Scarlett Johansson will be getting 2,500 euros as damage charges from novelist Gregoire Delacourt for basing a defamatory "doppelganger" character on her, in his book 'The First Thing We Look'.
Though Delacourt said that the depiction was meant as the "highest praise" to the 29-year-old star, as per the beauty's lawyer, Vincent Toledano, the book portrayed her as a "sex object" and contained "defamatory claims about her private life," BBC reported.
A Paris court declared that since the book credited relationships that Johansson had never mentioned herself, it was indeed "hurtful and demeaning."
The March 2013 published book, focused on model Jeanine Foucamprez, who had remarkable similarity to Johansson, and has sold 100,000 copies.
Though the lawyers for the 'Iron Man' star had filed 50,000 euros as compensation, the final amount received was significantly lower.
