According to a past article by the Independent, The French novel that was hauled through the courts by Scarlett Johansson in an unsuccessful effort to halt it from being translated will be printed in the UK within weeks from now.
What led to the banning of the novel? It appears that Scarlett Johansson is not altogether pleased with using her image in the novel. The object of Scarlett Johansson's complaint was the French language book 'La premiere chose qu'on regarde', a blonde character which as labelled as Johansson's by the author.
Actress, Scarlett Johansson appealed that Delacourt made falsified use of her name, reputation, and image to promote the novel. Scarlett charged for $69,302, a court of law. However in Paris, France, the court offered her the victory, but only compensated her with $3,397.Grégoire Delacourt only wanted to show his 'declaration of love' as stated in a report by the Inquisitr. Despite winning the case, Scarlett Johansson seems the one that have lost since the compensation was not even what Scarlett Johansson has been claiming for.
Grégoire Delacourt on the other hand wanted to stress out that it was not an insult for Scarlett Johansson, but rather it was more of showing his highest praise for the actress. Was Johansson fair in her claims? It seems that the actress wanted to retain her dignity thus preventing the book from being published. With the events further escalating to the court, it gives the book free advertising as well.
