France and Bayern Munich midfielder Frank Ribery sues Cnn for $1.5

Footballer Frank Ribery To Sue CNN For $1.5m
France and Bayern Munich midfielder Franck Ribery is seeking
$1.5 million in damages from US cable news channel CNN for
using his image in a story about the death of a woman in a
cryotherapy chamber, his lawyer said on Friday.
CNN ran a story last month,exactly on October 28 about the
death of Chelsea Ake-Salvacion, a 24-year-old American woman
who was found dead in a cryotherapy tank in a Nevada spa.
CNN used a photo showing Franck Ribery’s head while the
footballer used a similar machine, which many high-level
sportsmen often do. An error on the cable network’s part, as
they immediately took down the picture and post but that was
not enough to stop people from noticing.
“It results from this publication that the photograph of Mr.
Franck Ribery has been associated to a woman’s death related
to the cryotherapy treatment,” Ribery’s lawyer Carlo Alberto
Brusa said.
“Mr. Franck Ribery, a world-famous professional soccer player
and former member of the France national soccer team, has
never given his permission and consent to the use of this
photograph — and therefore of his image — related to the
aforesaid publication.”
Brusa said the use of the photo was an “illegal association,
which constitutes an infringement of the personality rights and
the French image right, is a wrongdoing for which you are
responsible and which obliges you to repair all the damages
suffered by Mr. Franck Ribery and his family following this
morbid publication and the public reactions provoked”.
