Heidi Klum, who is currently going through a divorce from singer Seal, is considering filing a lawsuit over topless photos that were published of her - reportedly "comparing" her plight to that of Kate Middleton, the wife of Prince William.
The German supermodel was recently photographed topless during a vacation in the south of France with her new bodyguard beau. The revealing photos have surfaced on several websites since, and insiders say she is hoping to take legal action against whoever first published the pictures - in a situation similar to that of Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge.
In the shots, Klum, 39, is seen vacationing with her new boyfriend, bodyguard Martin Kirsten, with her bikini top off, according to TMZ.
According to the sources, Klum is upset because the photos were a blatant invasion of privacy, not unlike Middleton's case, in which she was snapped in a "healthy and profoundly intimate" moment at a villa in southern France, as Middleton's lawyer Aurelien Hamelle argued.
The only difference between her "topless photo scandal" compared to Middleton's is that the source who originally published the photos is unknown. Sources close to the supermodel assured TMZ that her camp is "on the hunt for the source publication."

Klum insists her privacy was violated because she was in a secluded area at the time the photos were taken. TMZ also reports that Klum may just wait and see the outcome of the Duchess' case in order to duplicate and/or avoid mistakes made during the legal process. Middleton recently won an injunction against a French magazine for running topless photos of her.
