Irina Krupnik has been many things in her life: a Soviet citizen, a bikini model, a successful makeup artist, and most recently, the only adult female on the planet who had no idea men jerk off to photos of hot chicks.

In a lawsuit filed against NBC-Universal, she claims that she was shocked and dismayed to see that a photo of her –taken when she was 21 and still blesed with that new-bikini-smell– was used as a masturbatory aid in the movie Couples Retreat. And if your first thought upon reading this was “Hey, I’d be pretty grossed out if my only scrap of immortality came (literally) at the hands of a lubed-up Jon Favreau,” well then, you understand the basis of her case perfectly. This, according to her legal-eagle:

…the actor John Favreau, playing a character a least twice the age of Ms. Krupnik in the photo, waits until his wife leaves their hotel room before lifting his sleeveless T-shirt over his prominent belly. He then liberally lubricated himself while leering at the image of the youthful Ms. Krupnik on a beach, a scenario apparently intended to be humorous.

…

It has an unhappy, seedy looking guy and having him leer at a young, cute woman is even more gross. It’s the proverbial dirty old man. This is not a love scene with Richard Gere.

I just checked, and Richard Gere is 17 years older than Jon Favreau, with a tabloid-heavy sexual resume. But according to Irina’s lawyer, if this had been a scene featuring the 61 year-old Gere getting it on with a poster of his client while a gerbil ran around the room in a frenzy, everything would have been different.

Dear NBC-Universal: please edit this scene into the movie. I will totally watch it if you do. Chop chop, people!

(Oh, and Irina… sorry, but while I was writing this, yet another unhappy, seedy looking guy blew some knuckle children into a sock while looking at you. But no one saw me –outside of fifty or sixty people on Chatroulette– so I’m sure it’s cool, right?)
