However, once that photo passes into some sort of commercial status, in most cases her permission would be needed for her image to be used. Especially in a situation like this where, clearly, she probably did not intend for it to wind up on a website. Or, more accurately, a reasonable person would not expect that.

People...at least the ones who are not celebrities...have the right to their image, at least some control of it.

Paint it any color you want. A release is not required by law.

This is not to say that I approve of this...I am referring to law...Not my own opinions on the matter.
