“It was terrifying,” said MaryAnn Sahoury, who said she had seen an opportunity to help women who had trouble getting their babies to nurse.

Last week, a federal judge in New Jersey ruled that a lawsuit Sahoury filed against Meredith Corp., a media and marketing company that shot and produced the video for Parents TV, could proceed.

The lawsuit claims Sahoury was verbally assured her full name would not be used in the video; instead, it displayed Sahoury’s full name on screen, the suit said. Meredith claims Sahoury signed a release on behalf of herself and her daughter allowing the company to use their “image, voice and name.”

“While Meredith is not responsible for this,” the company said in a statement, “we deeply regret that this has occurred to Ms. Sahoury and her family.”
