Jennifer Aniston Topless Photos Settled
Jennifer Aniston topless photos story has made quite the splash earlier when some shots that were reportedly of the star were leaked to some web sites. And now the topless photos were pulled by the photographer that snapped the photos in a settlement with the Hollywood star.
Jennifer Aniston and Peter Brandt, the photographer who snapped her semi-nude picture have “mutually agreed on their differences,” reports “Extra.” She has agreed to drop her suit against a photographer in return for a promise he’ll never publish the pictures.
In a lawsuit Aniston filed against Peter Brandt in December last year, she claims he took topless photos of her on her property, taken “covertly from a great distance … using powerful telephoto lenses.” Her lawsuit also claimed that the pictures could only be taken “by means of trespass and/or through the use of an enhancement device,” thereby violating her right to privacy.
The actress and her lawyer, Jay Lavely, also claim that any publisher, media company, Internet operator, or other outlet who publishes or disseminates the photographs will have to pay “substantial monetary damages.”
The photographer Peter Brandt, however, denies that he didn’t trespass in any way, such as climb a tree, in order to get the photos. Brandt says it was not his fault: “She’s the one who went out there topless,” he reportedly said in an interview. “I didn’t go looking for it.” Though he claims — they were not the shots he desired to take — he snapped away, catching the striking all-American girl topless in her backyard. Brandt added that the images were not shot from a mile away, since that would be “impossible…unless you have something from NASA.”
Brandt’s representatives sent out a statement yesterday, in which they wrote, “Even though they were legally obtained (no trees were climbed or trespassing done), Peter pulled the photos from publication.”
During the time the pictures were first released, Aniston claimed she suffered damage to her reputation, personally and professionally, as well as “shame, mortification, hurt feelings, emotional distress, anger, embarrassment, humiliation, feeling of being violated and injury to her privacy and peace of mind” as a result of Brandt’s “despicable conduct.”

In 2002, the former “Friends” star settled a lawsuit in Los Angeles federal court against a men’s magazine publisher that ran photos of her sunbathing topless in her backyard. Aniston reportedly sued Man’s World Publications and Crescent Publishing Group in 2000, claiming the publishers had no right to run a photo of her “reclining topless in her backyard, wearing only her panties,” according to PEOPLE.
