Playboy sued over Macca’s mullet
By Andy Malt | Published on Wednesday 23 November 2016
Paul McCartney’s 1970s mullet may not be quite as hilarious as Playboy thought. The company is being sued for using a picture of the former Beatle without permission back in 2014 in a gallery titled ‘Fifteen Hilariously Awesome Celebrity Mullets’.
Photographer James Fortune, who took the picture of Macca’s Wings-era moustache and mullet combo, is suing over its use, according to TMZ. He is demanding that he be handed all profits Playboy has made from the use of the photograph, which may be a tricky thing to quantify.
The greatest tragedy in all of this is that the gallery has now been taken down, which means there are fourteen other celeb mullets we may never know about. TMZ has licensed the McCartney one for the good of humanity though.
