Controversial Music Video Sparks Legal Battle

 

A popular Russian musician "Дельфин" has found themselves at the center of a legal dispute after a model who appeared in their music video accused the team of altering the footage to make it appear as if she was not wearing underwear.

The model, who participated in the video for the song "Месть," claims that the casting director explicitly stated that the filming would be done on a glass floor and asked participants to wear skirts and red shorts to maintain decency. However, the model alleges that during post-production, the team changed the color of her red underwear to beige, creating a skin color image.

The model has initiated legal action, seeking to have the video removed from YouTube, a public apology on social media, and monetary compensation for the alleged moral damage. The lawsuit contends that the alteration of the footage was intentional and aimed to exploit the model's image for commercial gain.

While the model argues that the alteration was intentional and damaging to her reputation, some observers believe that the entire incident could be a publicity stunt. They point to the fact that the model's identity remains undisclosed and that the video itself has gained significant attention due to the controversy.

Others have raised questions about the technical feasibility of changing the color of underwear in post-production, suggesting that the lighting conditions in the video, particularly the strong orange hue, may have distorted the appearance of the red underwear, making it appear closer to skin tone. Ultimately, the outcome of the legal proceedings will determine the validity of the model's claims and the extent of the musician's liability.
