‘Pure fantasy!’ DiCaprio sues mag over Rihanna rumors

LOS ANGELES: Hollywood star Leonardo DiCaprio has filed a lawsuit against a French magazine, which claimed he was having a baby with R&B singer Rihanna. He has sued Oops! for its May 28 cover story, which also said that the 40-year-old “Inception” actor would not recognize the baby as his, reported TMZ. DiCaprio’s lawyer has called the story “pure fantasy.”
The actor is apparently demanding over $20,000 in damages and attorney fees. The amount is the maximum allowed under French law.
Sources said the star’s team recently contacted Oops! and informed the people running the magazine that the story was false. The magazine reportedly responded that they did not care.
Another source claimed the magazine just wants publicity. DiCaprio and Rihanna, 27, first sparked dating rumors when they attended a birthday bash in February. They were seen together at other parties too, fueling speculations. The actor dismissed the rumor in March but the duo continued to be linked to each other.
