UFC Octagon Girl Arianny Celeste and 24 other professional models filed a lawsuit today in the Southern District of New York against Diamond Club Gentlemen's Cabaret, Lace Gentlemen's Club, and Stiletto's for false endorsement, deceptive trade practices, defamation, negligence, and unjust enrichment.
According to the complaint, the models brought the action against Defendants for "theft, alteration, and unauthorized publication of sexually suggestive images of Plaintiffs, each of whom are world renowned professional models, in order to promote their strip clubs..."
Celeste and the other models further allege that their images were misappropriated, intentionally altered, and used "in order to make it appear that they worked at or endorsed Show Palace and/or Sin City. In the case of each and every Plaintiff, such appearance was false." The Complaint goes on to allege that "the implication of Defendants' use of Plaintiffs' Images is that they are each strippers."
