It what may yet be a theme, we follow the news of Lindsay Lohan’s ’stolen’ sex tape with a report that the star of ABC’s ‘Greek,’ Jesse has a sexy photo now floating around.It seems a bitter ex-girlfriend of the 22-year old singer now has the pic – which apparently shows Jesse lying on a bed, wearing nothing but a candy G-string – and is now hawking it around every down-market tabloid and blog in a lurid campaign to score a fast buck.
But the Post says Jesse has now unleashed his lawyers; His chief legal eagle, Sawn Chapman Holley has sent out a ‘Cease and Desist’ letter, threatening doom and destruction on anyone who dares use the photo.
“A person is attempting to circulate a nude photo which purports to be Mr. McCartney,” says Ms Holley. “Mr. McCartney was unaware of the taking of this alleged photo, did not knowingly participate in the taking of it, and certainly did not consent to that act.”
And in a curious twist, her letter continues;
“In addition, the alleged photo of Mr. McCartney appears to have been manipulated and doctored by computer software.”
‘Alleged’ means you’ve heard it, but can’t prove it. So how can something whose truth you can’t prove also ‘appear’ to have been manipulated?….If it’s ‘alleged’ you can’t have seen it to know that?
Deftly avoiding any clarification of this pretzel-like logic, Ms. Holley then concludes by stating that publication of the…ahem!..“alleged” picture, “would be a grave invasion of Mr. McCartney’s privacy,” and that she will gladly pursue any such use, with the goal of securing “substantial monetary damages.”
Mr. McCartney and his reps must be rubbing their hands…
