Washington, D.C., publicist Wendy Gordon has filed a lawsuit over a series of unflattering photos that the media-gossip site FishbowlDC ran of her, Zoe Tillman reports.
FishbowlDC would post a picture of Gordon, often pulled from Gordon's Facebook page, and "provide a false and humiliating description," Gordon alleged.Gordon's complaint says she isn't a public figure, and the posts "caused injury to her reputation and business interests, and caused her to suffer emotional distress and humiliation." (more...)
The posts – the complaint includes a few examples – would often insinuate that Gordon was sexually promiscuous and actively seeking public attention. Those descriptions were false, Gordon said.
