In a June 14 letter to Clear Channel Communications lawyer Donna Schneider, Spears’s counsel claims that the billboards promoting the MJ Morning Show were “outrageous to the extreme” and demanded their removal.
The three outdoor advertisements pair a paparazzi photo of a bald, snarling Spears with a picture of WFLZ morning show host Todd Schnitt (who uses the air name MJ Kelli). They are headlined, “Total Nut Jobs,” “Shock Therapy,” and “Certifiable.”
According to the star’s lawyer, Spears’s “likeness has a multi-million-dollar value for authorized commercial exploitations” and, as a result, she is entitled to “very substantial damages” from Clear Channel.
