Movie Not a Pleasurable Experience for Model

You would think this obscure model would be happy to be recognized in a Hollywood flick, but I guess her career isn't going anywhere so she needs to pick up a little scratch. Like $10 million. Good luck, honey.

The pleasure was all his.

A Manhattan woman whose picture was used as a sexual aid in the hit movie "Couples Retreat" has filed a $10 million lawsuit over her inspiring -- and unwitting -- appearance in the Vince Vaughn flick.

Irina Krupnik "only learned of defendants' lascivious use of her photo in the film" after it was released in theaters -- and was horrified to discover it was being used as a "masturbatory prop" for a character played by Jon Favreau, the makeup artist says in papers filed in Manhattan Supreme Court.

"That photo was taken nearly 10 years ago for a modeling job when Ms. Krupnik, a native of the former Soviet Union, was just 21 years old," the suit says, and she was unaware that the bikini shot would be used in a "sexual and degrading context" in a big-budget Hollywood movie a decade later.

The movie is a comedy about four couples trying to work out their differences at a resort in Bora Bora. In one scene, Krupnik's picture is featured in a fictitious brochure that Favreau's "overweight, unhappily married male character" uses "to masturbate while his wife is in the washroom," the suit says.

Krupnik was not amused to find herself being used for Favreau's "much older, desiccated" character to "pleasure himself," the suit says, noting that the scene "would be a crime if Mr. Favreau attempted it on a New York City subway."

Keyword if. But he didn't do the deed on the subway. How frivolous can you get?

He acknowledged that his client had signed a general release at the time the picture was taken, but said she'd never imagined it would be used in a "quasi-pornographic context."

The suit charges the company with invading Krupnik's privacy and defamation and seeks $10 million in damages for her "great humiliation, embarrassment, emotional distress, shame, mortification and injury to her reputation and career."

Injury to her career? What career?
