I'm not ashamed of topless photos, Diaz tells court

Actress Cameron Diaz told a court she was not ashamed of topless pictures taken early in her career by a photographer who threatened to sell them before the release of one of her films.

She said photographer John Rutter approached her in June 2003, days before the release of Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle, and asked for €2.9m. Diaz said she attempted to strike a partnership with Rutter but he refused. She then realised he was trying to blackmail her.
