expatriadoout of the loop? thanks
AndyThe guy in the bottom is the rapper Afroman. He’s most known for the song “Because I got high”.
He lives in Ohio. Police raided his house looking for pot (probably because they they took his song seriously, which they shouldn’t have). He made a series of music videos using security footage complaining that they fucked up his house and broke shit for no reason at all, and the local police were so outraged and hurt by the public anger towards them that they sued Afroman for defamation for over a million dollars. The picture is from his court case, where a jury told them that was fucking bonkers, and agreed completely with his defense that he didn’t hurt their reputation by lying: they hurt their reputation by doing terrible shit on camera to an artist who told people what they did.
I get it but it’s sad that this is what the internet knows her for. She’s a great singer, albeit nuts.
I’m guessing that’s Barbara Streisand? No clue what she did, but I’ve heard she’s a shitty person who tried to hide something so the internet blew it up?
It was her house. A photographer posted aerial photos of her house with her name and the town attached and she tried to get it taken down because she considered it a violation of her privacy.
In 2003, the American singer and actress Barbra Streisand sued the photographer, Kenneth Adelman, and Pictopia.com for US$50 million for violation of privacy.[4][5][6] The lawsuit sought to remove Image 3850, labeled as “Streisand Estate, Malibu”, an aerial photograph in which Streisand’s mansion was visible, from the publicly available California Coastal Records Project of 12,000 California coastline photographs. As the project’s goal was to document coastal erosion to influence government policymakers, privacy concerns of homeowners were deemed to be of minor or no importance.[7][8][9][10][11]
Here’s the picture. I don’t know why you’re making up bullshit.
Is that not her house?
And a hundred others. In public view. Not showing anything private. That was in a public database. That she sued someone for $50M because she didn’t like the criticism that she was callous to the environment.
Obvious nuisance SLAPP lawsuit.
Hope those billionaire boots taste good, at least.
I can see both sides. I wouldn’t want my name publicly attached to a photo of my house either. Though I guess everything’s out there if you go hunting.
One of the things they were suing Afroman for was literally invasion of privacy after they broke into his house and went through all of his stuff. They had the nerve to sue him for invasion of privacy. wtf
They raided his house because they thought for some reason he had a bunch of kidnapping victims there
