Rod's girl sues over Brand claims

Rod Stewart’s daughter is complaining her reputation has been damaged – by reports she slept with Russell Brand.

Kimberly, 26, says she’s suing over a story claiming she had a fling with the comic who the tabloids describe as a ‘randy motormouth’.

Both Kimberly and Brand are single, despite his much publicised  dalliance with Kate Moss. So when the blonde was seen entering Brand's London home at 3am after a night out together at Mayfairs’s Cuckoo Club earlier this month, it was perhaps inevitable the Sunday People would jump to conclusions.

But now 'socialite' Kimberly, who has also been linked to Callum Best, says she horrified by the photos and story that appeared in the Press, and is suing to defend her image.

She said: ‘I'm taking legal action against the newspaper that printed our photos, but what was printed was a completely false story. Russell and I are just friends.

‘The night they took the picture, I actually got locked out of the place I was staying, so I went back to Russell's place to wait for a cab, that's all that happened.

‘The papers have always been quite nice to me in Britain so it's really unfortunate they wrote what they did and assumed it was something more. It was really not nice. It was very hurtful and disappointing for me.’
