Subject: Elizabeth Hurley's "supposed" Comments Regarding Marilyn Monroe

Your page regarding Elizabeth Hurley's comments about Marilyn Monroe is based upon fiction, as can be properly verified here. Perhaps you people should do some fact checking once in a while. It seems to me that if you weren't just jealous and honestly did believe that women in entertainment today are too skinny, you'd check your facts properly. Just a thought. I'm no huge fan of Elizabeth Hurley or anything, I think her acting is atrocious, personally; however, baseless libel is definitely something that I despise. Correct your page.

Joshua,
I'm very familiar with Snopes, and the page you cite doesn't question Hurley's comments (which she hasn't denied to my knowledge) but merely the popular claim that Marilyn Monroe was a size 16 (which we've never touched upon). Perhaps you need to get your facts straight and read things clearly before sending off letters about "baseless libel."
For a statement to be libelous, it must be false. We've made no false claims.
