Melbourne
(ANI):
Lara
Bingle
has
confessed
that
she
felt
'exploited'
after
ex-flame
AFL
star
Brendan
Fevola
released
her
nude
photo.
Bingle
is
suing
Fevola
for
circulating
her
nude
picture
taken
in
a
shower.
The
pic
was
published
in
last
week's
Woman's
Day
magazine.
However,
Bingle
has
come
forward
to
do
a
"tell-all" interview
with
the
same
magazine,
for
a
reported
200,000
dollars
fee.
Her
agent
said
that
she
would
be
donating
the
amount
to
charity.
"When
I
found
out
about
it,
I
just
felt
like
I
had
been
violated,"
News.com.au
quoted
her
as
telling
the
magazine.
She
added:
"I
do
blame
him
(Fevola).
It
was
a
complete
betrayal
at
a
time
of
my
life
when
I
trusted
him.
I
was
vulnerable
and
it
was
a
total
mistake
to
trust
him."
Bingle
revealed
she
is
suing
Fevola,
since
she
wants
to
send
a
"strong
message"
to
others
not
to
exploit
women.
She
added:
"It
is
important
for
me
to
try
and
restore
my
own
sense
of
dignity
and
self-respect
by
taking
control
of
the
situation
and
showing
everyone
that
it
is
not
cool
or
funny
to
send
an
unauthorised
nude
photo
of
someone
to
your
friends.
"I
also
feel
exploited
and
compromised
by
the
release
of
a
photograph
I
never
gave
permission
to
him
to
take
-
and
one
he
promised
he
had
deleted
when
he
realised
how
upset
I
was
that
he
would
do
that.
It
should
never
have
been
taken
in
the
first
place.
It
was
definitely
an
invasion
of
my
privacy
and
I
had
always
understood
it
had
been
deleted."
Bingle
is
currently
dating
Australian
cricketer
Michael
Clarke.
