Model Sues Jewelry Company, Saying Ad Makes Her Look Lewd
Thursday, January 03, 2008
NEW YORK — A model who says she has worked hard to maintain a wholesome image has filed a $5 million lawsuit complaining that a jewelry company's video advertisement in which she writhes and moans looks pornographic.
The commercial, seen on the Internet in a clip entitled "Rock Her World," shows a woman wearing blue lacy lingerie and a diamond necklace while moaning and stroking her face and neck. It ends with the Web address for the jewelry company, Szul.com.

The 37-year-old woman claims in her lawsuit that she did not "consent to or authorize the use of her likeness, picture, image or name to simulate a female having an orgasm or otherwise experiencing sexual pleasure."
"Indeed, the music to the commercial is bump-and-grind burlesque type music, which further provides the advertisement with a decidedly pornographic look, feel and sound," states the lawsuit, which was filed Monday in Manhattan's state Supreme Court.
The plaintiff, identified only as Jane Doe, says in court papers she won the role in the commercial for Szul Jewelry Inc. in November. She says the idea was that an average guy would get a woman excited by putting a necklace on her.

Sounds like the standard pre-nup to me.
This could be a fantastic ploy to get the ad ten time the number of views it would get otherwise.
“I’ll have what she’s having.”
Yeah, usually rolling around a bed moaning and touching yourself in lingerie will do that to a person. Go figure.
later view.
I kinda think she made herself look like a ho, but thats just me.
BINGO!
Sounds like the standard pre-nup to me.
Several thousand married guys just smiled at that.
Works for me.
OMG, it’s the Huckabee Maneuver!!!!
;-)
What a bimbo....surely she was paid, surely she signed a release form, surely if she had any issues she would have raised them before donning lingerie and acting like a whore. Surely this is a nuisance law suit and surely, I hope she loses and any money she was paid for “modeling” goes straight into her ambulance chasing attorney’s pocket.
bttt
It works better than picking fleas and lice from her back. Male Monkeys 'Pay' Females for Sex, Study Finds.
"He asked her to keep repeating the action until he thought he got the most authentic looking film piece," they say.
MMMmmm-K. Just what *did* she thing she was filming when asked to lay down and "fake excitement"? If this is not her idea of an orgasm then I'd say she has a great opportunity in front of her.
This thread is worthless without pics....
Wasn’t the time to think about how it would appear when she was performing for the camera? Well, she wasn’t hired for her brains.
Call me crazy, but wasn’t she paying attention during the filming? If she had objections, she could have chosen not to do the ad. Bogus lawsuit.
Hence the likely reason this is just a marketing ploy.
