Even every time she made an appearance, someone would hold up enlarged nude photos to mock her.
Photographer Tommy, by selling the photos to Penthouse magazine, earned a few hundred thousand dollars, and Penthouse, by publishing her photos in the magazine, made twenty-six million in a single issue.
Only she herself was injured, her Miss United State America title revoked, all her endorsement deals lost, with damages amounting to millions.
And the American film and television industry shut her out, they didn't dare offer her work, fearing that her unhealthy, imperfect image would provoke audience complaints and negatively affect their companies.
She tried to sue Penthouse, for publishing the photos without her permission, but the other party presented a model release form, the ownership of the photos did not belong to her, the model, and the photographer had the right to sell them. Penthouse had purchased the photos and also had the right to publish them.
