Jennifer Lopez Faces $300K Lawsuit for Posting Photos of Herself Without Authorization

Jennifer Lopez is at the center of a $300,000 lawsuit after sharing two images of herself on social media without securing permission from the copyright holders.

The suit was filed by photographer Edwin Blanco and media agency Backgrid USA, who claim that Lopez posted the copyrighted photos on Instagram and X (formerly Twitter) without authorization. The images, taken during a pre-Golden Globes event in January 2025, were allegedly used to highlight her fashion choices and brand associations.

Although Lopez appears in the photos, U.S. copyright law grants ownership of images to the photographer, not the subject. The plaintiffs argue that the posts served promotional purposes, undercutting any fair use justification.

The case remains open, with Lopez expected to respond by mid-June 2025.
