LOS ANGELES - A Los Angeles Superior Court judge has voided Suicide Girls' modeling contracts, ruling that their exclusivity terms are too broad to legally keep models from doing outside modeling work.
The ruling, made against SG Services in its suit against God's Girls, declares that "each and every version" of SG Services' model releases are void and invalid as a matter of law.
SG Services, the parent company of SuicideGirls.com, has filed numerous lawsuits against websites, including GodsGirls.com, claiming they are competing sites that illegally used its models.
SG Services reportedly threatened its models with lawsuits and removal from SuicideGirls.com for doing any outside work, even on non-competing projects.
Among the lawsuits pursued by Suicide Girls is a $100,000 suit against photographer Philip Warner, aka Lithium Picnic.
Several models claimed SG Services never properly defined what it considers competition.
