The New York Daily News used the wedding photos to humiliate the bride and her “close-knit Italian-American family” by publishing them with headlines like “Mob Wife Whines” and “Guilty goon’s wife learns it’s not easy being married to the mob.” The bride claims the New York Daily News violated her privacy by selling the photos.
Paula Pipitone sued JoVon Fine Art Photography – but not the Daily News – in Queens County Court. She claims the studio “received some form of consideration from the Daily News in exchange for copies of Ms. Pipitone’s wedding pictures.”
In 2009, Pipitone, whose real name is Paula Biancaniello, wed Vito Pipitone, a reputed member of the Bonanno dynasty. She claims that under the terms of her contract with the wedding photographers, JoVon was only permitted to use the images “for advertising reasons” and not for resale. “Vito Pipitone, whose Hawaiian honeymoon was interrupted by a federal indictment in Brooklyn, was sentenced to 3½ years Tuesday despite an impassioned plea for leniency from his wife.
She asserts that she, along with her “immediate and extended family,” have been “placed in shock” by the media inquiries and other consequences of the images’ release in print and online.
She continues, “Defendant’s use of Plaintiff’s photos is for trade and commerce, in conjunction with defendant’s sale of photographs and advertising of its business, and is not related to newsworthy events.”
