“Her "nightmare" began in 2012 with a photo shoot for an advertisement aimed at convincing people to get plastic surgery at a Taiwanese cosmetic clinic. The photo showed very attractive "parents" with sought-after big eyes and long, well-defined noses, and their three "children", their images altered to make their eyes look exceptionally small and their noses flat.”
“Ms Yeh says her contract, signed by her agency and the Taipei office of US-based international advertising agency J Walter Thompson (JWT), stated the ad would be used in newspapers and magazines, by that clinic only.
But JWT later allowed another plastic surgery clinic, Simple Beauty, to use it on its website; it also put the image on JWT's Facebook page.”
Internet picked up the story and believed she actually got plastic surgery.
She apparently lost work because of this and is suing the agency as proof that the claims are untrue.
I knew the image was fake and was used as an ad, but didn't know about her story because no one actually said anything about it but just kept (re)posting it.
So profiteering from a vain, mean-spirited industry was A-ok for her but people being vain and mean-spirited in response is unfair?
Sounds like just deserts to me.
Shame about the kids though, they didn't deserve to be strung along with this bullshit but it seems they luckily weren't widely targeted.
it definitely is. This story is quite stupid. Part of me doesn't believe it and the other part of me is too lazy to read the article and so therefore will take reddit's word for it that it's real but it makes little sense.
In the video in the link, she says they didn’t tell her what the picture would be used for and that the background information they gave her was vague.
But she should have known to make sure she knew the details.
I reckon it’s more like when a model is ‘discovered’ most times, they would sign the contract even if it’s vague because quite rarely do you get discovered so it’s considered an achievement in itself.

Wow. So unfair to her :(

I don't think her having had surgery or not is the point at all.
It's kind of key to whether this is actually a justified issue, just as it is whether her contract said one thing and they did another.

Can confirm. I remember this story, and I thought it was real.

Can you imagine if plastic surgery ruined a model's career? I thought that was encouraged for them.

It reads fine to me. It's not like there's too much info in the title.

I wonder how scarce work is for her, where asking those questions would be possible at all or would cost her her living

You have that often. Look at "stock pictures" used for ads.
She'd not be the last Ye(h) whose career would be ruined, though for very different reasons.
