US EditionJennifer Lopez Sued for Posting Paparazzi Pictures of Herself From Golden Globes Event
- Jennifer Lopez faces two federal copyright infringement lawsuits filed on May 17 for posting paparazzi photos of herself from a January pre-Golden Globes party in Los Angeles without permission.
- The lawsuits were filed after Lopez posted photos taken outside a joint event hosted by Amazon and Vanity Fair on January 4 without obtaining licensing rights from photographer Edwin Blanco and the co-owning agency Backgrid.
- Legal filings state Lopez used the photos commercially to promote her public appearances and fashion brand partnerships, while Blanco and Backgrid claim settlement attempts failed as Lopez never signed or paid for rights.
- The plaintiffs seek damages up to $150,000 per photo and a jury trial, highlighting that celebrities do not own copyright to images of themselves and must obtain photographer permission to repost.
- This lawsuit highlights the ongoing legal challenges celebrities face when sharing paparazzi photos on social media, as Lopez has encountered similar copyright claims related to unauthorized photo use in past years.
