Messy.. messy!

This guy George Zimmerman can’t seem to stay clear of drama.

The Associated Press has sent Zimmerman a cease-and-desist letter on Thursday for a painting he created based on an AP photo of Florida State Attorney Angela Corey.

Zimmerman’s now former lawyer notified the AP that she no longer represents him but said she will see to it that he gets the letter.

Paintings have now become Zimmerman’s recent money maker, having already made thousands in sales on Ebay. AP spokesperson Paul Colford told the Politico in a letter Friday:

“George Zimmerman clearly directly copied an AP photo to create his painting of Florida State Attorney Angela Corey,” Colford said. “The AP has sent a cease-and-desist letter asserting its copyright in the photo to the lawyer who recently represented Mr. Zimmerman. That lawyer has responded, and though she no longer represents Mr. Zimmerman, she will be forwarding the letter to him today.”

The photo was taken in 2012 during a press conference, when Corey announced Zimmerman would face a second-degree murder charge for the death of Trayvon Martin.  The photographer of the flick, Rick Wilson is not pleased at all with Zimmerman’s use of it.

He told the Orlando Sentinel that Zimmerman can expect legal action in conjunction with the AP if he continues to use the image.

Zimmerman just better cut his sh*t or he’ll be expecting more legal drama.
