Brooklyn Law Officials ‘Shocked and Mortified’ by Steamy Library Photo Shoot
When Brooklyn Law School officials allowed Diesel to use the library for a photo shoot during spring break, they were unaware it would include photos of a woman atop a man on a desk, both clad in underwear with suggestive messages.
They know now. Last week Diesel posted the photos on its website, the New York Post reports. Underwear-clad models are lying on top of desks, perched on top of book shelves, and standing suggestively beside the stacks. “Tonight I am your school teacher,” reads the panties of a female model. “Tonight I’m your student,” the male model’s underwear says.
Above the Law was first with the story.
Interim dean Michael Gerber sent an e-mail to students after the photos were posted, the New York Post reports in its first story on the incident. “We are as shocked and mortified as you must be by these photographs,” the e-mail said. “When the school gave its permission to do the shoot, the school was assured that the photos would be in good taste. They are not.”
A school spokesperson told ATL that officials understood Diesel models would be wearing the company’s jeans, rather than what is worn under them. But the school’s events director was present during the photo shoot, a spokesperson told the Post.
One female student expressed disgust at a photo of two panty-wearing women climbing over law library computers toward an open-mouthed man. “It’s gross,” she told the New York Post. “I work on those computers every day!”
