Question

CAN I SUE A MAGAZINE FOR BAD COMMENTS AND PHOTOS?

Status: AWAITING CUSTOMER ACTION

Answer

Hi XXXXXXXXX,
Magazines get sued all the time. Usually one have to prove that the comments were false and resulted in damage to the person commented about (either monetary, or emotional distress). For photos, one usually has to show invasion of privacy (eg. if the pictures were taken in someone private backyard).
