Glee star Heather Morris has been in hot water for the past 24 hours or so as photographer Tyler Shields posted his domestic abuse-themed photo shoot of the actress earlier this week. It seemed like the shoot was making light of domestic violence but according to those involved in the shoot, it’s actually supposed to be doing the opposite. TMZ reports this morning,
It seems ironic … but the brutal photo of “Glee” star Heather Morris sporting a fakeblack eye will be auctioned off soon … and all of the proceeds will go towards a domestic violence charity … TMZ has learned.
The photo ignited a major controversy when it was released on the Internet a few days ago — with some critics saying it glamorizes violence against women.
But Tyler Shields, the photog behind the shot, tells us that was NOT the intention — and he’s sorry it came off that way.
Shields says … to make up for the controversy, he’ll be auctioning off the photo, starting at $100k, and will donate every single cent he makes to a top domestic violence charity.
Forgiven??
