Jennifer Lopez Sued Over $150,000 Paparazzi Photos of Herself at Party

Jennifer Lopez faces a $150,000 lawsuit after sharing photos of herself at a Vanity Fair and Amazon MGM Studios party. The images, snapped by Edwin Blanco, show Lopez in a white dress and faux fur coat, but copyright law leaves her fans asking, “Whose selfie is it anyway?”
Lopez’s post promoted her brand deals, but the photographer and agency claim she owes hefty damages. Celebrity photo lawsuits surged in 2024, with stars like Dua Lipa sued for similar infractions. Fashion posts on Instagram now risk legal entanglements, even for A-listers in white fur.
Backgrid and Blanco demanded nearly $300,000 for two Instagram photos—enough to buy 1,200 faux fur coats at last week’s sale prices.
