Brenda Song Sues Over Escort Ad - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Suite Life of Zack & Cody star Brenda Song is launching a legal battle for $100,000 in compensation after her photograph was used to advertise an escort service.

Disney star Song, 20, was stunned to discover her head shot in the L.A. Weekly newspaper last week, accompanying an advert offering her services as a prostitute.

The ad read, "Hawaiin (sic) beauty. Come get lei'd."

After it was uncovered last week a Disney representative told TMZ.com, "This is an unauthorized use of Brenda Song's image and her personal attorney has issued a cease and desist to the advertiser."

Now Song has filed suit at Los Angeles Superior Court against the company supposedly responsible for the advert, Vibe Media. She says, "In filing suit, I hope to prevent this company from doing this again to anyone else."

I haven't heard anything on this since the lawsuit was announced, but it looks like it had to have been an open and shut case from here.
