Quote:
Back in March, model-turned-make up artist Irina Krupnik filed a $10 million lawsuit against NBC Universal Inc., makers of the film Couples Retreat. She was aggrieved because the film featured a ?comedy? scene of Jon Favreau using her as grist to his masturbatory mill.
Though she?d signed a complete release on the picture ten years ago, this case was to be built upon her supposed lack of awareness that the image would ever be used in a ?quasi-pornographic context.? It was a picture of her in a bikini, so she?d have to be particularly naive to think it could never be seen as a sexualised, possibly even erotic, image.
