Alex Polier confronts her slimers

Polier writes of her conversation with Flynn:

"Why did you quote my mother when she wasn't even home?" I persisted.

"I really can't talk about this right now, Alex," he said.

When I finally tracked him down the following week, he was brusque and told me to go through The Sun's PR office. I asked him about my mother again, but he kept saying, "Sorry, Alex, proper channels." Reached in London, Lorna Carmichael, The Sun's PR manager, refused to comment. I went to Flynn's apartment, and spoke to his wife through the intercom. "Go away and leave us alone!" she cried. "He's not going to come down or speak to you."

5. OK, Alex is my new heroine!!

What an amazing woman... what an incredible story. What a cowardly little sniveling loser of a tabloid reporter.

Thanks for sharing this, CatWoman!!!

When I first read that story in the Sun tabloid, I was skeptical. There were so many aspects of it that made no sense. I'm glad to see Alex is going after those a**holes.
