Mostly known for her modeling work, particularly on Sports Illustrated Magazine, the sometimes actress became infamous when the Kate Upton and Terry Richardson video, "Cat Daddy," was released to the world in 2012 - and now, three years later, it seems like the whole thing happened without her approval.
The Kate Upton and Terry Richardson video featured the model dressed only in a tiny bikini and dancing in front of the camera to the amusement of the celebrity photographer (who has worked with the likes of Lady Gaga, Jared Leto's band Thirty Seconds to Mars and even megastar Beyoncé Knowles), and it became a viral hit at the time.
Now, according to TMZ, the model was recently asked about the Kate Upton and Terry Richardson video in an interview, and she revealed she had no knowledge whatsoever that he was going to publish it, as she thought they were just having fun in the middle of a session.
As The New York Daily News reports, the Kate Upton and Terry Richardson video featured the then 19-year old cover girl twirling in a red thong, and her dancing was exploited to the point that there was a slow-motion version in the same movie - and, ultimately, "Cat Daddy" launched her into mega stardom as one of the world's favorite bombshells - but it wasn't consensual at all.
"Yes, I did. I was like, 'That was disrespectful, you could have told me!'" she told Vogue UK when asked if she'd confronted the photographer following the release of the Kate Upton and Terry Richardson video that was even taken off YouTube for a while.
This wouldn't be the only time that Upton sees material of herself posted without her consent, as last year she was one of the victims of the large celebrity nude leaked photos scandal, which also included stars like Oscar-winning actress Jennifer Lawrence.
