What the report says about the lawsuit

The report describes allegations and requested remedies; it does not establish a court finding or what happened in the case afterward. It does not identify a technical method of access or establish who was responsible.

Why her response focused on publication
McPhee’s reported objection was not simply about whether photographs were hers. She criticized websites that publish stolen images and the lack of recourse available to women whose images are exploited, then called for laws to change. Her statement is about consent, publication, and accountability—not an invitation to find or view the images.
