A public relations consultant is suing her plastic surgeon and Fox Television Stations, claiming a local news program aired nude clinical photos of her body without her permission.

In a lawsuit filed Tuesday, Conilyn Judge claims that she agreed to appear in a January 2008 story entitled "Plastic Surgery Nightmares" on Fox News. Judge had undergone a "mommy makeover," including abdominoplasty, breast augmentation and mastopexy, the suit claims. She was to be interviewed as a patient with a positive outcome, the suit claims.

Judge agreed to be interviewed wearing a pink paper examination gown only after "being reassured that the camera angles would be tasteful and discreet, not showing any cleavage or thigh," the suit claims.

Before the segment aired, Fox News reporter Andrea Fujii asked Judge in an e-mail whether Judge was comfortable releasing her age, to which Judge replied, "After revealing on TV my boobs are fake and I had a tummy tuck and wearing a paper dress my age is nothing," the suit states.

Judge was out of town the night of the broadcast, when she received a voicemail from a friend in reference to photographs on Fox News, the suit claims.

"The message about photographs made no sense ... and Ms. Judge thought little more of it until the next morning," the suit states.

That's when she received another phone call and was told that her nude clinical "before" and "after" photographs had been broadcast and were online.

A clinic employee told Judge she thought Judge had given consent to release the photographs, the suit alleges. They appeared in the broadcast with a "small portion of her breasts and genitalia" blacked out, the suit claims.

Nielson Media ratings indicate the broadcast was seen by about 83,000 TV viewers, the suit states.

Judge claims the broadcast has "all but destroyed" her profession as a public relations consultant.

"She is hired by clients for her sound and trusted judgment ... on communications issues, including how to improve and protect their public image and reputation," the suit states. "The false implication from Saltz's release and Fox News' broadcast of pictures of Ms. Judge in the nude is that she exercised extremely poor personal, professional and moral judgment by knowingly consenting to ... their public release."

Judge's clients began terminating her consulting services "within days of the broadcast," the suit claims.

An employee of a former client told Judge that "he had missed the broadcast but hoped that he might have a 'private viewing,' " the suit claims.

Judge has lost "virtually all her clients," the suit claims.

On its 9 p.m. news broadcast Tuesday, a Fox 13 News anchor said the station acted professionally in accordance with the information given to them.

Staff at Saltz Plastic Surgery declined to comment; the clinic's attorney, Bobby Wright, wrote in a statement that Saltz "denies the claims made by Ms. Judge ... Dr. (Renato) Saltz and his staff acted professionally and appropriately at all times in their dealings with Ms. Judge."
