 Disney starlet Brenda Song has reached a tentative settlement in her libel suit against a company who purportedly used her image in a newspaper advertisement for an escort service without taking her permission.
Needless to mention Brenda never would have agreed to have her photo appear alongside the slogan, "Hawaiin [sic] beauty. Come get lei'd." However these advertisements for Cityvibe.com appeared in numerous April 2008 editions of the L.A. Weekly.
This twenty year old The Suite Life of Zack & Cody actress has launched her complaint against Vibe Media Inc. and its owner, Ali Askari, in Los Angeles Superior Court on 25th April, 2008, thereby seeking over 100,000 dollars as damages for libel, intentional infliction of emotional distress and commercial misappropriation of her photograph and likeness. The suit was amended one month later and also named Vanessa Sena of San Bernardino County as the defendant who was accused of taking the photo of Song from the internet and using it in the advertisement.
According to the attorney of Song, Laurence B. Steinberg, terms of the settlement agreement are still being finalized. He would not carry on the discussion of the case outside the courtroom in order to maintain confidentiality.
A hearing is scheduled to be held on 25th February.
