Demi Moore, Vanity Fair controversy

In August 1991, Demi Moore appeared n*de on the cover of Vanity Fair under the title More Demi Moore. Annie Leibovitz shot the picture while Demi Moore was seven months pregnant with her daughter Scout LaRue, intending to portray "anti-Hollywood, anti-glitz" attitude.

The cover sparked an intense controversy for Vanity Fair and Demi Moore. It was widely discussed on television, radio, and in newspaper articles. The frankness of Leibovitz's portrayal of a pregnant s*x symbol led to divided opinions, ranging from complaints of s*xual objectification to celebrations of the photograph as a symbol of empowerment.

The photograph was subject to numerous parodies, including the Spy magazine version, which placed Demi Moore's then husband Bruce Willis' head on her body. In Leibovitz v. Paramount Pictures Corp., Leibovitz sued over one parody featuring Leslie Nielsen, made to promote the 1994 film Naked Gun 33⅓: The Final Insult.

In the parody, the model's body was attached to what is described as "the guilty and smirking face" of Nielsen. The teaser said "Due this March". The case was dismissed in 1996 because the parody relied "for its comic effect on the contrast between the original".

In November 2009, the Moroccan magazine Femmes du Maroc emulated the infamous pose with Moroccan news reporter Nadia Larguet, causing controversy in the majority Muslim nation.

In August 1992, Demi Moore would again appear n*de on the cover of Vanity Fair, modeling for the world's leading body painting artist, Joanne Gair in Demi Moore's Birthday Suit. The painting is widely considered to be the best-known example of modern body painting artwork.
