The list of defendants is a lengthy one that includes photographer Kirk Weedle, band members Dave Grohl and Krist Novoselic, Kurt Cobain’s estate, Universal Music, Geffen Records, Warner Records, and MCA Music.Īccording to NPR, the lawsuit accuses the photographer of taking a “sexually graphic” photo and claims that, originally, the album was supposed to have a sticker over the baby’s genitals. The lawsuit, which was filed earlier this week in California, asks for $150,000 in damages from each of the defendants. Nirvana’s Nevermind cover album baby, Spencer Elden, all grown up. Elden has filed a lawsuit alleging child exploitation and child pornography for the cover that shows a nude four-month-old Elden in a swimming pool facing a dollar bill on a fish hook. The iconic cover of Nirvana’s 1991 album is now the subject of a lawsuit against the band, photographer and production companies. Thirty years ago, Spencer Elden was just a baby when he swam nude on Nirvana’s Nevermind album cover.
