The actress was reportedly outraged when she heard an unauthorised piece about her would be running in Vanity Fair, and proceeded to contact all her famous friends to warn them not to buy the issue or work with them again.
'Vanity Fair is threatening to put me on the cover of their magazine,' she wrote. 'If you are asked for quotes or comments, please decline. Also, I recommend you all never do this magazine again.’
However, in a recent interview Carter revealed he will not be putting an end to the feud that has been going on since May, and his decision to run the piece is reportedly a result of the 41-year-old Hollywood actress’s ‘high and mighty’ attitude in the whole situation.
Explaining that ‘she forced my hand’, Carter said:
'We started a story on her. We have a very good writer and it’ll run,' he confirms of what some Us publications report is expected to be an 'epic takedown'.
And the mother-of-two is not the only one who has found issue with the magazine.
Last year Tom Cruise’s lawyer issued a statement after the publication ran a piece linking Tom’s Scientology beliefs to the demise of this marriage to Katie Holmes.
'Anyone associated with this sleazy story should be ashamed of themselves - not just for publishing lies, but also for being unoriginal, sloppy and dull,' he said.
But Carter believes celebrities should not be given special treatment.
'Some famous people believe that they live in a cone of celebrity that protects them,' counters Carter, who has been the head of the publication since 1992.
'But it doesn’t really exist anymore in LA unless they stay in.’
