Sienna Miller sues over topless photos with Balthazar Getty

siennafing.jpg

Sienna Miller is one great big bundle of contradictions. Or a hypocrite, depending on how you want to put it. The woman is barely able to keep her top on. I cannot think of any celebrity whose breasts I’ve seen so often I could pick them out of a lineup. And though she seems physically incapable of keeping her shirt on in public, Sienna Miller is suing over the slew of boobie pics of late – and there have been tons. Taken on multiple occasions.

Sienna Miller is suing two media organizations over the topless photos of her vacationing with new beau Balthazar Getty.

According to London’s The Guardian, she claims photo agency Big Pictures and British tabloids News of the World and the Sun violated her privacy by publishing photos and stories about her new romance.

The suit comes days after Getty announced he and his wife Rosetta (with whom he has four children) have separated. In a statement, the actor said “the breakdown of a marriage is a very difficult and painful experience especially when children are involved.” He added that the photos that “have surfaced in print and on the Internet” have “caused myself and my family great embarrassment.”

[From Us Weekly]

Sienna doesn’t just have a history of walking around al fresco, she also has a long history of suing photographers over it. And winning. I’m not saying the woman doesn’t have a right to privacy. And I’m not saying she shouldn’t be able to walk around topless where it’s legal, if that’s what she wants to do. But it’s just about publicity.

If Miller really didn’t want her nipples splashed across the pages of The Sun, then she should keep them behind a nice peasant top. It’s crazy how that works. If you keep your nipples to yourself, photographers won’t take pictures of them. If you go outdoors and shove them into your boyfriend’s hands, photographers will take pictures of them. It’s a pretty simple equation, really.

I hope this lawsuit gets thrown out. It makes me think of the morbidly obese man who sued Wendy’s restaurants because the booths weren’t large enough for him to sit in. As the judge pointed out, the man was too large for the booths, it wasn’t that the booths are too small. Thus the man was ordered by the judge to lose weight (though I’m not saying that was necessarily an appropriate solution in that case).

Similarly, Sienna seems to have confused the essential issue here. It’s not like photographers were snapping pictures of here walking around inside her house naked. She was outdoors on a boat. And on a deck. And a couple other places. She’s been shirtless so often lately that it’s hard to keep track. The judge should order her to keep her top on in public. Or take it off, for all I care. She just needs to stop complaining about the logical result of her actions.

  1. Please, he was sucking her breasts on a beach, not in the privacy of her home. She is a bit late with her modesty.

  2. It just seems so simple. Keep your shirt on.

    Of course that doesn’t get nearly the publicity that you get when you go around al fresco, let men paw you publicly, and then sue anyone who memorializes it on film.

  3. I didn’t see those pictures, Daisy! Holy crap!

    The person needs to just go away. I can’t stand her, never could, and she’s not improving my opinion of her with all this garbage. She comes off like a real toolshed.

  7. Clueless and talentless. :roll: Love your ‘nice peasant top’ suggestion, JB!

    I’m much more interested in the fat man suing Wendys being told to lose weight by the Judge. Restores my faith in the judiciary system, that does. 8)

  8. You were staring at (and posing) for the camera for goodness sakes. If you’re going to commit fraud and sue someone, the least you can do is pretend to be shocked instead of standing there topless LOOKING RIGHT AT THE CAMERA!!! You can tell that whoever took them was very close. Shame on you. I knew you were a slut, but now you’re in the same category I put Ed McMahon.

  9. Kolby, I am searching my history to find the link to those pics. When I find it, I will post it.
    The beach in those pics was rocky, not sandy and there were other pictures of them in a hammock, if that jars anyone’s memory.

  10. She’s an obsessive exhibitionist, always trying to call attention to herself. I worked with a girl like that once - very pretty and would dress very provocatively. She’d deliberately lean over in loose, revealing tops to show off her boobs, or bend over to flash her pantie-less panouche at guys then get all princess huffy-muff when they gaped at her. Stupid twat….

  11. She’s just saying she’s suing for more attention, as if she’s a huge star and her reputation is being ruined. She’s a dirtbag, and really acts in independent movies, nothing big. I guess if you are getting breast exams and gynocological help from a Getty then maybe it’s not so private, not so sure she has a case. But good luck with that.

  12. yeah…uhh….good luck with that, sienna. even if she wins,which is HIGHLY unlikely, does she really think she will suddenly be redeemed in the eyes of the public? i like how she justifies her scandalousness with “they were separated”. umm……riiiight. also, what about protecting the kids? thats got to be pretty effed up to see your dad cavorting with some random girl naked on the beach.
    man, when i was a kid, i saw lord of the flies and thought he was so hot. boo.

  14. It is an infringement of rights to publish explicit and/or damaging photographs without the subject’s consent.
    Expressing distaste for Miller’s personal choices is one thing, but poo-pooing her right to defend herself against public attack is a different issue altogether.

