So last week, model Kirsten Kennis filed a lawsuit against Vampire Weekend for issues relating to the release of a photo taken in 1983. Claiming that the signature on the release was a forgery and that she had no idea the photograph would be featured on the band's new album "Contra."

Kennis is suing the band and photographer, Tom Brody, for more than $2 million.

Well after Vampire Weekend’s Ezra Koenig released a statement to NME, now XL Recordings is speaking out about the photograph in question,

“As is standard practice, Vampire Weekend and XL Recordings licensed the rights to use the photo on the cover of Contra pursuant to a license agreement that contains representations and warranties authorizing this use of the photo. Now that a lawsuit has been filed, we look forward to having the matter resolved in Court. We will be filing our response after we have had an opportunity to review the allegations. Consistent with our practice, we will not be commenting further about the pending litigation at this time.”

Yikes!

Are you on Team Vampire or Team Kirsten??
