The wife of racing legend and seven-time Formula One champion Michael Schumacher, Corinna Schumacher, decided to take legal action against three publications that reported her husband speaking his first words.

Schumacher was in a coma after a horrific skiing accident last December 2013 but already left the hospital on June 2014 after regaining consciousness.

Since then there are reports saying that the 46-year-old is paralyzed in a wheelchair having memory problems and is also not speaking.

The three publications that Corinna lodged a complaint against allegedly reported that her husband already spoke his first words and is going through a special therapy.

Melanie Hall of The Telegraph reported about the news regarding Corinna's legal battles against the publications.

According to Hall's report, the publications are Bunte, Freizeit Revue and Freizeit Spaß.

Hall added that the reports by these publications regarding Schumacher were banned by the court.

The court said the reports "removed his privacy and was the subject of speculative hope and voyeuristic observation," the Süddeutsche Zeitung reported.

In Hall's report, she added that Bunte reported Schumacher opening his eyes and feeling her wife's love again which the court found as a sign of voyeurism.

Meanwhile, the Freizeit Revue said in their report that Schumacher can already speak but doing it in a "fragmented way."

The Freizeit Spaß reported that Schumacher is undergoing a special therapy although the article was mostly consisted of an interview with a doctor talking about rehabilitation for patients coming out of a coma.

According to the court, the report gives readers false hope and assumes that Schumacher is going through a special therapy to get better.
