Jennifer Lopez Faces $150K Lawsuit For Misusing Paparazzi Pics, Her 3rd Offence
Last Updated:
Jennifer Lopez faces her third lawsuit for unauthorised use of paparazzi photos on social media. Photographer Edwin Blanco and Backgrid seek $150,000 per photo.
Jennifer Lopez is facing her third legal battle over unauthorised use of paparazzi photos on her social media. This time, she is being sued for sharing pictures of herself at a Hollywood event on X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram. According to a BBC report, the photographer and his agency are seeking $150,000 in damages for each photo.
Photographer Edwin Blanco and his agency, Backgrid, claim that Jennifer used their photos without permission. The images in question were taken when she arrived at the Amazon MGM Studios and Vanity Fair Party in Los Angeles the night before the Golden Globes in January. They argue that Jennifer posted the photos with the caption 'GG Weekend Glamour" to enhance her public image and promote her brand. The photos were widely shared by fans and fashion pages and featured her in a white dress and matching faux fur coat outside Chateau Marmont.
The lawsuits assert that Jennifer's use of the images was for self-promotion, highlighting her fashion and brand affiliations.
The lawsuits reportedly said, 'Ms Lopez's unauthorised use of the Images is commercial in nature, intended for the purpose of self-promotion. For example, Ms Lopez used the Images to spotlight the designer of her clothing and jewellery, leveraging the publicity from the event to promote her fashion affiliations and brand partnerships."
This legal action marks the third instance of Jennifer facing similar lawsuits; she was previously sued in 2019 and 2020 for sharing photos without permission. Other celebrities like Dua Lipa, Gigi Hadid, and Khloe Kardashian have also encountered similar issues.
In the past, Jennifer was sued by Splash News and Picture Agency in October 2019 for $150,000 for posting a photo of herself and Alex Rodriguez. In April 2020, photographer Steve Sands sought damages for unauthorized use of his image by Jennifer and her production company, Nuyorican Productions. Most recently, in January 2025, Edwin Blanco and Backgrid USA sued her for sharing unlicensed paparazzi photos from a Hollywood party, asking for up to $150,000 per image.
