Bild Marius Høiby Sparks Outrage With Allegations of Stolen Image
Background on the Issue
Danby Choi (31) has publicly lashed out at the German publication Bild, accusing them of publishing a stolen image without consent. This image, featuring him alongside Marius Borg Høiby (27), was released on August 17, 2023, amidst allegations reported by Dagbladet about Høiby's alleged criminal connections.
Controversial Publication
The image was presented in a sensational way by Bild, Europe's largest newspaper, implying that Choi has ties to criminality. Choi expressed his anger, stating, “Bild has stolen my photo to suggest I'm a criminal. I expect not one but two apologies,” as relayed to Journalisten.
Images of Høiby
- Bild labeled the photos as shock images.
- They allegedly depict Marius Borg Høiby at a party with a dummy gun and cash.
The Repercussions
These allegations follow earlier revelations by Dagbladet concerning Høiby's connections to previously convicted criminals. Høiby is currently facing legal troubles himself, including charges related to violence against a woman.
Høiby's Response
- Høiby admitted his wrongdoings and the impact of substance use on his actions.
- He announced intentions to resume treatment for his issues.
Thus, both Choi and Høiby find themselves navigating a precarious situation, embroiled in severe media scrutiny fueled by Bild's controversial claims.
