LVBH Partner Sharon Vinick was recently interviewed for an article that just appeared in the Washington Post regarding former cheerleaders of the Washington Football Team who have filed a lawsuit alleging that the team created lewd videos using outtakes from swimsuit calendar photographic sessions. Ms. Vinick, who brought successful wage-theft lawsuits on behalf of cheerleaders against the Oakland Raiders and the New York Jets, discusses the merits of the case as well as the potential hurdles the former cheerleaders face. According to Ms. Vinick, while the women may have signed a release to allow the team use their pictures for the calendar, they may still have a case. “There is no reasonable expectation that when these women are signing away the rights to their images that they signed them away to be sliced and diced into a porn video,” opined Ms. Vinick.
