Hunter Biden is threatening to sue Fox News for defamation and exploitation of his image over hacked ‘sexually explicit’ photos published by the news outlet on its platforms. His legal team says publishing the images violates the majority of states’ laws against the nonconsensual disclosure of sexually explicit images and videos, often referred to as “revenge porn” laws. Publishing explicit photos of someone without their consent? To be honest, I never thought of it in those terms, but I can see how “revenge porn” laws would seem to apply here. In a letter threatening “imminent” legal action against Fox News, Biden’s legal team specifically mentioned Fox News hosts Sean Hannity, Jesse Watters, and Maria Bartiromo. https://twitter.com/axios/status/1784993135946309928 From Axios:
The lawyers also demanded that Fox News take down their special, “The Trial of Hunter Biden” — a six-part mock trial focused on his foreign business dealings.
“While routinely defaming and disparaging Mr. Biden, FOX has simultaneously sought to profit by the unlawful exploitation of Mr. Biden’s image, name, and likeness for commercial purposes and reprehensible dissemination of salacious photographs depicting Mr. Biden,” wrote lawyer Tina Glandian, a partner at Geragos & Geragos.
Glandian also demanded that Fox News hosts update their viewers about the February indictment of Alexander Smirnov, a former informant charged with lying to the FBI about Hunter Biden’s business dealings.
Additionally, Glandian requested that all FoxNews.com articles be updated with an editor’s note. https://twitter.com/Acyn/status/1784983358545834172
