Actor and TikToker @christian.joy.d said a south Florida photographer gave her a discount on her 2010 graduation headshots—but she neglected to read the fine print.

You've got to read the fine print.

Otherwise, you may end up like TikToker @christian.joy.d... on the cover of a softcore sex novel!


The TikToker Christian Demeritt shared that she hired a photographer for $100 to snap some graduation photos in 2010 but had no idea they would end up in anyone else's hands but hers.

She revealed:

"I didn't read the fine print on my headshots contract and my photographer sold my pics to stock photo sites."

And where did the images end up?

In one case, as noted in Demeritt's first video about the photos, on the front of a book named His Big, Childhood Sweetheart: BWWM, BBW, Plus Size, Childhood Sweetheart, Billionaire Romance.

You can check out the video—and the book cover—in the video below.

Should I do a #Storytime ? #greenscreen

Some viewers of the video jokingly told Demeritt to chalk it up as a win.

Some users asked how Demeritt found out that her image had been used, and she revealed that the book cover wasn't actually her initial discovery.

A friend of hers sent her a picture of the front of a local newspaper which used Demeritt's image to depict a Black Mona Lisa.

Demeritt said that she actually liked the picture... but she didn't know how they got it.

Several chimed in that her image extends far beyond a local paper and erotic novel.

We have to agree with Demeritt when she said:

"This picture has made its rounds."

We bet she'll read before she signs from now on!

Even though it might be yogurt for dinner for a few weeks after, we still feel good about our expensive purchases when we see the difference a high-powered washing machine makes, or feel the cool air from our upgraded air conditioner.

Man Goes Viral After 3D-Printing A 6-Pound Phone Case To Combat Screen Addiction

Many Millennials will remember back in the nineties as the last of the "latchkey kids" who were prominently babysat by their televisions, and the commercials that rolled out, made popular on Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network, promoting kids to go play outside instead of watching TV all day.

Woman Sparks Heated Debate After Encouraging People To Smile At Walmart Greeters

There's an old saying that goes, "It costs nothing to be kind."

Smiling at a stranger, saying hi back to a young and socialable child, holding a door for someone, and maybe even exchanging a pleasantry or two at the checkout line costs nothing more than a few words passing our lips and showing a little kindness.
