Williams says she owns photographs
By United Press International
WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. — A lawyer for former Miss America Vanessa Williams said yesterday the deposed beauty queen owned the sexually explicit photos of her that appeared in Penthouse magazine and should be naid for their publication.
Williams, who resigned in July after it was learned the photos were to be published, sued photographer Tom Chiapell in state Supreme Court Friday, but lawyers declined to reveal details until yesterday.
Her lawyer, Helenie Freeman, said the suit seeks damages in "excess of $10,000," with a jury to set the exact amount.
The suit claims the pictures were published "without consent or written authorization," a charge denied by Penthouse.
Williams, 21, of Milwood, N.Y., also wants to be paid the money that Chiapel received from Penthouse for selling the pictures. Chiapel was paid what Penthouse called the highest sum ever for such photos.
It also claims the photos caused Williams "great distress, humiliation, exposure to public ridicule and loss of extremely valuable business opportunities."
"The suit seeks to impose 'constructive trust' on the photos, said Freeman. "That she has them and they belong to her, that no one else can publish them."
