Nick
Lachey
is
stunned
by
the
furore
surrounding
his
raunchy
holidaying
photos
with
his
girlfriend
Vanessa
Minnillo,
declaring,
"Where's
the
scandal?".
The
former
98
Degrees
singer
and
MTV
U.S.
presenter
were
photographed
having
sex
in
a
hot
tub
in
a
private
villa
near
Puerto
Vallarta,
Mexico,
and
their
lawyer
has
issued
a
warning
to
media
outlets
demanding
they
refrain
from
publishing
the
images.
Lachey
tells
America's
OK!
magazine,
"Where's
the
scandal?
I
was
in
Mexico
with
my
girlfriend
of
a
year,
celebrating
our
anniversary
on
a
private
vacation.
It's
not
like
I
was
caught
with
a
Mexican
hooker.
We've
all
gone
out
and
had
a
few
too
many
and
done
something
stupid.
We've
all
made
mistakes.
This
is
the
girl
that
I
love.
It's
tough
to
see
someone
you
care
about
be
unfairly
judged.
It's
hard
for
me
as
a
man
to
see
my
girl
go
through
that."
Minnillo
adds,
"It
was
embarrassing.
But
we
did
nothing
wrong.
I
felt
personally
violated.
If
I
was
being
disrespectful,
I
would
(have)
expected
to
be
punished,
but
I
wasn't.
It's
wrong." The
couple's
lawyer
Marty
Singer
says,
"The
photos
that
were
taken
of
our
clients
by
a
Mexican
photographer
violated
Mexican
law
and
were
a
clear
invasion
of
privacy,
and
we
have
threatened
to
take
legal
action
against
third
parties
who
publish
the
photos."
