Actor Brad Pitt doesn’t want anybody publishing pictures of him and his family at their French home.
This warning comes after paparazzi pictures of the movie actor and his family taking a break at their summer sanctuary surfaced on the Internet earlier this week and Pitt found out that the agency behind the snapshots peddled the photographs to tabloids.
Yael Holtkamp, Pitt’s legal representative who served the agency with a cease and desist order, says the photos were taken “surreptitiously” by photographers who had “highly powerful telephoto lenses.”
The images show Pitt with new mother Angelina Jolie, the actor’s parents, and the famous Hollywood couple’s kids playing in the garden of their rented house in France.
Holtkamp claims that the taking of the photos was a “malicious violation” of the actor’s privacy rights under both California and French laws.
The agency behind the photos has agreed to discontinue selling them and the images have been taken down from its website.
Pitt and Jolie have allegedly sold exclusive picture rights to the first photos of their twins to a US publication for $11 million, which the couple would give to charity.
