I just read this article in the San Francisco Chronicle.  The journalist quoted
Guccione's (Penthouse magazine) lawyer as saying: 
    
                "The fact is that this is a girl who has been
                 pretending she's Little Miss Muffet for the
                 last year and the fact is that before she won
                 the title she wasn't.  The public ought to
                 know that."

Now Guccione was quoted as saying:

                "She should remember, and I'm sure in her heart
                 she does remember, that she signed the release.
                 It's not the sort of thing a girl does every day.
                 I don't feel I'm responsible.  My obligation was
                 to my readers.  This was an interesting bit of
                 highly newsworthy information and photographs.
                 I think it's a mistake that she elected not to
                 fight to keep her crown.  I think the pageant
                 is getting away with something, which I think is
                 very unfortunate."

From what I can see, Guccione and his lawyer have opposing views as far as
whether what Venessa did was right or wrong.  So she's supposed to fight and
win.....?

Makes me wonder the reason behind publishing those photos!!!
