It was one of the nastiest scandals of the year, and it looks like Dani Mathers will be paying big-time for her body-shaming.
The former Playboy model has been charged for SnapChatting a photo of a naked woman from her gym, and posting an insulting caption.
According to reports today, prosecutors in Los Angeles have filed a misdemeanour count of invasion of privacy against the 29-year-old.
Mathers is due to appear in court on 28th November, to answer to the charges.
She could be facing into a six-month jail sentence as well as a fine, if found guilty.
The incident occurred back in July, when Mathers posted the photo, writing: “If I can’t unsee this, then you can’t either.”

Management at the gym got wind of the post, and proceeded to contact the police as well revoke Mathers’ membership.
Mathers was widely criticised for body-shaming the oblivious woman, and apologised profusely for her actions.
Insisting that she ‘accidentally’ posted the shot to her followers, Mathers said: “I know that body-shaming is wrong and it’s not what I’m about; it’s not the type of person that I am.”
We’ll keep you posted on what happens next.
