It's just a taunt and a publicity stunt.
Nothing more. It always happens and if the papers goes to pay like that, they would go bankrupt in months
They just settle these off courts with either giving the persona affected some long time benefits in the paper it self or some small money settlement.
The thing you have to remember is that.. these famous wankers can't live without the papers and the papers can't live without them
So these things are like just Family problems..nothing serious.. just small cuffels.
