Tags:
London: The phone hacking scandal which rocked the media in UK might be far from over in terms of startling disclosures.
As per a report in Gawker it is being alleged that News of the World editor Rebekah Brooks had an affair with Andy Coulson, her boss Rupert Murdoch and his son Lachlan Murdoch In one of the emails, Brooks purportedly discussed the size of Coulson’s body parts.
In response to questions from Gawker, Steve Rubinstein, a spokesman for the Murdoch family, said unequivocally, “There is no truth to these rumours.” The lawyers representing Brooks and Coulson did not respond to requests for comment.
As per the news site, three sources shared the claim of a sexual relationship between Brooks and Rupert Murdoch with Gawker; all three said they had learned the information through lawyers involved in the case.
Two of those three sources are high-ranking executives at News Corp. The latter two sources had also both been told of a relationship between Lachlan and Brooks.
Rumors of the Coulson-Brooks affair have been floating around the Internet since last month when a vague report in The Daily Mail alluded to a “dynamite” sex scandal that prompted British Prime Minister David Cameron to hold crisis talks at Downing Street.
Rupert Murdoch’s relationship with Brooks has been closely scrutinised over the years. In the midst of the escalating phone-hacking scandal in 2011, Murdoch had told reporters that Brooks was his first priority.
