Tom Brady’s baby mama and star of the CBS drama “Blue Bloods” is threatening to sue photographer James “Tiff” Pemberton if he puts up an art display of naked pictures he snapped of her more than a decade ago.
Pemberton, 52, dated the gorgeous Moynahan, 43, when she was a model poised to make her feature film debut in “Coyote Ugly” in 2000. They were lovers for about three years — during which the high-end shutterbug snapped hundreds of photos, some of which he described as “erotic.”
One set — a nude Moynahan and one of Pemberton’s best friends in a shoot in Williamsburg, Brooklyn — apparently was so objectionable that Moynahan demanded it be destroyed when the couple broke up, Pemberton recalled.
“It was just a nude shoot,” the Astoria-based lensman recalled. “We did it kind of drunk. It was kind of funny or what have you.”
He insisted the photos — about 1,100 in total — are not creepy candid pictures of some unwitting celebrity. Moynahan gladly participated in the shoots, many of which were done professionally in assorted studios, he said.
“This was part of our life — it was a documentary of our life then,” he said.
In a threatening letter to Pemberton from her attorney, Moynahan — who posed in her birthday suit for Allure magazine in 2011 — says she asked that all the photos ever taken of her be destroyed and that she never signed a release consenting to use of the snaps.
“Ms. Moynahan . . . has spent her career making sure she did not do images like the photos for any public use/release, and even turned down movies with gratuitous nudity because she always had her family in mind,” the letter reads. “The private photos of her taken during the course of your romantic relationship were intended solely for her and your private personal review.”
The snarky document continues: “Irrespective of any rights to privately personally look at the photos yourself (which we understand does not go over well with your fiancé), our client certainly never legally consented to the public use of her image and name.”
Pemberton — whose photos can sell for upwards of $2,000 apiece — said he and Moynahan remained friends after they broke up. About a year ago, he reached out to his ex to tell her he thought the shots could be featured in an exhibit and showed her about 100 images as a sample.
“She thought they were beautiful,” Pemberton said, but she asked that they not be showcased publicly and that he sign a contract “that was going to restrict any use of these images.”
Pemberton balked.
“Attacking you for the rights to your work is wrong,” he told The Post. “It’s a statement about what a celebrity will do to squash what they don’t want out there.”
Moynahan’s lawyer did not return a request for comment.
