Diddy wins naked picture court case

A New York judge dismissed a $3 million suit by Maria Kristina Dominguez over a topless photo published in Vibe alongside an article on Diddy.

Sean Diddy Daddy Doddy Combs has triumphed in court this week, as a New York judge dismissed a suit brought against him by a woman who took exception to the fact that a picture of her, topless at a party held by the rapper, was published in Vibe magazine. Hedge fund manager Maria Kristina Dominguez sued the magazine, and Combs, for $3 million after the image, featuring three bare breasted women, and captioned "Mermaids Gone Wild," was published alongside an article on Combs. Her complaint hinged on the fact that she had not given permission for the photograph's publication, but the judge seems to have ruled that she had basically had no right to privacy in this case. She's apparently reviewing her options.
