Rihanna is going to get sued for the second time over her video for “S&M”.
In a press release, 19-year-old Philipp Paulus and his lawyer alleged that a scene in Rihanna’s bondage-themed video was based on his fashion photography series “Paperworld.”
Paulus’ work included a woman in a red dress held against a wall via plastic wrapping with black tape in X-marks over it.
Rihanna’s video features herself in the same setup, with her dress and hair styled differently than the original’s model.
Below a picture of Paulus’s original.
