Taylor Swift had asked a judge to keep that photo under wraps.
Los Angeles:
A piece of court-sealed evidence in singer Taylor Swift's sexual assault lawsuit against Colorado DJ David Mueller has been leaked.
The photo, published by TMZ, shows the singer standing in between DJ and another woman during the 2013 fan meet-and-greet after which she alleged that Mueller grabbed her.
In the picture, Swift posed with both arms behind either individual while Mueller's right hand is placed behind her back.
The 26-year-old "Blank Space" hitmaker had alleged in a deposition in July that Mueller grabbed her while she was getting ready to pose for photo.
Swift had asked a judge to keep that photo under wraps on grounds it would prejudice the potential jury.
In late October, the judge granted Swift the right to seal one of the photos in evidence from the public's viewing until the case goes to trial. However, Swift was denied a request to withhold any other evidence, including a deposition she gave.
Mueller has maintained his innocence, filing a lawsuit against Swift in October 2015 that claimed he was fired from his job over the "false accusations" that he groped her.
Swift filed a counter suit against Mueller for assault and battery.
In documents, the Grammy winner demanded a jury trial and promised that any money won from the trial would benefit charitable organizations "protecting women from similar acts of sexual assault and personal disregard".
