KATY PERRY SUED BY A PHOTO AGENCY FOR POSTING A PICTURE OF HERSELF ON HER INSTAGRAM: Katy Perry is being sued for posting a picture of herself. The 35-year-old singer has been hit with a lawsuit by photo agency Backgrid for posting a paparazzi picture of herself in her Halloween costume as Hillary Clinton in 2016. Three years later, she’s been hit with a lawsuit for $150,000 according to paperwork filed on Tuesday, which claims that she violated federal law by posting the picture. The lawsuit also states that they attempted to contact Katy’s reps about the “infringement” multiple times from 2017 to the beginning of this month, and Katy’s camp did not pay for the licensing of the photo.
