Stewart licensed the picture to a website in June. He is suing for copyright infringement and wants any profits Lopez made from the photo up to $150,000.
Other celebrities have gotten in trouble for posting pictures a professional photographer took of them. Khloe Kardashian, Blac Chyna, and Jessica Simpson are just a few.
Should the photographer just be happy that the work has been seen by a lot of people or should Lopez have to pay for permission to use a picture of herself?
