She's a Mail journalist, writing things for the Daily Mail to say. Whatever personal liability she might have, its usual for a newspaper to be contractually obliged to accept responsibility for what its staff and contributors write for its pages. The legal constraints and the large sums of money involved mean that restitution, including apologies, are very precisely agreed and conducted.
Having said all that, she did apologise, albeit minimally and timed to appear at 2am when she presumably hoped nobody would notice.
