George Clooney used to be a man of few words but "The Ides of March" actor couldn't keep mum on the Daily Mail's latest story.

Clooney wrote an Op-Ed article on USA Today where he addressed Daily Mail's article that alleged his fiancée Amal Alamuddin's mother, Baria, opposes his marriage due to religious reasons, according to the New York Observer.

In the exclusive piece, Clooney wrote, "I want to speak to the irresponsibility of Monday's Daily Mail report. I seldom respond to tabloids, unless it involves someone else and their safety or well being. The Daily Mail has printed a completely fabricated story about my fiancée's mother opposing our marriage for religious reasons. It says Amal's mother has been telling "half of Beirut" that she's against the wedding. It says they joke about traditions in the Druze religion that end up with the death of the bride."

He continued, "First of all, none of the story is factually true. Amal's mother is not Druze. She has not been to Beirut since Amal and I have been dating, and she is no way against the marriage - but none of that is the issue. I'm, of course, used to the Daily Mail making up stories - they do it several times a week - and I don't care..."

Clooney added, "...But this lie involves larger issues. The irresponsibility in this day and age, to exploit religious differences where none exists, is at the very least negligent and more appropriately dangerous. We have family members all over the world, and the idea that someone would inflame any part of that world for the sole reason of selling papers should be criminal."

As of late, the publication has already apologized to Clooney and his entire family "for any distress caused," BBC confirmed.

However, the publication sent an exclusive email to TIME and confirmed that their story was not "a fabrication but was supplied in good faith by a reputable and trusted freelance journalist."

As of late, the Daily Mail has already taken down the controversial article.
