A former Playboy model is suing U.K. electronics retailer Carphone Warehouse after a staffer who was supposed to be transferring her cell phone data to a new phone stole naked pictures of her off the device and tried to sell them to a newspaper.
Danielle Lloyd wants about $75,000 in damages from the Carphone Warehouse, half of which was purchased by Best Buy in May 2008 for $2.1 billion.
The pictures were “very private,” Lloyd’s lawyer told The Register. The photos were never sold, and the employee in question has since been fired.
Lloyd is best known in the U.K. for having to give up her Miss Great Britain title after it was revealed that had posed for Playboy–and had an affair with one of the contest’s judges. She now makes a living as a “glamour model” — a U.K. term for the topless models featured in tabloid publications.
