Model Says Company Started Selling Sex Doll of Her Without Her Knowledge

What happens when you cross the three things?

Yael Cohen Aris made a compelling case that a sex doll company stole her likeness without her consent to sell a life-size replica of her.

Aris told the British talk show "This Morning" that she was aware of the misuse of her likeness when a fan sent her to a forum link that showed "prototypes" of a doll head using her first name. She said that her social media images were being used without her knowledge to promote the prototype and that it was put up for sale.

The doll and Aris are very similar. Along with initially using her name, which was later changed to "Ashley" by the Chinese sex doll company Irontech, the doll also in some marketing photos wears black-rimmed glasses.

An Irontech spokesman told The Daily Mail that the similarities between Aris and the doll that shared her first name were a coincidence.

She said that she doesn't want to sue Irontech for money, but she does want the company to stop selling it and explain to her how things went wrong.

The practice of modeling sex dolls after porn stars is common, but it is usually done with the models consent and is usually incorporated into their marketing. If Aris is right, it would be considered an violation of someone's personality rights in the US, and it could be taken to court in either Israel or China.

Aris doesn't seem interested in suing, but Irontech doesn't seem to want to stop selling the doll that looks like her. We will be interested to see what the next stage of the story will bring.

A model claims she was turned into a sex doll without her permission.
