Long-time bachelor George Clooney claims the Daily Mail UK 'covered up' their mistakes by telling more lies and declined their apology regarding the tabloid's report that Baria Alamuddin, his fiancee's mother, thinks that she "can do better" than to choose someone outside of their Druze sect referring to her daughter's engagement with the actor.

In follow up reports, Clooney condemned the 'lies' reported by the tabloid stating that they created conflict between a religious sect where there is none. Citing that their report was from a "credible freelance journalist," the Daily Mail denied "fabricating" the story but later took down the article and published a "correction and an apology."

Although the famous actor acknowledged the tabloid's apology, he refused to accept it calling them "the worst kind of tabloid" for making up information and printing them recklessly, to the disadvantage of their patrons.

Clooney said in a statement published in the news agency, that the tabloid admitted to telling the lie and went out of its way to disguise the truth behind another lie stating that the story was based on "conversations with senior members of the Lebanese community."

"The original story never cites that source, but instead goes out of its way to insist on four different occasions that "a family friend" Clooney stated in an article, "A 'family friend' was the source. So either they were lying originally or they're lying now."

In the statement, the actor also said that the tabloid knew about the lie but went ahead and published it anyway citing a related Daily Mail article published on April 28 where reporter Richard Spillet wrote that Ramzi, Amal Alamuddin's father, "married outside the Druze faith" confirming Clooney's initial statement that Baria, Amal's mother is not Druze.

The original story by the Mail was published on Wednesday and was removed the following day due to George Clooney's initial reaction to the article.

In related news, another Hollywood star has already filed complaint against the Daily Mail for posting a 16-minute video online showing her state while she was hooked to heroin in the 1990s, exclaiming that it is a violation of her privacy.
