This Miami Florida woman learned why you should always read the fine print. And now she’ll always be connected to an Erotic Novel Titled ‘His Big Childhood Sweetheart’. Christian Demeritt of Miami shared her story on Tik Tok which all started when she graduated college back in 2010.

Fresh off her theater degree, she needed some new headshots. So she met up with a recommended photographer at the park at Bayside. They took pictures in some different tops, she paid him $100 and everything seemed good. She was hoping to use the new pics to find work as an actress. What she didn’t do, was read the contract all the way through. And there’s always some fine print that’ll get ya.

Maybe the fact that he only charged her $100 should have been a red flag. The photographer sold her pictures to a ‘stock images site’. If you’re not familiar, these sites house millions of pictures of different people in different situations. And then websites (just like this one), can buy the pictures and do absolutely anything they want to do with them. The picture above? Yeah, that’s on Getty Images creative site. I can download that picture, drop it in Photoshop and do anything I want. And that’s how Christian ended up on the cover of ‘His Big Childhood Sweetheart’.
