Model Kate Upton is threatening to take legal action against the owners of a celebrity spoof website after editors posted a fake topless photograph of the beauty online.
Bloggers at Celeb Jihad published a digitally altered picture of the Sports Illustrated star with her breasts exposed under the headline ‘Kate Upton Naked Outtake From SI Swimsuit 2014.’
Upton’s lawyers threatened to sue the site if the post wasn’t taken down immediately.
The site eventually removed the photos, which it originally labeled “boring” and horrible.”
In a related report, TMZ released a leaked video of Upton topless on a horse. Though TMZ was eventually forced to remove it, Celeb Jihad claimed the original photos were screen captures from the video.
This isn’t the first time the website has been legally threatened for editing photographs of alleged celebrities. In 2011, Celeb Jihad claimed to have a topless snapshot of Taylor Swift.
