I’m not buying her pain and suffering for a second. She’s just trying to cash in.
A Georgia woman is suing her former high school district for using a photo of her wearing a bikini that she uploaded on Facebook to caution students about social media reports ABC News.
Chelsea Chaney, now a University of Georgia student in Athens, was a high school senior at Starr's Mill High School in Fayetteville, Ga., when a photo of her wearing the red bikini and posing next to a cardboard cutout of rapper Snoop Lion appeared on a school-wide presentation about sharing too much online.
The slideshow, titled "Internet Safety," was created by Curtis R. Cearley, director of technology for Fayette County Public Schools, according to Chaney's lawsuit.
She is suing the school district for $2 million, citing invasion of privacy, libel and defamation, among other things.
Chaney referred questions to her lawyer.
"The photo was used without Chelsea's permission and it was chosen because she is a very attractive girl who was in a bikini, something that can be easily twisted and used as an example of how one humiliates themselves on the Internet," said Pete Wellborn, Chaney's attorney.
