She Was Targetted by the Tabloids

Ray Milland’s pulled out from going through with the divorce when he saw just how much the costs would be. This pragmatic realization led to yet another romantic disappointment for Grace Kelly, as she witnessed a relationship dissolve before her very eyes. To make things worse, the affair had not remained a private matter; the media caught scent of the scandal, and the press was relentless in their scrutiny. Among the most voracious critics was the notorious gossip columnist Hedda Hopper, who seized the opportunity to lambaste Kelly in her columns, subjecting her to a particularly harsh and public censure that intensified Grace’s trials during this turbulent period.
