UPDATE: this story is now under trial, you can read the latest update here. Remember that couple – the Moldovans – who said that their photographer – Andrea Polito – made them pay extra for an album cover? The photographer since came forward with her version of the story showing evidence that she suggested the couple a free cover (and actually went above and beyond for the couple). Many news outlets, though, did not follow up on the story to vindicate Polito. And sadly, even if they did, telling a story about a photographer that is doing good is not as exciting as a photographer who is mistreating their clients and the follow up did not get as much attention. Obviously Polito’s business took a major hit during those event and now she is seeking justice with the Moldovans. In a filing made to Dallas county Polito is asking for a jury trial for a sum between $200,000 and $1,000,000.
The case spans over a dozen pages and state the reason for the lawsuit:
Polito and attorneys also say that the Moldovans were not pure at intents. Not at all: And so they are asking to be compensated: If you recall, the original case was about a $150 cover. Now it is a $1,000,000 lawsuit. I would imagine that both parties are not happy about how this escalated.
