Fan takes legal action against Nick Kyrgios after allegation that she was 'drunk out of her mind' at Wimbledon final
CNN
The woman whom Nick Kyrgios accused of having had "700 drinks" and being "drunk out of her mind" during this year's Wimbledon final in early July says she is suing the Australian tennis player for defamation.
In a statement sent to CNN by her lawyers on Tuesday, Anna Palus accused Kyrgios of making the allegation, which she described as "reckless and entirely baseless," and which she says caused her and her family "substantial damage and distress."
"I am not litigious, but after much consideration, I have concluded that I have no alternative but to instruct my solicitors Brett Wilson LLP to bring defamation proceedings against Mr Kyrgios in order to clear my name," the statement read.
