Model Lara Bingle To Sue AFL Footballer Over Nude Photo
We’ve heard this a thousand times so you know how it goes… boy convinces girl to let him take naked photos of her, boy and girl break up, boy either threatens or leaks the photo so girl tries to sue. Let’s welcome Lara Bingle to the stage, a model who is suing Brendan Fevola over leaking a nude photo of her.
In the photo, which you can see below, Lara is taking a shower while she tries to cover her boobs with her right hand. The photo was apparently taken back in 2006 when she and Brendan were having an affair, it was published in Woman’s Day magazine on Monday.
The Australian model and Australian football player started their affair back in 2006 but she denies that she knew he was married and had children. Since then he has been traded to a different football team for poor behavious after he repeatedly became a drunk mess out in public.
Her manager, Max Markson, said “Lara Bingle is taking legal action against Brendan Fevola for breach of privacy, defamation and misuse of her image. Lara was 19 when the photo was taken. It’s evident from the photo it was taken without consent, without permission and totally without taste, Taking the photo was wrong and Brendan Fevola’s decision to distribute the photo was when he broke the law.”
The editor for Woman’s Day said that they published the photos because “it was going to come out at some point anyway,” I love that her response is basically like oh well they are going to come out sooner or later so we should make the money.
Brendan Fevola does sound like a douche but I don’t really know how Lara Bingle could prove that he leaked the photo. I’ve said ti a million times – if you don’t want naked photos leaking then don’t take them or at least make sure the photos get deleted before you leave the hotel room.
