Mischa Barton Declares Victory for ‘Revenge Porn’ Case

You guys remember when Mischa Barton ex-boyfriend was shopping a sex tape around porn outlets as a form of revenge? She and her lawyer quickly filed suit to stop it from getting leaked, and it turns out they won!

Mischa’s lawyer, Lisa Bloom, filed a lawsuit against the ex, Jon Zacharias, and yesterday they reached a settlement in Los Angeles, which led to Jon agreeing not to distribute any of the images and to turn them all over to Mischa.

“COURT VICTORY today with Mischa Barton,” Lisa tweeted. “Distribution of the explicit images banned, ex stays 100 yards away forever.

In a statement to People, Lisa said:

“Today we have won an important agreement, which permanently blocks the dissemination of these images. All explicit photos and videos of Mischa must be handed over to me immediately. Her ex must stay 100 yards away from her today, tomorrow, and forever. And the court will retain jurisdiction over the case in case we need further enforcement. I am proud to declare victory for Mischa. She did this not just for herself, but for all women and girls. Mischa wants everyone to know that we have the right to control our own bodies and decide whether or not to have explicit photos out there for the world to see. If a woman wants to do that, fine. If she doesn’t, fine. The choice is hers and hers alone.”
