The answer to that is no.
She has lots and lots of money. Hiring a lawyer to run a defamation/IP lawsuit like this will be nothing at all to her or her management company.
And the more she sues, the more she's in the news. Free publicity!
What I've found with a few discussions I've had lately is this self-satisfaction that people express with their proffessed open mindedness. In realty it ammounts to wilful ignorance and intellectual cowardice as they are choosing to not form any sort of opinion on a particular topic. Basically "I don't know and I'm not going to look at any evidence because I'm quite happy on this fence."

The Net is best considered analogous to communication with disincarnate intelligences. As any neophyte would tell you. Do not invoke that which you have no facility to banish.

how is publishing pictures defamation ? either she did look like that when the picture was taken or she didn't A public figure can't sue someone for taking an unflattering picture .

That is how I'd defend it.
But then there is the intellectual property in the photos. That belongs to the person who took the photos, or to the person who contracted with the photographer to take them,(if the photographer gave up the IP rights).
FUCKERPUNKERSHIT!

Let us think the unthinkable, let us do the undoable, let us prepare to grapple with the ineffable itself, and see if we may not eff it after all.
