAKE NO MISTAKE, THE
PHOTOGRAPHERS, THE AGENCIES AND
THE MAGAZINE WILL BE PROSECUTED
TO THE FULL EXTENT OF THE LAW.
>> WHICH IS SAYING SOMETHING,
CHARLES, UNDER ITALIAN LAW AND
FRENCH LAW WHERE THE PICTURES
ARE PUBLISHED.
IT'S ILLEGAL WHAT THEY DID,
SCALING THE FENCE, SCALING THE
TREE, ASSUMING WHAT CLOONEY SAID
WAS TRUE.
TO PUBLIC THESE PHOTOS WITH IT
HANGING OVER THEIR HEAD, CIVILLY
FINED AND CRIMINAL NORMALLY
PROSECUTED FOR DOING IT.
CHARLES: THE LAWS ARE FAR
DIFFERENT, MORE STRICT ABOUT
TAKING PHOTOS, EVEN OF A PUBLIC
FIGURE LIKE GEORGE CLOONEY.
VAN: I GUESS THE QUESTION IS,
ARE THEY UNAWARE OF THIS OR ARE
THEY DISPUTING THIS?
CHARLES: THEY ACTUALLY DID HAVE
A RESPONSE, BUT THEY DIDN'T
ADDRESS HOW THE PHOTOS WERE
TAKEN.
THEIR POINT WAS MORE ABOUT THE
NEWSWORTHINESS OF SEEING THE
BABIES SAYING THAT GEORGE
CLOONEY, HE IS VERY PUBLIC AND
THAT HE HAS MADE A BIG DEAL AND
ANNOUNCEMENT ABOUT THE BIRTH OF
THE TWINS --
VAN: WHICH DOESN'T SPEAK TO THE
LEGALITY OF HOW THE PICTURES
WERE TAKEN.
>> I ASKED DID YOU GUYS SCALE A
FENCE, GO IN A TREE AND TAKE THE
PHOTOS?
I DON'T KNOW HOW WE GOT THE
PHOTOS, THEY WERE JUST TAKEN.
>> THAT'S NOT A HORRIBLE DEFENSE
IT.
THIS FOR A FREELANCE GUY, THEY
HAD NO IDEA HOW IT WAS TAKEN, IT
WOULD BE HARD TO CRIMINALLY
PROSECUTE THE MAGAZINE FOR THAT.
ON THE OTHER HAND, IF THEY
ENCOURAGED HIM TO DO THIS OR
KNEW THAT HE DID IT BEFORE THEY
PUBLISHED, A DIFFERENT STORY.
VAN: WHAT ABOUT CIVILLY,
PUBLISHED IN THEIR MAGAZINE?
>> THEY'RE GOING TO BE NAILED NO
MATTER HOW THEY DID IT.
UNDER ITALIAN LAW, THE FAME OF
THE VIDEOS DOES COME INTO PLAY
AND GIVEN THE FAME OF THESE
FOLKS AND IF THE MAGAZINE
DOESN'T KNOW HOW THEY OBTAINED
IT, THEN I SAY THEY WOULD HAVE A
BETTER SHOT.
CHARLES: THIS IS MORE THAN
LIKELY A CASE THAT HE IS GOING
TO TRY IN FRANCE.
WE HAVE ACTUALLY SEEN THIS
BEFORE WHERE I THINK IT WAS
LEONARDO DICAPRIO, THAT WAS A
SLANDER, A LIBEL SUIT, SUED IN
FRANCE FOR A MAGAZINE THAT DID A
STORY ABOUT HIM AND I BELIEVE HE
WON THAT CASE.
>> LIBEL AND SLANDER LAWS ARE
DIFFERENT, TO YOUR POINT,
CHARLES, ESPECIALLY IN EUROPE,
YOU SAY SOMETHING THAT IS FALSE
ABOUT SOMETHING, IT'S EASY TO
STEW THEM FOR DEFAMATION.
CALLER: ALL I CAN SAY IS BASED
ON THE FACTS I'VE SEEN THAT
GEORGE CLOONEY HAS A GOOD CASE.
ONE THING WE GOT TO REMEMBER, IN
FRANCE, IT IS GUILTY UNTIL
PROVEN INNOCENT.
SO ALL I CAN SAY TO THE
PHOTOGRAPHER IS GOOD LUCK, GUYS.
CHARLES: YEAH, I WAS GOING TO
SAY AND YOU KNOW, JASON, I KNOW
YOU'RE SAYING, LOOK WE DON'T
KNOW HOW HE GOT THE PHOTOS.
HAVING SEEN THE PHOTOS ON THE
COVER OF THE MAGAZINE, IT SEEMS
PRETTY CLEAR.
VAN: I'M WITH YOU.
CHARLES: THAT THESE ARE, YOU
KNOW, THEY'RE WALKING AROUND IN
THEIR BACKYARD.
IT'S, I DON'T KNOW.
ANTHONY: WHY TAKE ALL OF THE
RISK FOR TWO HEADS.
YOU DON'T SEE THE BABIES.
IT'S A LOT OF RISK FOR NO REWARD
REALLY.
CHARLES: AND NOW THEY GOT
THEMSELVES A LAWSUIT.
SO WE'LL SEE HOW THAT TURNS OUT.
