It seems only yesterday when nude photos of Nancy Benoit were published on Hustler Magazine. It became highly controversial then because the magazine got it on print after Nancy was killed by her husband, wrestler Chris Benoit.
The crime happened years ago, when Chris killed his wife, their son and then himself in 2007.
When Hustler published photos of nude 20-year-old Nancy Benoit, her family filed a federal lawsuit against Hustler’s publisher, Larry Flynt Publishing Group. Now the Supreme Court is allowing the lawsuit to proceed.
In October 2008, a federal judge ruled in favor of the Hustler and dismissed the lawsuit with the conclusion that the magazine had the right to publish the nude photos because Nancy’s death was a “legitimate matter of public interest and concern.” But last year, Atlanta-based 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals reversed that ruling and now says that the magazine had no right to publish those photos.
