Today, my mother-in-lawyer threatened to sue me unless I took my professional wedding photographs off Facebook, as she didn't like that they made her look fat. She is over 300 pounds. FML

You can use a feature on Facebook that blocks a certain person from viewing a specific picture. Try that maybe?

If she doesn't like looking fat then maybe she should lay off the doughnuts and invest in a gym membership. Unless she has a medical condition, of course.

Even if she has a medical condition, she should lay off of the doughnuts. No one gets to 300 pounds without some seriously bad eating habits.

There is this woman I work with who was holding a box of homemade doughnuts while complaining to me about how hard it is to lose weight, and that she needed to "try cardio" because that would "help her get ready for beach season." People these days....

Less than 1% of people who are obese, are obese due to a medical condition, so I highly ******* doubt that.

You should threaten to tag her in the photo!

Just crop her out of the photos. Hopefully she was standing near the edge.

I think it would be way funnier if she were in the middle. Just leave a huge white blob in the picture

That's terrible. And like someone previously said: don't allow her to view those photos. I think that is incredibly selfish of her, sorry OP.

Just out-strategize her. She never said you couldn't put them on Flickr!

#21, not so fast! Have you ever cropped a fattie out of a photo? You have to put in a truck, or a boulder or a big, topiary shrub in to fill in the hole.

Or you could just put someone else's head on her body. Easier than working a boulder into the wedding decor :)

It's hard to "crop out" a water buffalo!

She doesn't have any legal recourse unless the photographer was trespassing on her property to take the pictures, the pictures contain something inherently illegal, the pictures were taken with a view to slander or defamation, or you intend to use the pictures for commercial purposes. I am guessing since they are your wedding photos none of those scenarios apply.

she can sue because legally if someone dpes not want their picture online, they can pull it down. that's why schools require parent's permission in case they take a picture, put it on their yearbook/website

"It makes me look fat" is slander/defamation in American courts nowadays. OP had better watch out or the settlement payment will look like an alimony check.

I believe that isn't an issue here as she willingly posed for a picture. You only sign a waiver for minors as they are not adults yet. Besides, I'm sure everyone knew these wedding pictures would end up viewed by somebody. Might as well sue the photographer for putting them in his portfolio. Most need examples of their work to get new clients.

@48 We aren't talking about minors here. That is an entirely different rule book. The OP does not need her mother-in-law's consent to post her wedding pictures, even if her mother-in-law is in them.

@54 Slander (or libel) requires that the statements made be untrue. Defamation requires malice. There is nothing untrue or malicious about wedding photos.

as #60 said that isn't slander. Even if she claimed it was, having an expert witness (doctor) in court say she was obese would ruin her case.

I was using the school thing as an example, but maybe that's just my area. Even if you're posing for the picture, if you don't want your picture published, they have to take it down because then they are eligible for a lawsuit

I have actually seen a lot of cases where people pose for picture but refuse them to be posted anywhere. It's a waste of everyone's time but it still happens

I'm assuming this woman doesn't own any mirrors? sorry OP. at least, judging from 22's comment, she can't actually do anything except continue being a crazy bitch.

And what lucky mirrors they are.
