Monica Hansen is a 6’1″ tall Norwegian model who has been a cover girl for Maxim, Stuff and Esquire magazine. The attractive blonde, named Maxim Woman of the Year 2006, is suing her breast implant surgeon for the illegal use of her image as a means of drumming up business.
According to the suit, Dr. Leonard M. Hochstein used photos of his former patient to advertise on his website lhochsteinmd.com. The pics have since been taken down but according to Ms Hansen, the damage is done. She didn’t give him permission and she has filed court documents in a legal effort to be properly compensated for the ethical breach.
UPDATE: Hansen was awarded a default judgment of $564,555, but the good doctor is appealing the verdict. He has apparently been able to pull together several e-mail messages that Hansen sent to a Miami madam Michelle Braun. The messages reportedly will prove that he had permission from Hansen to use her photos on his website.
