Paris is planning to sue Fox News after the "image" of the city was "insulted" and "prejudiced," Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo announced Tuesday during an interview with CNN's Christiane Amanpour.

“When we’re insulted, and when we’ve had an image, then I think we’ll have to sue, I think we’ll have to go to court, in order to have these words removed," Hidalgo said. "The image of Paris has been prejudiced, and the honor of Paris has been prejudiced. And I think in the great discussion of truth everyone is to play its role. And we’re going to have to be realistic and put things as they are.”

When asked by Amanpour to clarify which network she plans to take to court and sue, Hidalgo responded, “Fox News, that’s the name.”

Though the exact details of the lawsuit are unclear, over the weekend Fox News apologized to "the people of France and England" for erroneously suggesting that certain European cities have "no-go zones" where non-Muslims are not welcome.

Fox News did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Huffington Post.
