Jennifer Lopez is being dragged to court over posting a photo of herself on Instagram.

According to court documents filed in New York, a professional photographer Steve Sands who photographed a photo the "Ain't It Funny" singer shared, is suing her with her management over copyright infringement.

The image in question was posted by 50-year-old in 2017 and according to a report by Fox News, Sands is now arguing that it was used without his permission to "promote their brand" to her millions of Instagram followers.

"Defendants did not license the Photograph from Plaintiff for its Website, nor did Defendants have Plaintiff's permission or consent to publish the Photograph on its Website," the lawsuit reads and at the back of it, Sands' legal team is demanding $150,000 settlement.


Sands' attorney, Richard Liebowitz, told the news portal in a statement that: "This is an example of celebrities using photographers photographs without permission to brand themselves on social media.

The comedian says the only way the lockdown order can be fully effective is if the poor are adequately taken care of by the privileged members of society.
