In November 2006 Vibe magazine featured a photo of women dressed as mermaids in a pool at a P. Diddy party. The photo was captioned "Mermaids Gone Wild." One of the women in the photo, Maria Dominguez, sued P. Diddy and Vibe for photographing her without permission.
Dominguez's $3 million lawsuit was thrown out on September 24, 2008, after a judge ruled that Dominguez was at a highly publicized event where photographers did not need permission.NY Daily News: Maria Dominguez's topless...Lawsuit Against Diddy...(September 24, 2008)
