Somebody who took a photograph of Mandy Moore with out her permission is suing Mandy Moore for posting that picture with out permission. You following? We weren’t both. Fortunately the team over at E! News is breaking it down for us: Photographer Josiah Kamau has filed a lawsuit towards the This Is Us star for alleged copyright infringement, accusing her of reproducing and publicly displaying a image he took of her with out permission.

This all apparently stems from an Instagram Story Moore posted final week that included a screenshot of a particularly very important 2019 Every day Mail article titled “Mandy Moore stuns in purple and blue striped gown for Nationwide Stripes Day occasion with J Crew.” The story included a shot Kamau had taken of the actress, who was certainly beautiful within the aforementioned striped gown. Moore had been moved to put up the screenshot after getting amusing out of the picture caption: “American lady: The This Is Us actress regarded patriotic as she dressed for the occasion in an attractive two-piece purple and blue striped gown tied right into a knot on the waist with a FRAME denim jacket.” No phrase on why she was a narrative from final June.
