If you’re not familiar with this Demi Moore fiasco, let me bring you up to speed. “W” magazine published a photo of Demi on their cover, and was called out on it by photographer Anthony Citrano, for her missing a part of her hip.

After calling out the blooper, Anthony received a notice from Demi’s attorney, claiming that he was defaming her and demanded a retraction and apology.

Anthony recently gave us this statement:

Quick update – the image is now up on W Korea’s web site. I hope you all realize this is not about a hip – nor even about being right – this is about defending people’s right to express themselves without fear of being sued and bullied. I was (and accused of lying and defaming) when merely catching a blooper – and saying something that is now provably true. W’s own Korean editors have made that clear.

It has stunned and really saddened me how few people have been able to see that there are serious core issues in play here.

On his website, he says:

The January 2010 issue of W Korea just hit the newsstands (with the ironic subtitle “Women in Full”). Unsurprisingly, they decided to use the excellent Mert & Marcus shot of Demi Moore. But very surprisingly, they installed a new hip on Demi. So: even W’s sister publication thought the image looked weird enough to fix.

Yep, it was definitely strange enough and needed correcting. I wonder if they’ll drop the lawsuit now that they look silly? Oh wait, I didn’t say that, please don’t sue me.
