Jennifer Aniston sues photographer over 'invasive measures'
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Jennifer Aniston is suing a paparazzo, claiming he invaded her privacy by using a telephoto lens to photograph her inside her home when she was topless or partly undressed.
The lawsuit filed Friday in Los Angeles Superior Court alleges that photographer Peter Brandt must have observed Aniston "from a great distance through invasive, intrusive and unlawful measures."
The photos "could have been taken only by means of trespass" and were shot in a place where she had reasonable expectations of privacy, the 36-year-old actress, who starred on NBC's "Friends," claims.
Aniston is seeking monetary damages and a court order to stop Brandt and anyone else from making money from the photos.
Brandt couldn't be reached for comment by the Los Angeles Times. His celebrity photos have appeared in People magazine and the New York Post.
Aniston previously sued a different photographer for allegedly scaling a neighbor's 8-foot wall and photographing her sunbathing topless in her back yard. The photos ran in several publications.
