An Alabama woman is seeking legal advice on Reddit after she says her father-in-law entered an art show with a series of nude paintings of her.

“So, a while ago, my (24F) father-in-law (60M) asked me if he can use me as an inspiration for a series of paintings he’s been working on,” the woman posted Tuesday on the legal advice subReddit.

“He said it was about on goddess of beauty, Aphrodite, and he said it’ll be an honor to get inspiration from me because he thinks I’m beautiful.”

“I was flattered, and I told him as long as it’s artful and not like a portrait, it was fine,” she continued.

“…And he promised me it would be artistic, and I have nothing to worry about. So, I forgot about it for a while.”

But last week, when her father-in-law invited her and her husband to come see the paintings, she was met with what she called a “violating” sight.

“The paintings were very accurate and explicit depictions of me naked,” she wrote.

“And it wasn’t just ‘inspiration,’ but accurate down to not just my face and how I look, but details of how my body looked like even how my private parts looked, a mole I have on my bottom, and more.”

After some questioning, she found out how her husband’s father was able to paint her so accurately.

“Apparently, my husband was in it too, and he ‘consulted’ his father in the process, so they can be as accurate or perfect they can be,” she wrote.

“And he thought this was a grand romantic gesture.”

She said her horror only grew upon finding out that her father-in-law had submitted the series to a “pretty big regional art show.”

“I demanded to pull out from the show and destroy all the paintings,” she wrote.

“But my father-in-law keeps saying he won’t have time to repaint, and he doesn’t know if the committee will even take repainted work.”

“So, he says he will see if they’ll accept partial repaint and tweak my face a little, but he’ll have to leave most of the paintings the same (my hair color, body, and all),” she continued.

“I don’t get how could they ever think that this was appropriate or that I’d be honored or find this romantic. And it is really hard to convince him when my husband is on the same boat as his father.”

So, she has turned to the internet to see if there’s a legal way to stop the paintings being shown.

The post has received over 100 responses, with several people suggesting she pursue legal action based on privacy laws or publicity laws regarding use of a person’s likeness.

“Consult a lawyer about likeness and publicity rights,” one wrote.

“Your likeness is being used in an art show – a commercial endeavor. You haven’t consented to this use and the work is recognizable as you.”

“You should consult a lawyer on this, but it might be an avenue that can help you,” they continued.

“I am not a lawyer in Alabama, but from what I can find, Alabama has strong privacy protections, see Alabama Criminal Code 13A-6-240 and the Alabama Right of Publicity Act,” reads another top comment.

“You could (1) make a police report about the criminal violation of your privacy, and (2) get a lawyer to seek an injunction and damages under the civil statute. You didn’t ask about your marriage, but seeing a divorce attorney also seems appropriate here.”

The comment was later edited to add, “your father-in-law will undoubtedly argue that his art is protected by the First Amendment, but if you are identifiable in the paintings and you can prove private details that must have come from intimate photos, that could overcome his First Amendment rights.”

“It is at least worth talking to an attorney,” it says.

Others suggested she reach out to the art gallery and ask them not to show the paintings.

“Frankly, talking to the gallery is likely your most expedient route: while you should ABSOLUTELY talk to a lawyer, going to the gallery and saying, ‘This guy is publicly displaying my nude image without my consent or permission and against my stated will’ will likely get this guy pulled,” one comment reads.

The poster wrote yesterday that she contacted the committee of the art show, “but they said there is nothing much they can do for me.”

She has commented since to say she will be reaching out to them again.

And other commentors had some additional suggestions about her marriage moving forward.

“If I were in your shoes, that would be a no-questions-asked dealbreaker, and I’d also be talking to a divorce attorney, but that’s a call only you can make,” one woman wrote.

“File for divorce, and subpoena those paintings as exhibit A,” said another commentor.
