Obituary? Russian Model Enraged After Her Picture Is Used As Tombstone Ad. (Pix) by nellyelitz(m): 7:39am On Sep 21, 2014
A former Miss Russia is suing a Moscow graphic design company for using her face to promote tombstones emblazoned with photographs.
Horrified Irina Antonenko, 23, found dozens of photos of herself in a catalogue showing different types of headstones and memorial plaques.
But it was the date of death emblazoned over the headstones that really sent chills down the 2010 title winner’s spine.
The former Miss Universe contestant found out about the catalogue when a fan saw the snaps and posted them online.
Irina said: “I was then sent the pictures on my phone and it was like something from a horror film. Picture after picture showing me dead and buried.
“I’m always happy to do more photo modelling but not like this.”
Lawyers working for the former beauty queen have contacted the funeral parlour, that said the images and artwork had been provided by a local graphic design firm.
They have now obtained a court order against the graphic design company instructing them to destroy all the images and withdraw them from public distribution.
Business owner Isaac Borodin said he had been asked to produce the catalogue by a firm of funeral directors and had no idea who the girl in the photo was that his staff had selected from a picture library.
He said: “I don’t watch beauty contests and I didn’t know she was famous.”
“I just thought it was a pretty girl, and as I had the chance to use the copyright assumed it was OK.”
