THE LOW DOWN: Maria Sharapova exhibits best shot off the tennis court

Apparently Maria "Shriek"apova's best shot was off the tennis court. According to the NY Daily News Toyo Shigeta, head of a japanese ad agency, took secret, candid crotch shots of the Russian star during a photoshoot for Canon in 2005. TheSmokingGun.com has the full claim and the infamous shot now known as "Exhibit B":


Shitega is being sued by his former creative director Steve Biegel who claims the company fired him after he complained about Shigeta's propensity for pornographic picture-taking. Biegel also alleges that he was forced to go to a bathhouse and a Prague brothel, where Shigeta urged the married Biegel to have sex with a prostitute.
