In 1999, Boulaye, then a supporter of the Conservative Party, successfully sued The Guardian for libel after the paper wrongly quoted her as saying "This is a time to support apartheid because it's unfashionable"; she later stated she had been set up by a reporter who claimed to have misheard her when she referred to "a party" (The Conservatives) as opposed to "apartheid". The Guardian was later forced to pay £15,000 in damages. Personal life A devout Roman Catholic, Boulaye has two children and two grandchildren with husband Stephen Komlosy.
