In May 1995, Gwyneth Paltrow and Brad Pitt were dating and they went on a 10 day holiday to the Caribbean island, St. Barts. On one of those days, they were both naked on their balcony, enjoying the warm weather, when a paparazzo managed to access the property and when he saw both stars fully nude, he saw the perfect chance to get his best payday yet. He threw decency out the window and snapped multiple pictures of them sitting and walking around on the balcony. A few days later the pictures were published in multiple European publications, and eventually started making their way online, and everyone was talking about them. I can't imagine how violated they felt to have their privacy invaded in such a way and when they found out about the publication of the photographs, Brad stated: Some things have to remain sacred. I mean, come on. They're special moments. And they're private moments. And again, you know, common decency He then met with Bruce Paltrow, Gwyneth's father, and told him about the pictures and apologized to him for the situation and said that it wouldn't have happened if he wasn't dating her. Two years later Brad finally saw his chance to get some justice. In 1997 Playgirl magazine decided to print those pictures in their August issue: Brad sued them and the judge ordered Playgirl to stop the distribution of that issue and also ordered them to pull that issue from newsstands. The only people that managed to receive the magazines were the magazine's subscribers who had them sent directly to their homes, and have since then made quite a profit selling them: The lawsuit didn't make up for the shame that he and Gwyneth felt after the whole world saw them in such a vulnerable state, but it managed to make publishers scared of printing those photographs. Gwyneth and Brad split in 1997.
