Reality TV personality Khloe Kardashian is facing a lawsuit for sharing an unlicensed photo on Instagram.
Photo agency Xposure Photos claims that on September 14, 2016, the 32-year-old used one of the agency’s photographs without permission, reports a website.
According to court documents, the photo agency has accused Khloe and her team of removing copyright credit from the photo before she posted it on her social media account. The company is now demanding $150,000 in damages.
The company said in a statement: “Kardashian’s Instagram post made the photograph immediately available to her nearly 67 million followers and others, consumers of entertainment news – and especially news and images of Kardashian herself, as evidenced by their status as followers of Kardashian – who would otherwise be interested in viewing licensed versions of the photograph in the magazines and newspapers that are plaintiff’s customers.” (IANS)
