The demands were filed on Saturday, May 17 by photographer Edwin Blanco and the Agency Backgrid USAwho claim to be co -owners of the images captured outside the party prior to the Golden Globes on January 4, in the exclusive Marmont Bar in Los Angeles.
According to lawyer Peter Perkowski, representative of Blanco and Backgrid, Lopez published the photos in his Instagram and X accounts on January 5 without authorization, which caused a wide diffusion by pages of fans and fashion marks, including the synthetic skin shelter designer that the singer and actress carried.
“The unauthorized use of the images by Mrs. Lopez has a commercial nature, with the purpose of self -promotion,” Perkowski explained. “She used the photos to highlight the designer of her clothes and jewelry, taking advantage of the advertising of the event to promote her affiliations and brand associations.”
