Madonna has accepted damages from a British newspaper that published pictures of her off-limits to the media wedding to Guy Ritchie that were stolen from her home, according to an Associated Press report.
The amount that Madonna got was not made public, but she did sue for damages in excess of $8 million, according to the AP. According to Madonna’s lawyer, the award will be donated to Madonna’s Raising Malawi charity.
According to the AP, the pictures were swiped by an interior designer from a wedding album kept in the diva’s Beverly Hills Home and presented to the London newspaper The Mail. The newspaper published the photos without consulting or warning Madonna.
Madonna had gone to great lengths to keep her December 2000 nuptials private. She and Ritchie were divorced earlier this year.
