The Daily Mail stalked and photographed a random woman it thought was Meg White
The Daily Mail reportedly stalked and published photographs of a woman it believed to be Meg White, only to quietly remove the photos from its website when it learned otherwise.
The Daily Mail has come under scrutiny for allegedly stalking and photographing a woman they mistakenly believed to be Meg White, the drummer for The White Stripes. The tabloid reportedly followed and took pictures of a woman, who was found to be not Meg White, at a restaurant. Upon learning of the mistake, The Daily Mail quietly removed the photos from their website.
However, the incident has reignited interest in Meg White's reclusive lifestyle, which began after the band disbanded in 2011. White's former bandmate and husband, Jack White, mentioned in a recent interview at the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame induction ceremony that people used to stare at them, even at the Detroit Zoo. An anonymous music label executive close to White confirmed to The Guardian that neither Meg nor the mistakenly photographed friend were aware they were being stalked and would not have willingly participated in the publication by The Daily Mail. The source adds that White is living her desired private life in Detroit.