  16. What bugs me is that I can see the PR wheels turning here–Sienna screwing married man with no consideration for his wife and children (and looks all happy and naked doing it)…Sienna maybe losing career because people think she’s adulterous trash…Sienna makes noise about suing so people MAY feel sorry that her privacy was violated(HAH!), or to suggest that she feels belatedly embarassed…which might possibly redeem her a bit with the public (NOT!!)

  17. OMG, WTF? I have a Vanity Fair issue from a few years ago where she was posing topless. At some point, why sue? Everybody’s already seen that she’s a card-carrying member of the Itty Bitty Titty Committee. Get over yourself, Sienna.

  18. So it was the PICTURES that embaressed the married man and his family… not his actions, huh???

    Report this comment as spam or abuse

  19. Uh…yeah. She’s suing because she fooled around with a married man? Or because she did it out in public? Perhaps it’s because she was out in public nekkid? Or perhaps it was because she allowed her married lover to fondle her nekkid self out in public? It’s certainly NOT because photos of it were shown all across the globe, because, after all, it was in public, she IS a celebrity/attention hoor, and it IS how she makes her money.

    Wait.

    That’s it, isn’t it?

    Don’t you love it when you answer your own questions? :roll:

  20. The News of the World had and article and pictures of them back in June.
    If u dont want yr privates splashed across newspapers, keep them covered and stay away from married men if u dont want the tabloids taking u to task.

  21. did someone just really call this a public attack?
    well, i am glad it was only one person;)
    did you see the photos? she is a celebrity and paparazzi take pictures of her. this is legal.
    so…..are they supposed to hide their cameras and turn their heads because today this celebrity has lost her danged mind! and is cavorting in public places topless with a married man?
    she has a right to defend herself sure, but that does not include pursuing legal action against someone doing their job. she should have thought about the likeliness of a public attack before she stripped down and stole a husband and father. Or she could have just GOT A ROOM!

  23. And there she is, grabbing his crotch, and there they are, lying down on hot black rocks, not posing. at all. How incredibly stupid and shameless can you get?

    Anyway, after this beach trip, it’ll be time to pay the piper. After the expensive divorce settlement, they’ll settle into their pariah personas, get bored with each other, cheat and have a public breakup. How 4ucking boring.

    Meanwhile, his spouse’s attorneys are clicking their pens at 3k a pop.

  25. It’s not just Getty’s wife and kids wh are involved. Wasn’t she madly in love with and LIVING WITH Rhys Ifans only a few weeks ago?! This woman is evil incarnate. Seriously, how many hearts have been broken in all this?

    Also, she is very plain and always looks unwashed. I think she practices voodoo or something. Boggles the mind…

  26. I don’t know why he got angry about this either. People assume that if you’re married to someone then you’re married to them, I would have thought he’d be eager for people to know he was separated from his wife because of all the photos of him and Sienna doing the rounds. And also, if you’re a celebrity and you don’t want pictures of your boobs on the internet, keep your clothes on in public.

  27. It’s easier for celebrities to win cases like this in England. She might have a case with the photos taken of them inside their hotel room and on their balcony. But even those might be mitigated by the fact that she was running around a public beach for days (even after photos started coming out) with the married guy but without a top.

  28. Maybe Rosetta Getty should sue her for alienation of affection..

  29. On another thread, someone made the argument that, because Brad and Angie have sold pics of their kids, therefore they have no right to complain if someone tresspasses on their property to take pictures of their family without permission.
    I was really, really angry about that–not because of it being the Jolie-Pitts, but just the principal of it.
    So, now, having thought it over, much as I thouroughly dislike Sienna Miller, I will say that, while if she is going to go topless on a public beach, then any pictures taken are just too bad, but she does have the right to privacy in her home (or hotel).
    (Whether this applies to the balcony as well, I would say it depends on whether the photographer tresspassed on private property to get the photo or not.)

  30. I fear I´m so often topless at the beach as Sienna Miller - maybe more often. I understand her very well that her top comes down so quick as possible. It´s nothing wrong or immoral at this not being able to keep the top on :roll: - and I think, too, Sienna Miller wouldn´t have had any problems with being photographed topless at the beach (like so many times before).

    I think the core point was that she was photographed in intimate situations with a married father of four children who´s marriage broke down over it. And btw she was topless and is now thinking that it is possible to draw away this pic´s from the public on the topless-sideway - because they´re really able - in opposite to the view of her nude nipple´s - to give her a bad image.

    In my eyes there should be enforced a simple rule: privacy in the private area; publicity in the public area. When a female celebrity is making it out with a married guy at a public beach than the press has a constitutional right to report about it - otherwise this freedom will pass away and we will see and read only censored news.

    If Sienna Miller would have fu..ed Balthazar Getty only in her or his sleeping room it would have been a totally other case.
