04:59 ET<\/span><\/span><\/p>\nActress Katie Holmes has settled a defamation claim with a US celebrity magazine over an article that falsely suggested she was a drug addict.<\/p>\n
The 32-year-old sued Star magazine for $50m (\u00a329.9m) last month over a January edition bearing the headline “Addiction Nightmare – Katie Drug Shocker”.<\/p>\n
The magazine will publish an apology in an upcoming issue.<\/p>\n
Star said it would make “substantial donation” to charity as part of the private settlement.<\/p>\n
In its apology, Star said it “did not intend to suggest Katie Holmes was a drug addict or was undergoing treatment for a drug addiction”.<\/p>\n
“Star apologises to Ms Holmes for any misperception and will be making a substantial donation to charity on Ms Holmes’ behalf for any harm that we may have caused.”<\/p>\n
“I’m pleased that this lawsuit could be resolved amicably and accept American Media’s apology,” said Holmes in a statement.<\/p>\n
“With this dispute out of the way, I look forward to once again focusing my attention on my family and career.”<\/p>\n
Star’s donation will go to the Dizzy Feet Foundation, a charity supported by the actress that helps underprivileged children pay for dance classes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
