Neymar won the legal battle, but it is difficult to win the “war” with Playboy. The Brazilian superstar was informed today that he has won an appeal to have the local June edition of Playboy magazine removed from the stands.
The reason was Patricia Jordane who posed for the cover of Playboy entitled “The brunette who charmed Neymar ”.
This is not a lie, but Jordane is Neymar’s ex-girlfriend and now the famous football player has asked Playboy to withdraw all copies of the magazine. The court accepted his claim, but applied a relatively low penalty in case for non-compliance with the court decision.
Specifically, for each day the June issue remains on stands, the company must pay a fine of 10,000 real ($ 4,500).
Considering the publicity that this issue has received, along with the fact that Neymar is one of the top scorers, Brazil is among the 16 teams and the World Cup event is in progress, the amount is rather pennyworth!
In addition, representatives of the company “Editora Abril”, which issues the Brazilian Playboy, argue that they have not been yet notified about the decision, so the edition will remain on stands while the court decision is open for appeal.
