‘Blue Bloods’ Star Bridget Moynahan Legally Battles Photographer Ex From Showcasing Personal Nude Photos


This year has been intense for female celebrities when it comes to the exposure of personal nude pictures. Previously, personal nude pics being exposed to the world in isolated incidents, usually due to losing a personal electronic device. Vanessa Hudgens is a prime example of this situation, which resulted in her nude pictures being distributed online after her phone was hacked. Other stars have suffered the same fate, such as Ashley Greene, on occasion.

Then earlier this year, the biggest release of hacked photos ever spread across the internet, much to the disdain female celebrities. The Inquisitr reported heavily on this situation known as “The Fappening.” Arguably, the most famous victim of that leak was Jennifer Lawrence. In the wake of “The Fappening,” another actress is fighting to make sure her nude photos aren’t seen by the public eye. What is unique about this situation is that the photos weren’t hacked and the actress willfully posed for the man who wants to release them to the world: her ex-boyfriend, who also happens to be a professional photographer.

Bridget Moynahan
Bridget Moynahan posed in a total of 1,100 photos, some described as “erotic.”

According to Page Six and Daily Mail, Bridget Moynahan, famous for her breaking role in Coyote Ugly, and currently starring in Blue Bloods, is in a heated legal battle with her ex-boyfriend, photographer James “Tiff” Pemberton. The reason for the battle is that Tiff is planning on setting up an art display of photographed nudes of Bridget which were snapped more than a decade ago.

Bridget Moynahan and Tiff Pemberton were dating when the photos were taken. At the time, Maynahan wasn’t as popular as she was now, but it was also during that time she would star in a role that is recognized as the breakthrough in her career, Coyote Ugly. Their relationship lasted three years, resulting in hundreds of photos of Bridget nude, some of them which are described as “erotic.”

Tiff Pemberton also insists that all 1,100 photos of Bridget Moynahan are professionally done and she gladly participated in the shoots. However, that was then. When it comes to the present, Bridget is working hard to keep a positive image intact. This was verified in a threatening letter by Bridget’s attorney to Tiff.

“Ms. Moynahan has spent her career making sure she did not do images like the photos for any public use/release, and even turned down movies with gratuitous nudity because always had her family in mind. The private photos of her taken during the course of your romantic relationship were intended solely for her and your private personal review.”

“Irrespective of any rights to privately personally look at the photos yourself (which we understand does not go over well with your fiancé), our client certainly never legally consented to the public use of her image and name.”

Despite Tiff Pemberton saying he and Bridget Moynahan remained friends after their relationship, he balked at the letter by Bridget’s attorney.

“Attacking you for the rights to your work is wrong. It’s a statement about what a celebrity will do squash what they don’t want out there.”

What do you think about Bridget Moynahan’s situation? Who do you think is right? Bridget Monyahan for the protection of her image, or Tiff Pemberton for the right to express his art?
