Amuro made comments expressing that she did not want her private life to be exposed publicly and she was looking to the courts to make sure this incident does not happen again.
The tabloid’s publisher had no comment at press time as they had yet to receive the petition.

That might be true but I remember reading somewhere that Namie asked if tabloids or other magazines didn't want to post pictures of her son.
And they did so I think Namie has all reason to sue them.
