Cameron Diaz Topless Photos Suit

James Joyner @ Gone Hollywood | Wednesday, April 5, 2006

Cameron Diaz has won her suit against a photographer who tried to sell topless photos of her after failing to get her to pay him blackmail.

A judge has awarded Cameron Diaz damages in a civil lawsuit filed against a photographer who took topless photos of the actress when she was 19 and later tried to sell them back to her for $3.5 million.

Superior Court Judge Valerie Baker awarded an undisclosed amount in statutory damages to Diaz and dismissed a countersuit filed against the “Charlie’s Angels” star by photographer John Rutter. Baker’s summary judgment was entered March 9 and made public last week. Diaz had sued Rutter in July 2003 after the photographer tried to sell her the images before shopping them to others. She has said a model release form was forged.

Good result. There are plenty of photos of Diaz’ rack out there without guys being able to sell ones that were supposed to be private.

Update (4/6): Hollywood Tuna, having perhaps seen too many women with boob jobs, thinks Diaz is underendowed. Further, he is of the opinion that, “No woman with small breasts should ever be allowed to sue over topless pics. Ever.”
