The Picture above is in the middle of a NY courtroom fight involving a top advertising executive who allegedly enjoyed photographing the crotches of unsuspecting females, snapped a close-up shot of Maria Sharapova in a innocent yet compromising position as the tennis star posed for a Canon camera ad that was filmed in Florida, according to a new lawsuit.

In the complaint, filed yesterday in U.S. District Court in New York, Steve Biegel charges that he was fired by Dentsu Holdings, the giant Japanese advertising agency, after complaining about the photographic hobby of Toyo Shigeta, the firm’s CEO, who allegedly distributed the Sharapova photo to subordinates.

Sharapova herself isn’t suing anyone and has made no comment on the picture. She probably will now that it was released as part of the Steve Biegel wrongful termination lawsuit. The picture isn’t that bad, Just in very bad taste.
