Jennifer Lopez sued in copyright case for posting photos of herself to social media
A photographer and photo agency filed a lawsuit against Jennifer Lopez alleging copyright infringement after the actor and singer allegedly posted copyrighted photos of herself from a pre-Golden Globes party to social media. In the complaint, filed Saturday in federal court, photographer Edwin Blanco accuses Lopez of posting photos of her arriving and departing from the January event on Instagram and X without permission. Backgrid USA, a news and photo agency, filed a twin suit related to the same photographs, which the company and Blanco co-own, according to court documents. The photos, which as of Tuesday remained on her Instagram and X with no visible watermark, show her in white fur coat and slip dress, clutching a Chanel purse. The post on Instagram is captioned "Weekend Glamour." A representative for Lopez did not immediately respond to an email seeking comment on Tuesday. The lawsuit alleges that the "Let's Get Loud" singer posted the photos to market designers she wore at the event. Blanco and Backgrid did not respond to a request for comment on Tuesday. But in a statement to Billboard, attorney Peter Perkowski, who represents Blanco and Backgrid, claims that Lopez's use was 'commercial in nature.' "For example, Ms. Lopez used the images to spotlight the designer of her clothing and jewelry," he told Billboard. "Leveraging the publicity from the event to promote her fashion affiliations and brand partnerships." He also told the outlet that both parties had "fruitful discussions" in the weeks after the photos were posted, with Lopez's team orally agreeing to a monetary settlement. But when the papers arrived, Perkowski says she didn't sign them and has not yet paid the agreed sum. Backgrid and Blanco are seeking statutory damages up to $150,000 for each photo used as well as a jury trial, according to the lawsuit. Lopez faced legal action in 2019 and 2020 for allegedly sharing photos of her taken by others. In 2020, her production company Nuyorican Productions was also sued for $40 million by a woman who inspired Lopez's character in the film 'Hustlers.'

Jennifer Lopez sued over posting paparazzi photos of herself
Jennifer Lopez sued over posting paparazzi photos of herself Show Caption Hide Caption JLo files for divorce from Ben Affleck after 2 years Jennifer Lopez filed for divorce from Ben Affleck in Los Angeles. Per TMZ, she allegedly asked a judge to waive spousal support for both of them. Fox - LA Jennifer Lopez's social media use landed her in legal hot water over the weekend, after a photographer and celebrity news agency sued the multi-hyphenate for copyright infringement over a pair of Instagram and X posts. In a complaint filed May 17, photographer Edwin Blanco accused Lopez of posting his copyrighted photographs from a pre-Golden Globes party in January without consent. In a twin filing, news and photo agency Backgrid USA targeted Lopez over the same photographs, which it co-owns with Blanco. Lawyers for Blanco and Backgrid alleged that Lopez posted the photos of her arriving and departing the party, which took place Jan. 4 in Los Angeles, on her social media channels without contacting them or seeking a license. USA TODAY has reached out to Lopez, Backgrid and Blanco's lawyers for comment. Jennifer Lopez reunites with 'Selena' co-star as Yolanda Saldívar parole denied in Texas The result, they argued, was a rapid spread of copyright infringement online, with several fan accounts for Lopez reposting the images and the fashion brand Adrienne Landau, which designed her dress for the evening, posting the shot to its official Instagram page. Lawyers for Blanco and Backgrid called the Adrienne Landau post "particularly egregious" and argued it "directly leveraged (the) photographs to market the brand's products … generating promotional value for both the designer and Ms. Lopez, all without permission or compensation." Lopez's "unauthorized use of the Images is commercial in nature, intended for the purpose of self-promotion," the filing says. Both parties had attempted to settle the matter outside of court, lawyers for Blanco and Backgrid claimed, adding that Lopez's representatives were in communication with the photographer and agency to reach an "informal resolution" by paying him for the shots, but that she still had not signed the agreement. Jennifer Lopez says divorce from Ben Affleck was 'probably the hardest time of my life' The photos, which are not watermarked and show Lopez in an old Hollywood-style fur coat and white slip dress, remain up on her Instagram. The complaints feature two separate claims of copyright infringement, as well as breach of contract, which refers to Lopez seeking the settlement but never signing it. Blanco and Backgrid are requesting damages in an amount that can range up to $150,000 and include a jury trial. Lopez, a triple threat and longtime star, has taken a small step back from the spotlight in recent months, following a divorce from ex-fiancee-turned-new husband Ben Affleck and a series of projects chronicling their rekindled romance. She is expected to make a grand return later this month as host of the American Music Awards. Backgrid is no stranger to lawsuits, often suing other celebrity news agencies, fashion brands and big-name stars over an alleged use of their photographs. In recent years, they have pursued legal action against celebrities like Lisa Rinna, Justin Bieber and Christina Milian.
