In addition to invasion of privacy, Strauss claims that she wasn't paid for the use of her pictures and is also suing for theft of image and unjust enrichment. The aspiring catwalker also accuses Baptiste of trying to seduce her after a photo session.

"During the shoots…Baptiste offered Jael alcohol, allegedly to calm her nervousness and to relax her," the suit states. "On returning from the shoot in Malibu to Jael's residence, Baptiste inquired whether Jael would like to have sex with him. She declined."

The book's publication and the unsolicited Internet presence have "damaged [Strauss] in the beginning of her entertainment career and caused severe damage to her public image," court documents state.

Strauss, whose time on Top Model was jolted by news that a friend had died of a drug overdose and by the usual fights with her fellow competitors, had to pose nude, albeit covered with makeup and ice cream, for one of the would-be cover girls' weekly photo shoots.

After she was booted from the show, Strauss told realitytvworld.com that she had no problem baring all.

"I loved it," she said. "I totally strive to be fearless. I am not uncomfortable with my body. People should not be uncomfortable with their bodies and learn to be free."
