A former high class call girl is suing an ex-boyfriend after he said she was not a prostitute.
Dr Brooke Magnanti — who achieved fame as blogger “Belle de Jour,” writing about her experiences as a $500 an hour call girl — is taking the legal action in Scotland, reports the Independent.
It may be the first time in legal history a woman has sued for not being called a prostitute.
It is thought the case is against an ex, Owen Morris.
He began a legal action against her in 2013, claiming he did not believe that she was a prostitute when they were together in a relationship.
She in turn has counter sued, claiming her reputation would be damaged by doubt being cast over whether she was a prostitute.
Her blog spawned two best-selling books and a British TV series, “Secret Diary of a Call Girl.”
Magnenti is now a forensic scientist and writer.
She started writing her call girl blog in 2003, funding her life as a doctorate student by working in the sex trade.
American-born, but now a British citizen, Magnanti’s identity was revealed in 2009.
