Ariana Grande sued for posting a picture of herself on Instagram
Ariana Grande is one of the most followed people on Instagram.
It’s pretty safe to say she knows how to ‘Gram better than anyone.
But she may have made a pretty big mistake.
According to Buzzfeed News, Ari is being sued.
For posting a picture of herself on Insta.
Okay. It’s more complicated than that.
Basically, this post:
Was a photo that was not taken by Ari or anyone in her camp.
It was taken by one of the Paparazzi, a guy named Robert Barbara.
Who, technically, legally owns that photo.
So he’s suing Ariana for either the money she made on the post…
Or $25,000…
FOR EACH PICTURE
According to the lawsuit:
“[Ari] is not, and has never been, licensed or otherwise authorized to reproduce, publically [sic] display, distribute and/or use the Photographs.”
Pretty silly that she can’t post a photo of herself…
But honestly, this copyright stuff is pretty standard when it comes to the Paparazzi.
She probably should have known better.
