KUALA LUMPUR: Actress and model Fara Mendoza won a defamation suit against fellow actress Zarina Anjoulie, which was filed last January at the Seremban High Court in Negri Sembilan.
Fara, 30, whose real name is Norfaralinah Md Yunus, said she felt relieved that the case was ruled in her favour.
"I've been fighting for the past five months to see this case get settled in court. I was badly affected by the distribution of a nude photo as well as the accusations of having had an abortion, made by the other party," she said in a news report today.
Fara's lawyer, Muhammad Akram Dr Abdul Aziz said among the demands made by his client was a court injunction to stop the 32-year-old Zarina, whose real name is Anjoulie Lavocah Mohd Fahizul, from making anymore slanderous statements against her.
"Fara is also seeking for Zarina to make a public apology for slandering her. She is also seeking for Zarina to pay the damages and the legal fees incurred," he said.
Muhammad Akram also reminded the public to be mindful when making any written statement, including those shared on social media.
