The Taiwan High Court on Tuesday upheld a lower court ruling that radio host Clara Chou (周玉蔻) must pay NT$2 million (US$64,475) in compensation for defaming Hon Hai Precision Industry Co chairman Terry Gou (郭台銘).
Gou filed a lawsuit against Chou in 2015 after she accused him of making a NT$300 million donation to then-Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) Taipei mayoral candidate Sean Lien’s (連勝文) campaign.
In August 2015, Chou, a HitFM radio host and frequent TV talk show guest, was ordered by the Taipei District Court to publish a half-page apology on the front page of seven newspapers, as well as on the my-formosa.com Web site.
Chou appealed the ruling, but the High Court upheld it, ordering her to pay the money, but limiting her apology to just four major dailies. [FULL STORY]
