01/05: Fox Searchlight, State Street Pictures and Bad Boy Films Sued Over Billboard Featured in "Notorious"
Danielle Canada at Hip Hop Wired reports that Fox Searchlight, State Street Pictures and Bad Boy Films have all been sued by billboard model Angelyne, who claims that one of the billboards with her picture on it was featured for 12 seconds in the film, without her permission.
She says that this has caused her a "loss of reputation and standing in the community" and is seeking $100,000 in damages.
Thanks
