"Girls Gone Wild"
The Smoking Gun ^ | 7/2/2003 | staff

Posted on 07/02/2003 7:15:51 PM PDT by sjersey

In May 1999, Michelle Padilla, her boyfriend, and their cronies headed for some R&R at California's Lake Havasu, one of the West's leading spring break/party havens. One afternoon, while Padilla--then a 23-year-old single mom--was chilling on the deck of a boat, she was greeted with the standard exhortation to, you know, "SHOW US YOUR T***." Padilla, understandably, responded by pulling down the top of her blue bikini and flashing the appreciative crowd. What she didn't know at the time was that her act was being filmed by a "Girls Gone Wild" crew. As a result, Padilla's breast flash has been included in a "Girls Gone Wild" video and DVD, and she can be seen on the firm's web site and in its pop-up advertising (in the photo of the DVD cover at right, Padilla can be seen with the words "All Real" superimposed on her chest). In a federal lawsuit filed last week--an excerpt of which you'll find below--Padilla charges that the "Girls Gone Wild" gang has invaded her privacy and, as a result, she is seeking an injunction barring further sale or distribution of the offending video and DVD. Lisa Cervantes, Padilla's lawyer, told TSG that her client is "not in the habit of doing things like that." She added that Padilla, now 27, has since married and is the stepmother of her husband's two sons, ages 14 and 11. The boys, Cervantes said, have heard "rumors" at school about their stepmom's "Girls Gone Wild" appearance. (5 pages)

Understandably ? Exactly WHEN did this become 'understandable' behaviour ?

Used to be you had to date a women for a few months to see them. Now they just flash them upon request ??

WTF, over.

Michelle Padilla deserves no sympathy...she apparently is unable to learn if she did it four times.

Well, shoot, what did she expect, flashing her boobies in public?

If she weren't making a fuss about it, no one would even know it was her.

The real relevant issue is "23-year old, single mom".

I don't think she had a resonable expectation of privacy. This is not the same as if she had been topless sunbathing in her own backyard or on private property and was caught via a telephoto lens.

It's for the $$$. She could care less about being embarrassed.
