Judge Closes the Door on Another Photo Lawsuit
In his latest legal triumph, Damon Dash has successfully defended himself in court once again. A federal judge in California has refused to revive a lawsuit from photographer Monique Bunn, who was seeking to reopen a case over alleged misuse of her photo archive. The judge ruled that Bunn’s arguments were a repeat of previously dismissed claims and lacked new evidence to justify reconsideration. This effectively ends her legal pursuit for damages.
The Background
Monique Bunn had initially sued Dash, claiming he kept and used over 100,000 of her photographs without permission after collaborating on a shoot for his fashion brand—seeking an estimated $50 million in damages. Dash countered that the images in question were not even on the CDs at issue. A prior jury found in Dash’s favor, and this latest ruling reaffirms that outcome.
