Brad Pitt Considering Filing Lawsuit Against Vanity Fair

We have all seen the blue Vanity Fair cover featuring Brad Pitt in his boxers soaking wet. Well, did you know that picture was taken in 2005? Brad Pitt was fuming when he saw that they dug up the old photo and used it for their November issue. After all, that’s not who he is anymore. Now let’s play a little he said, he said according to TMZ:
Vanity Fair Reps:
“In a letter dated October 5, 2006, and sent to Pitt care of Brillstein-Grey [Pitt's managers], Wilson informed Pitt that a still image from his portrait was going to be featured in the December art issue of Vanity Fair.Brad Pitt posed for a Robert Wilson video portrait, and in the photo release (signed by Pitt), agreed to allow Wilson to use the portrait or any images from that sitting in connection with any publicity on Wilson’s video project. Vanity Fair decided to do a story on Wilson’s video portraits and obtained rights to the entire collection of photographs from those sittings, which included Pitt’s.”
Brad Pitt’s Reps:
“We are very disappointed that Vanity Fair has chosen to put an unauthorized cover on their magazine. It seriously makes me question their integrity and motives.”
I’m not sure if Brad Pitt has a legal leg to stand on. But then again, I’m not a high-paid lawyer. So let’s just watch this bad boy unfold.
