Famous United States actress and singer Jennifer Lopez has been sued for $300,000 for allegedly posting copyrighted images from the 2025 Golden Globes without permission.

Lopez turned heads on January 5, on the red carpet at the prestigious awards ceremony, wearing a stunning white gown and a white faux fur coat.

She shared five photos from the event on her social media accounts, captioning them “GG Weekend Glamour.”

The photos which drew the attention of her fans and the media outlets, saw them widely resharing the images.

However, photographer Edwin Blanco and his agency Backgrid have filed a lawsuit against Lopez, claiming she violated copyright laws by posting two pictures without authorisation.

The plaintiffs seek $150,000 per image, totalling $300,000 in damages.

In the lawsuit, Blanco and Backgrid argued that Lopez used the photos for commercial self-promotion, highlighting her fashion and jewellery designers to boost her brand partnerships.

“Ms Lopez’s unauthorised use of the Images is commercial in nature, intended for the purpose of self-promotion,” the lawsuit reads.

“For example, Ms Lopez used the Images to spotlight the designer of her clothing and jewellery, leveraging the publicity from the event to promote her fashion affiliations and brand partnerships.”

According to the lawsuit, Backgrid and Blanco previously contacted Lopez’s representatives, who agreed to a deal and payment, but the singer has yet to sign the agreement.

This is not Lopez’s first legal battle over photo rights. In 2019 and 2020, she faced similar lawsuits for sharing images other photographers took without permission.
